About Murray
Murray Wallace teaches HS Health and PE online at LaunchEd in Colorado, with 20 years of experience, 14 of them in middle school PE before moving to his current online role. He loves being online because it allows him to get creative and innovative, and lets his students enjoy being physically active in their own way, at their own pace, and on their own schedule. Murray uses PLT4M to complement his program with customizable, appropriate workouts and routines that support the content he’s teaching.
Murray’s Approach & Insights
Murray shared his philosophy, approach, and how PLT4M plays a role in his program. Here’s what he had to say:
Goals & Mission
“My goal is for students to be healthily physically active for their lifetime. I want them to experience a variety of activities, understand the joy of movement, and know the benefits we gain from it — whatever success looks like for them.”
How I Use PLT4M
“PLT4M is a supporting resource and tool for instructing students in a variety of activities, supporting the cognitive discussions and content in my class. We use it for analysis of a variety of movements and fitness principles, and to get students being active no matter their situation or setting.”
Why I Use PLT4M
“PLT4M is customizable, appropriate, and easy to use. It allows me to complement my program by creating routines appropriate for my students and the content I might be focusing on. I love that the focus is always on technique and form.”
Impact on My Program
“PLT4M has enabled students to learn that being active isn’t as hard, or as expensive, as others might try to make it out to be. Many have taken workouts or exercises from workouts and used them in their own programs.”
Favorite Feature
“Customization to suit.”
