News Around the Nation

 

K-12 Dive

Teachers reported significantly more anxiety than even healthcare workers — not to mention office and other workers — during the pandemic, according to a report published Tuesday by the American Educational Research Association. Teachers were also slightly more likely to report depression and feelings of isolation compared to healthcare workers, according to the survey of 3 million employed people — including 130,000 teachers. According to the report’s authors, this study is the first to empirically assess teacher mental health during the pandemic using such a large national dataset.

Coaches and parents berate the refs and yell at their kids and each other. Physical assaults have broken out. Adults’ sideline behavior at youth sports events has gotten so bad, there’s a national referee shortage, not to mention it’s taken the fun out of the game. According to the National Federation of High School Associations, some 50,000 high school officials — about 20% — quit from 2018 to 2021. 

 

Physical Activity Alliance

The 2022 United States Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth was recently released along with report cards from 56 other countries. Children and youth around the world are not moving enough to promote healthy growth and development, and the COVID-19 pandemic only made matters worse. The report revealed that modern lifestyles — increases in digital screen time, the growing urbanization of communities, and the rise in automation of previously manual tasks — are contributing to a pervasive yet unequally distributed public health problem that must be recognized as a global priority. 

 

The Free Press

At the beginning of the school year, Mallory Stiff had no idea how to ride a skateboard. But after taking a course that included a skateboarding unit at Minnesota State University (MSU), she’s not only able to ride to class, but she’s also able to teach one about it as well. Through MSU’s Homeschool Physical Education Program, Stiff and fellow students studying physical education are able to apply what they’ve learned in a classroom to teach area elementary-aged students who are homeschooled. Ben Schwamberger, associate professor and coordinator of health and physical education programs at MSU, said the program benefits both university students and those who are homeschooled.
