In this episode, I’m joined by Brian Crane, a veteran PE teacher with over 20 years of experience across elementary, middle, and high school levels. Brian currently teaches at East Valley Academy in the Mesa School District and brings a wealth of practical wisdom, humor, and heart to the conversation.

We discuss:

  • Communicating clear expectations for student behavior

  • Creating and reinforcing class rules

  • Building mutually respectful relationships with students

  • Reducing student anxiety in PE

  • Planning for the first week of school

  • Setting boundaries around cell phone use

  • The benefits of small-sided modified activities

  • Motivation strategies for secondary students

  • Effective end-of-class routines

Brian shares actionable advice and reflections from two decades in the field — a must-listen for any secondary PE teacher preparing for the year ahead.

Secure your spot for the 2025-2026 DPE Virtual Book Study, facilitated by Gary Zaharatos and Jen Smith. Buy tickets here! Feel free to email [email protected] for group discounts or any questions.

My new book, Becoming a Distinguished Physical Education Teacher, is available on Amazon.
