"Stranger Things": Connecting Education and the "Upside Down"!

Send us Fan Mail

Welcome to Hawkins PE Nation!

Today we turn fan joy into teaching fuel, using Stranger Things as a lens for building classroom culture, designing our own teaching genre, empowering teams, and fighting the daily “demogorgons.” A real-life tour from Detroit to Vecna’s house sets the stage for practical PE strategies and a call to legacy.

• building Hawkins as a strong, inclusive classroom culture
• blending genres to design a unique teaching program
• small-sided, game-centered learning with music and movement
• defining team roles inspired by the Hawkins crew
• practical team-building games that include every student
• strategies to fight exhaustion, disengagement, negativity and doubt
• reflecting on legacy and the impact we want to leave

Take care,

Dave/"Dustin"
