Physical Education: Looking Good in and out of School

By. Craig Perrier

Like many schools across the United States, the system I work for has been experiencing elevated numbers of teacher absences and diminishing numbers of substitutes willing to step into our schools. To fill those needs we have been covering classes as time permits during the day. This month our physical education department experienced simultaneous sickness. In turn, I added to my repertoire and got a chance to teach in a classroom much different from the one I am used to.

Knowing I was going to be in a gym motivated me to take a look at my current state of athletic gear. On the negative side, there was some work to do. On the positive, side this was a great reason to go shopping! The Educators Marketplace is a great place to start! The shopping list includes what I added to my wardrobe and some additional inspirations for the school, home, or gym you belong to.
