Send us Fan MailWelcome PE Nation!Today I share a part-two update on my martial arts style leadership program for elementary PE and how the belt levels are working in real life. I break down the benefits, the problems I did not expect, and what I want to change so it runs even better next year. • belt system built around leadership, behavior, and helpfulness rather than athletic skill • how students earn white, green, orange, purple, black, and red belt levels • daily responsibility expectations like wristbands, water bottles, and best effort • leadership roles through captains, referees, and helping classmates • privileges that reinforce trust and positive behavior • pros like improved effort, better sportsmanship, and stronger classroom culture • cons like some kids opting out, parent complaints, and over-promotion risks • future plans to make criteria clearer and fund supplies with a grant Definitely check out the first episode on the leadership program, it’ll give you a better idea of it.
