Readers are encouraged to send “Educator's Corner” submissions to Strategies Editor at [email protected].

The purpose of the Educator's Corner column is to feature short articles about one specific, practical teaching lesson that practitioners at the K–12 level can immediately implement in their classroom. Articles focus on either health or physical education and contain a brief introduction, followed by very practical, quick-hitting information such as bullet points or lists. Submissions should not exceed 1,000 –1,500 words (or roughly four typed, double-spaced pages).
