MMLM EP 11: Revisiting The Experience of Two Revolutionary Physical Education Teachers & Coaches

Physical education thought leaders, Paul Zientarski & Tim McCord, speak with us today on our Move More, Learn More! podcast talk about their experiences lighting a SPARK in physical education as featured in John Ratey's New York Times bestseller SPARK: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain. They have recommendations for refocusing physical education on health, wellness, passion, connectedness, and daily movement. As they point out, physical education is the one class in school that touches on brain development, physical health, reading, math, and academic achievement. Therefore, physical education educators are best suited to understand child development and the brain, enabling them to make an even more meaningful difference in the lives of children and adolescents.
