For #PhysEd teachers there is a tension around assessment & feedback that can hold us & our students back.
You want students to improve. You don't want to discourage the ones who need feedback the most.
That pull is real.
It shapes what we say & how it lands.

Teaching #PhysicalEducation feels heavier right now than it did in Sept. Behavior & engagement require more attention & energy.
That’s why I’m leading a live session on Feb 8 & 11 to make PE easier to teach right now.

#PE teachers we’ve all sat through irrelevant PD that's hard to engage with.
What if student disengagement in #PhysicalEducation isn’t so much about motivation but about experiences that don’t align w how students want 2 participate?
Sometimes answers are closer than we think

Grading behaviours or learning in PE?
This question often creates tension & confusion.
In my latest newsletter, I explore why behaviours matter but are not the learning, & how to support them without letting them stand in for assessment and grading.

Assessment stress in PE is rarely about tools or effort.
It’s usually about clarity.
When learning is unclear, assessment feels messy.
Then grading feels unclear & it becomes harder to see how assessment supports teaching & learning.
Looking ahead to ‘26 what would u like to feel more clear about?

Good question.
That’s a novel idea. It makes sense as handles/SM names are new ways of connecting today.
Illustrated MTSS pyramid with labels. Text reads: 'Tier Three intervention isn’t special education. It just means intensive intervention, & anyone might need it.'
Tier 3 is not special education. It’s just intensive intervention, and anyone might need it. #LeadInclusion #MTSS #UDL #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter
AI can help for sure. One thought: rather than seeing/treating formative assessment as a thing (eg. exit tickets), let’s keep in mind that how assessment info is used determines if it’s formative or summative. Not the tool itself.
On vacation but working behind the scenes!
Excited to soon open & welcome #PE teachers to a space 2 connect, learn, & grow, focusing on 1of the most underserved & unsupported parts of teaching PE: #assessment & #grading.
Making it make sense!

Not at all. I say to kids in class that choosing to play dodgeball outside of school is one thing, and many people love it. However, as a mandated activity for all to do in PE class is another. Kids want to play it intramural-cool. In class for all to do-no thanks

Yup. They are great tools indeed. Are you using them to evaluate both learning achievement with specific learning standards and then also to determine an overall grade, or one to determine an overall grade only?
2 phrases to help shift perspectives
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.
Valid points, both of them. Now, they can unpack that and work it out (hopefully)
Great question. Are you searching for prof scales to evaluate particular learning standards or to form an overall grade for reporting purposes? They serve different purposes so just trying to clarify
