from The Supersized PhysEd Podcast · host David Carney
Send us Fan MailWelcome to Summer,Today I lay out a simple way to rest during summer break while still coming back ready to serve students better. I use the three Rs reflect, refocus, and regroup to review what worked, fix what didn’t, and build a real plan instead of repeating last year. • reflecting on the previous school year with pluses, minuses, changes, and keepers • building a PE culture that stays fun and educational • using a wristband-style student leadership program to create ownership and responsibility • dealing with tight equipment budgets, missed grants, and making do with what you have • spotting games and routines that feel stale and deciding what to tweak or drop • refocusing the yearly calendar around weather, indoor days, and units like net games • adding new games, music, exercises, and better ways to run large-group flag football • planning bigger projects like a treasure hunt challenge, archery, and a bike trailer • regrouping with a written plan, backwards planning, and meetings with administration Take care,Dave-Check out supersizedphysed.com for more resources, including free PDFs, articles, and courses to help with your PE program.
