The Art, Science and Craft of Teaching Movement

Physical education, teaching movement is a craft. It is also an art and a science.

Great physical education cannot be accomplished by following some exact recipe. There are a few guide-books and instruction manuals for being a great physical educator and teacher but they often fail once presented with real-world students.

There is no secret formula or codified list of best practices that will guarantee the movement success of your students.

The craft of teaching movement is often quite messy. And it should be. It’s can also be confusing. And it should be.

You doubt your skills. You get frustrated. You get discouraged. And the process or improvement is super slow.

You (we) make a ton of mistakes and yet…that is the beauty of human movement and teaching.

You literally get to explore like a child again. Discovering and touching new environments for the first time in many moons. You get t experiment like a scientist and design like an engineer. You get to compose like a musician and create like an artist.

There’s honestly no point or place that you need to arrive to…As a Physical Creative you will always be exploring, you will always be designing and innovating. That’s what makes this movement journey so beautiful and rewarding.
