It’s been a painful year…? on this platform. I’m trying my luck over at Blue Sky. For those #physed people still around, I look forward to seeing you over there.

Check out the #physed #blog on the importance of adopting an activist approach that co-creates curricula with students, addressing societal pressures & ensuring that girls feel empowered to participate & thrive in physical activity. #girlsPE.

Hey, #French teachers in #Canada, looking for a textbook to best support students who have zero or very little French knowledge and understanding. Grades 5-7. Thank you so much for any leads! #bccurriculum.

Excited to share the latest #blog on early sport specialization! Read about the evidence-based research to inform coaches, educators, & families. Don't miss the infographic, too. Does your school's policy/policies protect student-athletes? #physed

I’m over here hanging by the ocean and sitting in the forest. AQI peaked at 8 today.

Anyone in Beijing (lately), can you confirm this chart is true? . How many highly polluted cities around the world (Dhaka, Hanoi, New Delhi, Dubai - to name a few) are trending down? . If I were looking for work abroad, clean air would be non-negotiable. #airpollution #CleanAir

Excited to introduce this new #physed self-assessment. Students will discover their 'just right' challenge by exploring various ways to send objects - from rolling to overhand throwing.
