Nice. We did the Mileage club a few years ago. Had an adult doing it but Ss managers makes more sense. #espechat https://t.co/5UTxdoRHLl

SchmidJudy Oct 4 @ 8:40 PM EDT

rich_wiles - Moderator Oct 4 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4. Still trying to develop this chat into state credit with personalized pd. @AACountySchools @MD_HPE #espechat

ckmulloy Oct 4 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@rich_wiles So far on #physed conferences. Best Practices in WI and #WHPE but I would be more than willing to do more! #ESPEchat

PEbyMrE Oct 4 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A4: Indp. School, really advocating PE over other areas; & getting Ts to know it's PE not gym like Math isn't called numbers #espechat

APQenclasse Oct 4 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A4 #espechat I started a bike across Canada program. Every classroom has a spin bike.

rich_wiles - Moderator Oct 4 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@bdevore Board meetings have a good amount of power. We all should attend one board meeting a year #physed community. #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Oct 4 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@MsTuckerRocksPE I have the model just need help pushing through each county. Will share with anyone. #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Oct 4 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Q5. Why do we need to still advocate for PhysED? #espechat

bdevore7 Oct 4 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@rich_wiles part of the battle is getting to know your school board members before you really need them! #espechat

leticarino Oct 4 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@rich_wiles thanks for moderating #espechat. Got to go now!

smsandino Oct 4 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@leticarino Thanks for joining. #espechat

Mr_C_PE Oct 4 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@rich_wiles @MsTuckerRocksPE this would be awesome. much of my county-provided PD is lacking in substance and relevance for PE #espechat

smsandino Oct 4 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5 I don't think we're there yet, there are still people that have preconceived notions about #physed being roll out the ball #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Oct 4 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@rich_wiles A5) Quality #physed needs to be achieved for all Ss, not just some #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Oct 4 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A5. ESSA funding is so important in #physed right now. We need to fight for our funding in a big pot of groups. We need a voice. #espechat

SchmidJudy Oct 4 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A5. Because too many still call it "Gym" and we are "Gym" teachers, push Physical Education!! #espechat

ckmulloy Oct 4 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A5: #physed is at a "Tipping Point" @MissHartl shared in a speech. It is up to us to keep it tipping in the right direction #espechat

Mr_C_PE Oct 4 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A5 our job is not done. We have made great strides to begin to change the perception of PE. Can't let off the gas now #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Oct 4 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@smsandino We don't dodge balls or wrenches. Sorry had to go for the bad line. #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Oct 4 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@SchmidJudy Gym lives down the street! #espechat

bdevore7 Oct 4 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A5 still too many bad experiences and negative media connotations. #espechat

smsandino Oct 4 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A5 There's so much progress we have yet to pave the way for especially with #physicalliteracy in #physed #espechat

ckmulloy Oct 4 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@smsandino And unfortunately still Ts teaching that way! Keep pushing and don't give up on changing that notion! #ESPEchat

PEbyMrE Oct 4 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5: I don't call your subjects numbers or words - it's PE not gym #espechat

bdevore7 Oct 4 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5 only the negative stories get PR. Not the great ones like are being shared here tonight! #espechat

SchmidJudy Oct 4 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@PhysEdApps Or is a room with 4 walls - or includes tumbling & acrobatics #espechat

smsandino Oct 4 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@rich_wiles completely agree Rich! Just say NO to dodgeball haha #ESPEchat

rich_wiles - Moderator Oct 4 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Last question for the evening. Q6. What can @SHAPE_America do to help you advocate for more #physed in your area? #espechat

APQenclasse Oct 4 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5 #espechat we need to advocate for #physed and share best practices until most of us can agree on what it means to have a q.p.e. program.

DMickBeversdorf Oct 4 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5: for Ss to have a well rounded education and for Ss to understand how important their health is we still have work to do #espechat

adamphowell Oct 4 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@smsandino @rich_wiles I think some folks truly feel dodgeball is a great fitness and engagement activity too #ESPEchat

Mr_C_PE Oct 4 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A6 Continue to be a presence on Capitol Hill. Policy makers need to understand the importance of what we do day in and day out. #espechat

DMickBeversdorf Oct 4 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A6: @SHAPE_America does a good job WHPE is working hard on advocacy right now too and I am excited to be a part of it! #espechat
