Hey Olivia!

I really love how you’ve brought these frameworks together to create such a thorough explanation and a really balanced approach to how we could teach health and physical education. The idea of Universal Design for Learning really stands out to me as it makes such a difference when all students, no matter their abilities, have the chance to engage in ways that work for them. The flexibility, whether it’s through technology or letting students choose activities, helps them take ownership and stay motivated in the long run.

I also agree with your point about the BC Curriculum’s inquiry-based, student-centered learning. It’s not just about teaching students what to do, but helping them understand why it matters. This kind of learning encourages habits that stick with them well beyond school and hopefully leads to more self-driven learning as they grow.

And when it comes to physical literacy and Quality Daily Physical Education, I totally agree with your thoughts! Similar to what I mentioned in my response to Brooklyn, it’s about building confidence in movement, not just perfecting skills. Making physical education fun and accessible is key to helping students stay active for life and creating healthier communities overall.

Thanks for a great post!
