At the Heart of HPE are LIVING SKILLS!

GIVING STUDENTS "HoPE" IN H&PE
I just realized that the word HOPE is part of H&PE...I just changed the "&"  to a to a heart (or lower case "o" with a heart in the middle)!  

My question as a health & physical educator is how do I educate my students to build hope and confidence in themselves?  How do I create a safe and productive learning environment that builds personal and interpersonal skills that can be transferred to other curriculum areas?  How will I integrate the Living Skills on a daily basis?  Well, character building is an important part of the H&PE curriculum...we as teachers can give students HoPE in H&PE!

When we observe our students' needs we can drive our daily planning through encouraging Living Skills.  Below, I created a model of how I envision Living Skills impacting my teaching of the H&PE Curriculum and incorporating a continual cycle of planning, acting, assessing, observing and moving through this cycle of teaching with Living Skills at the heart of my planning.

LIVING SKILLS:
Personal Skills
Interpersonal Skills
Critical Creative Thinking Skills
Living Skills Impacting HPE Curriculum and  TLCP cycle
At the heart of H&PE is Living Skills.  Every expectation in the Ontario Curriculum is connected to a Living Skill.  

How are you making Living Skills a part of your H&PE program?
