The Effects of the Pandemic on Physical Education School-Aged Children – PHE America

The global pandemic has wreaked havoc on academics, classrooms, and physical education. There is no doubt physical education and the physical development of children during their developmental years were greatly affected by the pandemic. Physical education is a field in which physical distancing, wearing masks, and avoiding close contact is extremely difficult. The importance of physical education for a child’s social, emotional, and physical well-being has been shown for decades (Bailey, 2006). As the country slowly comes out of the pandemic restrictions, interest in how physical education classes were affected during a pandemic should be studied.

Become a Better Small Business Leader With These 3 Simple Steps

Opinions expressed by entrepreneur contributors are their own.

One of the biggest challenges that small business owners face is also the one biggest thing that will ensure their success: leadership.

A Practical Approach to Confidence – PHE America

(3 minute Read)

When I study confidence, I always come away with two distinct themes and one troubling thought. First, it is obvious that confidence is important, so important that even when we are tricked into making it, we perform better (Vealey & Chase, 2008). Second, it is almost always described as a feeling (Burton & Raedeke, 2008; Vealey & Chase, 2008; Zinsser, Bunker, & Williams, 2010). The part that always troubled me was why we would leave something so important up to how we feel about it. After all, the only time confidence matters is when it is tested

Striving to be a Superhero Physical Education Teacher – PHE America

What would the perfect physical education teacher do? Have you ever asked yourself this question? Who do you picture when you think of the perfect teacher? Maybe like me, you picture someone made up of a combination of all the great teachers you’ve ever met, all wrapped up into one incredible superhero package?

Years ago, I fleetingly believed I was on top of the teaching game, perhaps even on my way toward superhero status, until I humbly learned the benchmark I was measuring myself against was outdated and missing major components. My students liked me and they loved physical education,

How small businesses are fighting inflation and fear of a recession

Isabel Garcia Nevett is once again making adjustments to her business.

After navigating the pandemic and dealing with rising inflation, she’s now thinking about how her Miami-based chocolatier, Garcia Nevett Chocolates, can weather a possible recession.

With growth for her small business linked to corporate gift giving, she’s worried about cuts in spending.

“All those companies that we are hoping to do business with will be revising their budgets and won’t be doing as much, and that will affect us directly,” said Garcia Nevett, who owns the chocolatier with her sister, Susana Garcia Nevett.

To address these concerns, the sisters
