When pros consider getting certified or adding specialty certifications and then maintaining them, it’s valuable to have both a broader perspective and a personal interest.
Assess Anterior Pelvic Tilt in Class

As an instructor, therefore, you may have opportunities to identify and correct musculoskeletal deviations in students (while staying within your scope of practice).
Posture Correction for Static Damage

Very Short Stories For High School & Middle School
If your students are struggling to get into the short story, here are some very brief stories to get you started. They're not as short as Hemingway's famous six-word story (For sale: baby shoes, never worn.), but they're manageable even for reluctant readers. Most are under 2,000 words; I've included an approximate word count where I could. They're also a refreshing change for an avid reader who wants a break from longer works.
