RESOURCES TO SHARE WITH PARENTS
RESOURCES FOR NEWSLETTERS, ADVOCACY VIDEOS, AND WEBSITES
It is important for physical education teachers to inform parents and administrators about the great things they are doing in their classes. Share what you do in your class, why it is important, and how they can support your efforts at home. These advocacy efforts can help garner support for your program from parents and administration if budget cuts become a threat.
