Classroom movement integration in the EdTech era
This paper addresses the crucial challenge of physical inactivity in K–12 students within the rapidly evolving educational technology (EdTech) landscape by proposing the Dynamic Pipeline of Technology-Driven Movement Integration (MI) framework and its guiding protocol for the successful implementation of this framework. This novel framework strategically integrates technology with MI principles to create dynamic classrooms where physical activity…

The social and emotional climate and the physical environment components of the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model contribute to promoting a safe and nurturing learning environment in PK–12 schools. In this article, the authors review research on the social and emotional climate and the physical environment over the past decade. Recommendations for health and physical education (HPE) teachers to lead, promote, implement, and …
Fit to Teach
The purpose of this article is to share qualitative findings about a study that examined the factors that school leaders value when hiring physical education teachers. A second objective is to discuss the categories and themes that emerged through focus group interviews with school leaders, current PE teachers, recent physical education graduates, and Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) students. Finally, tips and suggestions are provided…
Staff Involvement and Family and Community Engagement
The staff involvement (SI) and family and community engagement (FCE) components of the CSPAP framework constitute the support system for program implementation and sustainability. These components embody the essence of the framework because they focus on the coordination and synergy needed for a successful program, and such attributes are the hallmark of multicomponent approaches to school-based health promotion. But what does it take to galvaniz…
Community Building
The purpose of this article is to highlight how a community partnership between a Northeastern U.S. university and a racially/socioeconomically diverse local elementary school (58.3% students on free/reduced lunch) impacted learners in both physical education programs. Based on the Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program model, community partnership can help support students to be physically active. This community partnership focused on ac…
Before‐School Physical Activity Program's Impact on Social and Emotional Learning
BACKGROUND: Despite the positive impact of social and emotional learning (SEL) on the emotional well-being of children, literature on physical activity engagement and SEL among this population has been limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine whether school students' SEL would improve after participation in a before-school physical activity program. METHODS: A total of 138 fourth and sixth grade students from 1 elementary scho…
Closing the Gap
In this article, circumstances surrounding and consequences resulting from teaching physical education during the COVID-19 pandemic will be discussed. Importantly, suggestions to teaching physical education in the event of returning to full in-person instruction post-pandemic will be provided
Recruiting for Our Future
The U.S. is in the midst of one of the worst teacher shortages in recent memory. While some students will naturally find their way into teaching, other qualified candidates may only need a little encouragement. The purpose of this editorial is to provide a few ideas for increasing recruitment efforts and helping students who show interest in HPE teaching careers connect with HPETE programs
Experiences of Preservice and In-Service Teachers in a Comprehensive School Physical Activity Infusion Curriculum
Considering the limited field experience offered for preservice teachers to competently prepare them to implement the Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) in schools, the purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of preservice and in-service teachers participating in a CSPAP infusion curriculum within a physical education teacher education program. Fourteen preservice teachers enrolled in an elementary physical educat…

It is the intent of this article to demonstrate how current research, which indicates the be…
Children’s Physical Activity Levels Following Participation in a Classroom-Based Physical Activity Curriculum
A classroom-based physical activity curriculum offers an opportunity for students to be active during the school day to combat declining physical activity levels among this population. The effects of classroom-based physical activity curriculum on children of different weight categories is relatively unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the differences in physical activity levels between male and female students, and betwe…
Classroom teachers’ experiences implementing a movement integration program
Integrating movement in academic classrooms
In the context of comprehensive and coordinated approaches to school health, academic classrooms have gained attention as a promising setting for increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary time among children. The aims of this paper are to review the rationale and knowledge base related to movement integration in academic classrooms, consider the practical applications of current knowledge to interventions and teacher education, and sugg…
