2 responses I use 2 help shift “-“ &fixed mindsets in #PE class. I’ve even used on myself 2 get my mind focused on possibility. Do u find Ss focus on what they can’t do or embody a fixed mindset? Maybe ur own mind or POV is slipping to a fixed 1 or dreading something to do/teach in #PhysEd class.

#Assessment & #grading in #PE often raise a lot of questions: What’s fair? What’s accurate? What reflects student learning? A standards-based approach can provide clarity, but it’s not always clear how 2 make it work in #PhysEd. What’s ur biggest ? or challenge for SBG in PE? Let’s talk about it!

Great seeing so many educators on here. Still learning how the groups work and connecting. Loving the activity in #EduSky. Happy to connect

I put this on other platforms, & the responses have been 🤔 A common challenge in #PhysEd: the outdated idea that all Ss must do the exact same thing. Not only is it outdated, it’s demotivating! Good news: it doesn't have to be this way. How can we rethink #PE to meaningfully engage every learner?

Wondering if there are any teachers/admin on here with an interest or passion related to #assessment in education. New to the platform and trying to find my people
