Classroom management can be tough for PE teachers, especially with regards to discipline. The gym can be a VERY chaotic place; It's crowded, it's noisy, and the energy levels are sky high. What do you do when your students just won't be calm & LISTEN? In this episode, I'm breaking down my favorite classroom management techniques for PE. This topic was the first one I ever presented on 10 years ago, and I'm bringing back that presentation (with some updates of course) for this year's IAHPERD convention in December. Speaking of IAHPERD, registration is now open!
