Thoughts on diversity in PE

Diversity in and of itself is a very broad topic. Diversity in PE can be cultural, gender, abilities, or attitudes. For me all of these aspects need to be thought of when you plan your lessons. Today we talked about the pros and cons  single gender classes. Religion plays a big role in the activities or how the activities are performed in class. This gives us a great opportunity to demonstrate tolerance and understanding. The attitude of the PE teacher sets the tone for the entire class. If the PE teacher has great classroom management and uses the different diversity aspects of the class he/she can give life lessons and teach things far beyond the realm of physical education.
