Distinguished PE is excited to announce the launch of three, self-paced, graduate level courses! See below for more information on how to sign up.   This episode is part of the Back to School 2025 series, which is focused on setting a positive tone for the school year and building an inclusive culture in PE that provides meaningful experiences for all students from day one.    In this episode, Rhys and I discuss how to create co-agreements with students, examples of what they look like and the impact that they have on student behavior and class culture. We talk about incorporating student voice and the importance of clearly communicating expectations for transitions. We also get to the instructional side of things and discuss standards based content and language objectives and how to communicate them in student friendly language.   Connect with Rhys on X: rhysmeredith23 or via email: rmeredith@aisb.hu   Resources: Respect in PE Poster Class Agreements Poster Respectful Celebrating Poster   Distinguished PE has officially launched three new self-paced courses! You can take them for graduate-level credit, for hours toward renewing your teaching license, or simply for your own professional growth and reflection. Each course aligns with a chapter from Becoming a Distinguished Physical Education Teacher and provides opportunities for authentic, job-embedded learning: Promoting Equity and Inclusion in PE. High Expectations for Student Behavior Standards-Based Content and Language Objectives   You can earn three graduate-level credits for each course (nine total if you complete all three) through Colorado State University Pueblo, which can help teachers move over on their pay scale in many districts. If you’re looking for renewal hours, each one offers up to 100 hours toward your teaching license. To learn more or get registered, head over to www.distinguishedpe.com and click on Virtual Courses.
