Ask me anything

I’ve been in the education field for 11 years as a physical education and health teacher.

I’ve worked with students from 3K through 12th grade. I’ve worked in both private and public education across NY and CT. I’ve coached high school student-athletes on the wrestling mat, baseball field, and volleyball court. I’ve also been a house parent to international students from all over the world.

And over those 11 years, I’ve learned a lot — some through great mentors and experiences, and plenty through making mistakes and figuring things out the hard way.

I listened to a podcast today that got me thinking about how much knowledge and experience we all accumulate without ever really sharing it with the people who could benefit from it.

So I want to change that.

If you’re a new PE or health teacher, a college student getting ready to enter the profession, a coach, or even an experienced teacher looking for another perspective — ask me something.

Lesson planning. Classroom management. PE activities. Health curriculum. Coaching. Working with difficult students. Building relationships. Surviving your first year. Burnout. Technology in education. Things I wish I knew when I started.

Whatever.

Drop a question in the comments or send me a message. If I have experience with it, I’ll give you the best answer I can. No course. No sales pitch. No gatekeeping.

And if I don’t know the answer, I’ll tell you that too.

I’d like to start using this page for more than just posting what I’m working on. I want to share some of the things 11 years in education have taught me and hopefully make someone else’s job a little easier.

Teachers: what’s one thing you’re struggling with right now that you wish you could ask another educator?

How to edit visual aids in WellnOS

The overwhelming majority of comments related to the resources I have been posting has been very positive! But that does not mean that they are the perfect teacher tool and that is what I'm striving for.

One concern that came up several times was that there are too many words on the visual aid. I wanted to demonstrate the ability to quickly edit visual aids on WellnOS.

Want less text? Delete the text and the text box goes with it

Made a mistake? Press the undo or redo arrow and you're all good

Image is too small? Press the A+ sign to make it larger

Don't like the image? Type in what you want to see in the text field below the image, then click regenerate (↺)

Let me know if these are helpful edits or if you are looking for additional features!

Visual Aids - Skill Breakdown for Volleyball Bump Pass

A gym poster is not useful if students need to stand two feet away and read a paragraph.

Here is a quick look at the WellnOS Visual Aid Creator. The goal is simple: clear cues, age-appropriate language and visuals that can actually support instruction.

Would you use something like this in your gymnasium or classroom?

WellnOS - Rubric Bank Feature

Rubrics should speed up feedback, not create another paperwork problem.

The WellnOS Rubric Builder helps teachers create age-appropriate criteria and performance levels in 10 seconds with the ability to edit every field. Teachers can adjust the scale, add a student checklist with saved rosters, and score directly on a phone or other device. It also creates Student Self-Assessments and Peer Assessments.

The AI provides the starting structure. The teacher decides what quality looks like. Here is a demo video of the functionality.

Comment a feature for a future live example!

WellnOS Lesson Plan Generator Demo

A lesson generator is only useful if the result feels teachable.

WellnOS uses the information a teacher provides: grade, activity, time, equipment, standards and student needs—to create an editable lesson with objectives, success criteria, learning activities, assessment and supporting materials.

This is meant to accelerate professional planning, not replace it. The teacher stays in control of every field and gets to focus on what they love.. TEACHING!

You can skip from .14 - .31 of the video, it took 17 seconds to generate this national and state standard aligned lesson. I remember spending hours during my student teaching semester writing lessons, making assessments, and coming up with resources. That's why I made WellnOS, to give PE and Health teachers back their precious time. I'll attach 2 sample resources as well in the comments, I cannot attach it to the original post.

Let me know your thoughts!

WellnOS - A Physical / Health Education operating system

One lesson from building WellnOS: a feature can technically work and still not be useful enough for a teacher.

I have rebuilt pieces of the platform after looking at the output through a teacher's eyes: Is it clear? Is it editable? Is it age appropriate? Would I actually use this tomorrow?

The goal is not to generate more content. The goal is to produce better starting points that save teachers time without taking away their judgment. That is why I steered in the direction of giving full control to the teachers and not selling a pre-packaged set of lessons. Here is a few images of the UI. Let me know your thoughts or questions you may have!
