Common Mistakes PE Teachers Make (and How to Avoid Them)

Send us Fan Mail

What's up PE Nation!

Today I share the five critical mistakes PE teachers make based on my 14 years of experience teaching outdoor physical education in Florida, providing practical strategies to avoid these common pitfalls.

• Being inconsistent with rules, procedures, and consequences across different students or classes
• Treating PE as if it were recess rather than establishing clear classroom management
• Poor time management that wastes valuable instructional minutes
• Neglecting educational standards by implementing viral games without curriculum alignment
• Failing to prepare backup plans for unexpected disruptions like weather or facility issues
