Flip the Script: PE's Power Move

In this episode of Move With Purpose, Chris Meyer challenges the "busy, happy, sweaty" mindset and makes the case for designing physical education with intention. Using the backward design framework, she walks listeners through how to plan PE lessons, units, and full semesters by starting with the end in mind—clear outcomes, meaningful assessments, and purposeful learning experiences. From a step-by-step breakdown to a real-world basketball unit example (and a teaser of the Sport Education model), this episode is packed with practical strategies to help teachers move from activity-driven classes to learning-driven programs that truly impact students.
