What’s the Purpose?
The goal with this site has always been to inspire PE Teachers and make a positive impact on the students that are in PhysEd Classes all over the world. We’ve strived to make the free content we offer better than most of the paid content that we’ve seen out there on the web. We hope that you’ve benefited from the massive amount of free stuff we put out on a regular basis. If you’re new to the site – go check out some of the free blog posts we’ve published over the last few years, we think you’ll find them super valuable.
Our goal with the PE Specialist Membership is to create the ultimate resource that we wish we could’ve had when we started our teaching career. We want to provide a practical resource to teachers that need some fresh ideas, lesson and unit examples, a little guidance and a creative boost to take thier teaching to the next level. We know that the average teacher doesn’t have the time or resources to hire designers, spend hours creating diagrams or set up green screen videos and convert them to GIF slideshows, so we do all the heavy lifting and create the resources you’ve always wished you had to save you time while helping you plan AMAZING lessons for your students. The membership is a 24 hour library, it’s always there when you need it and it has everything you need to assist you in becoming the Superstar Phys Ed Teacher that we know you can be. If you need some guidance or want some feedback our community forums will be there to assist!
How Much Does it Cost?
We offer a yearly membership for $249 USD. This gives you access to all downloads, trainings, tutorials and support through the community forums.
We also provide a 10% Discount on your 2nd year of membership when your renewal goes through.
Currently, we only want people who are committed to the community for the long term and are willing to invest in their learning and growth for at least 1 year. We also feel that the price is a great value for what you are getting as a member (it’s less than 70 cents a day and it will save you a TON of time).
Not only will this membership will save you time, but it will help you grow as an educator and make you a better teacher.
How To Pitch it to Your Administration?
One important part of our job as Phys Ed teachers is to advocate for our programs. If I didn’t petition my administration and PTO or write grants for things that were above and beyond my “PE Budget” I wouldn’t have my iPod, iPads, stereo, TV, rock wall, wireless mic and a whole host of other things that have helped to make me a more effective educator and impact my students in a more positive way.
Also, remember when you make the ask for this membership (or anything really). Instead of asking “Can I have this”, tell them “This is why I need this, and this is how it will positively impact students”. Below are a few ideas.
Here’s a few reasons to bring up if your asking your school administration to support you by purchasing this membership:
- As the only PE Teacher you can be at a disadvantage compared to many other teachers in the school who have teachers to brainstorm with that specialize and teach in the same subject area. This will provide a collaborative community of like minded educators.
- Having access to the member resources will enable you to become a more effective teacher and a more valuable asset to the school
- By becoming a more effective educator, you will improve the outcomes of your students
- It’s cheaper than many other professional development options like courses and conferences and comes with a year of support through the community membership forums
- With the help of the unit samples and lesson plans you will be able to turn more of your attention and energy towards teaching your kids, instead of always worrying about what you’re doing next week.
- When they say yes, you can sign up below with a school credit card, or submit a Purchase Order by Clicking Here
Becoming a member will you save a ton of time, allow you to have more fun in your teaching and of course have a bigger impact on the students that you teach every day.
