📗 First off, what is belonging?
✨ It's the feeling that you are an important part of the systems you live in.
🧠 Belonging is a fundamental psychological need that is baked into our biology as human beings. When that need is fulfilled, we experience a whole range of benefits.

💯 Formative assessment increases the amount of learning that happens in your lessons & shrinks the gap between low- and high-achieving students
🧑🍳 But how can we bake it into our teaching?

⚾️ The lesson I'm about to walk you through is from my Striking & Fielding Games unit. I run this unit as part of my G6 #physed curriculum.
🎯 The unit is built around the following @SHAPE_America grade-level outcomes.

✅ A lot has been said about the power of #physed when trying to help students develop a sense of responsibility.
👉 But how do we intentionally go about this?

🧵 Here's a THREAD on the key teaching strategies of the Teaching Personal & Social Responsibility (TPSR) model! 👇
👀 First off, an overview of TPSR.
🎯 The purpose of TPSR is to help young people learn to take control of their own well-being and development, to be efficient in their social environment and to learn how to be sensitive and responsive to the wellbeing of others.
🎯 The purpose of TPSR is to help young people learn to take control of their own well-being and development, to be efficient in their social environment and to learn how to be sensitive and responsive to the wellbeing of others.
📈 The model is based on five levels of responsibility:
👍 Respect for others.
💪 Effort
🧭 Self-direction
🤝 Caring for others.
🚀 Transfer
🎯 The goal is to help students develop competence in levels 1-4 and then apply what they've learned outside of #physed.

I've been thinking a lot about equity and justice with my PE classes and I have to say, it's not necessarily an easy sell. We're just beginning to set up small sided team games where it's possible to win or lose, although I never keep score. #PhysEd A thread.🧵1/
The first hurdle is creating fair teams. It's a huge challenge but it's the lesson I'm prepared to take time for and one that needs loads of practice. There are no captains or picking teams. Still, students are mostly in charge of organizing themselves. 😮😬👍🏾2/
Social loyalties tend to be the enemy of efficient team organization. Buddies want to stay together, folks who are outside the dominant social circles are expected to file in and follow "recommendations" from the most vocal kids. 3/
One of my major projects, which I think has profound import for the field of #Physed, is to identify a CATEGORY, NAME, or LABEL for the WHAT & WHY of PE that is comprehensive enough to include a wide variety of modes of PE that is true to its name.
The field needs this!

1st let me clarify what I mean by “true to its name.” If we were to sit down & play legos all day in PE, would it be “Physical” “Education?”
No. It would be a possible mode, but it wouldn’t be sufficiently “physical” or “educational” enough.
OK. Let’s get to the labels…

OK. Let’s get to the labels…
Our subject already has a label, name, or category: It is “Physical” & it is “Education”
So the 1st thing to do is ask, does this name fit? Does it actually represent what we want our subject to do & be about? Are these labels comprehensive & clear enough?
Also, who is we?

Working with a group of upper elementary students today we had an unexpected conversation about equity and justice. We had just run a relay and the students begged to run it over again. One group suggested remixing the teams, the other group was uninterested. #PhysEd 1/
Can you guess who was who?
I spoke with the group that lost the first contest who also wanted to remix the teams. I observed that they were interested in change but the other group was not. I asked them why they thought that was. 2/

"They won." "They have an advantage."
Right, so what would make them want to keep their group the same?
"So they can keep their advantage." "So they can win again." 3/

THREAD: I was thrilled to present at #SHAPETampa last week! @ShapeAmerica’s national convention is the largest gathering of #healthed and #physed teachers in the country. I know not everyone could make it, so here is a recap of my presentation.
My session was scheduled at 8 a.m. on the first day of the convention, so I didn’t know if anyone would make it. I wore my #SEXEDU shirt from @AskGoody in tribute to @THEKINGDMC, who was presenting (and doing some Run-DMC classics) with @HHPHorg later that day.
I was coming from the West Coast, so this 8 a.m. session felt like 5 a.m. to me.
Luckily, the room filled up early with lots of energetic folks. Shout out to @MelanieLynch52 for helping me navigate some projector connection trouble!
