The idea of PE Central originally began in the Fall of 1995 by Dr. George Graham and the doctoral students in Virginia Tech's Health and Physical Education Program. After participating in several brainstorming sessions during this seminar it was decided that we would develop a Website that would be available on the Internet. Primarily, we wanted a place for K-12 physical educators to visit that would provide them with information and resources to help them deliver developmentally and instructionally appropriate physical education to their students. Some ideas to include on the site were assessments, health and physical education lesson ideas, job announcements, links to the top sport and instructional sites on the Web, wellness tips, and instant activities that would change on a weekly basis. Their goal is to provide the latest information about developmentally appropriate physical education programs for children. They not only help students, but teachers, parents as well. They have everything you can ask for from lesson plans, to technology, to even job searches for teachers and coaches.
Here is a picture of their weekly Bulletin Board.
They even have a weekly Kids Quote of the week. Here is this week:
In PE classes, I asked, "How many of you have been on a soccer team?" A 4th grade girl yells out, " I was, I played quarterback."
