Why Essential PE?

The physical education community is full of passionate, driven educators, and thankfully, it's also full of incredible resources. From blogs and webinars to conferences, social media groups, and professional networks, there’s no shortage of ways to grow. And the best part? Many of these opportunities are completely free.

But let’s face it: with so much out there, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. Like walking into a library without a map, you’re eager to learn, but short on time and pulled in a dozen directions. Between planning lessons, coaching teams, and taking care of yourself and your family, it’s hard to carve out space for professional growth.

That’s where Essential PE comes in.

We believe that high-quality professional development should be free and easy to access. Our mission is to gather the best blogs, articles, resources, and learning opportunities—and deliver them directly to you. No fluff. No cost. Just practical tools to help you grow at your own pace.

Subscribe to the Essential PE newsletter, and each edition will bring you handpicked content designed to inspire, support, and empower you in your teaching journey. Let us help you do what you do best—teach, lead, and make a difference.

Because when educators thrive, students do too. Ulitmately, the goal is to grow stronger together!
