Teacher-Leader Edition:
Health and Physical Education as Steps to Recovery
|
|
New Yorkers are resilient: Time and again we have shown our grit and ability to come together during times of crisis. That is especially true of our educators and school staff who continue to show up for our students. During traumatic events, nothing is more important than focusing on our physical, mental, and social-emotional well-being, especially for our students. Now more than ever, all students need the knowledge and skills they learn in Health and Physical Education to stay safe and healthy, and to recover.
It will take all of us, especially you—our Health and Physical Education teachers and school leaders—to prioritize the well-being of our young people and respond to their needs. Please take the time to browse this week’s special issue of School Wellness Weekly, Teacher-Leader Edition, to find opportunities to be in community with your Health and PE colleagues, and to build on your skills to deliver high-quality instruction now and for the remainder of the school year.
