The Distinguished Education community grew today with the release of our new book, Distinguished Music Education.

After nearly two years of work, my friend @amyfriedhaber and I are so excited to be able to share it with you ... and it's now available on Amazon!

PE friends ... if you've enjoyed Distinguished PE, whether the book, podcast, courses, or curriculum, can you share this post with a music teacher in your life?

Maybe you don't need an entire K-5 curriculum, but you want to make sure you get off on the right foot this year.

Check out the new "Start the Year Off Right" package, which includes Units 1-3 for both K-2 and 3-5.

Everything you need to set up routines and expectations for student behavior while building an inclusive and welcoming community in your gym.

And if you enjoy the first three units - which we know you will - you'll always have the option to purchase the rest of the curriculum.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and reach out with any questions ✌

There's still time to purchase the Distinguished PE K-5 Comprehensive Curriculum with a lifetime license! Get your copy now and receive access and updates for as long as you teach ... no one, three, or five year licenses to worry about having to factor into your future budget.

The curriculum includes detailed, scripted lesson plans, with both teacher and student dialogue.

Three assessment questions for each lesson, along with ideal student responses for each.

Rubrics to align student demonstrations and verbal responses to and a tracker to capture student progress and create grades for report cards.

There are also slides you can project in your gym that include visuals of activities, check for understanding questions, and sentence stems, in both English and Spanish, translated by a bi-lingual educator, not an AI bot ... so you can be sure they will be accurate for your students.

It's got everything you need to deliver the highest quality PE experience to your students. And you never have to plan another lesson!

Twelve units are included, with more to come in the near future, including some exciting collaborations with other amazing PE teachers.

Purchase now and receive a free copy of the book Distinguished Physical Education, along with a complimentary registration to our 26-27 Virtual Course, where you can learn alongside PE teachers from around the world.

You're not thinking about going back to school yet ... but if you were, what questions would you want to hear answered on an upcoming episode of the Distinguished Physical Education Podcast?

And which previous guest would you like to hear answer them?

I wanna talk to you about DPE and how it was the best professional development I’ve ever had a chance of being a part of. A year-long 50 hour credit, where I have built lasting connections, and added a lot to my teaching bag. If you have any questions about how to sign up or get involved, please let me know! And I can send you in the right direction! #thegametimeguys #peteachersoftiktok #teachertok #leadership #professionaldevelopment by @distinguishedpe
