What's up PE Nation!
Today I take a hard look at what’s working and what needs work across our PE program, from a new student leadership system to weather-bent units, a missed grant, a messy Turkey Trot tally, and a post-surgery plan that turns warmups into student-led moments. Reflection sets the tone, action steps make it real.
• leadership program wristbands
• weather disruptions forcing spiraled units and flexible pacing
• missed grant prompting fundraisers and sharper proposals
• turkey trot run-in-one-day success with flawed lap counting
This and more on today's episode. Take time to reflect on your program and make steps to improve going into the new year.
Take care,
Dave
