Violin10/01/2023 90 Views

(3 minute Read)

When I study confidence, I always come away with two distinct themes and one troubling thought. First, it is obvious that confidence is important, so important that even when we are tricked into making it, we perform better (Vealey & Chase, 2008). Second, it is almost always described as a feeling (Burton & Raedeke, 2008; Vealey & Chase, 2008; Zinsser, Bunker, & Williams, 2010). The part that always troubled me was why we would leave something so important up to how we feel about it. After all, the only time confidence matters is when it is tested

Striving to be a Superhero Physical Education Teacher – PHE America

Violin09/01/2023 42 Views

What would the perfect physical education teacher do? Have you ever asked yourself this question? Who do you picture when you think of the perfect teacher? Maybe like me, you picture someone made up of a combination of all the great teachers you’ve ever met, all wrapped up into one incredible superhero package?

Superhero cape

Years ago, I fleetingly believed I was on top of the teaching game, perhaps even on my way toward superhero status, until I humbly learned the benchmark I was measuring myself against was outdated and missing major components. My students liked me and they loved physical education,

Concerns over columnist’s ‘advice’ on medical, mental health care

Violin09/01/2023 54 Views

By Richard H. Strauss and R. Hallie Strauss

People with medical and mental health care issues deserve treatment options and advice that are up-to-date, safe, evidence-based and compassionate. John Rosemond’s two recent articles provide none of that; instead, they contain false and harmful information and advice.

He wondered, “… do the risks justify bombarding a fetus with high intensity sound waves that several researchers have said might interfere with the

Forget video calls. How about chatting? Medical websites adapt to Ontario’s lower fees

Violin07/01/2023 50 Views

Ontario’s decision to lower the payments that doctors receive for one-off virtual fees has led a number of websites to start directly charging clients for virtual medical services.

One site is charging $75 up front for a virtual appointment with a doctor, and another is offering an optional subscription for enhanced medical care.
