Newark PE teacher adjusts to online instruction
Wayne Post
COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions have changed the way most teachers provide instruction, whether students are learning in-school or at home.
Perkins School physical education teacher Sue Moak is no exception.
After the shutdown in March, she started teaching students remotely using Seesaw software and worked to provide fun and interesting videos, some starring herself, to keep her students healthy and fit.
Moak’s duties have changed since school reopened in September, but her determination to keep at-home learners engaged has not. In fact, her efforts have doubled.
Along with teaching PE classes to first graders at Perkins each morning, she’s tasked with providing PE to the 114 remote learners at Perkins and Lincoln schools. Chris Hager and Stephen Todaro are providing the in-person PE instruction at Perkins and Lincoln, respectively.
