Tech-pack needs and challenges

We are responsible Not enough emphasis is being placed on physical education and health in our society In order to make up for this deficit, teachers of all content areas need to encourage physical activity and promote healthy living We need to educate ourselves in order to educate our students Make healthy choices, practice healthy living, and be a role model

Physical education & health education content knowledge Only teachers in the physical education and health education teachers are extremely knowledgeable in content standards for this area, compared to teachers in other content areas who are not. A challenge for all teachers in the area of physical and health teachers is to become more aware of the content standards in relevance to today’s young people. It is to the advantage of all educators to learn more about physical fitness and healthy behavior.

Strategies for improving tech-pack in physical education and health education Teachers should ask themselves three questions to help them move to their most optimized zone (the intersection of all three components) Do I have the physical education and health education content knowledge I need to assist my students in meeting the standards within my classroom? Do I have the pedagogical knowledge needed to teach the physical education and health content within my classroom? Do I have the technological knowledge needed to teach the physical education and health content within my classroom?
