The Professional Responsibilities resources are designed to provide OPEN members with resources focused on communicating with families and community members, and growing and developing professionally. Like all OPENPhysEd.org resources, these resources are meant to be guiding models to best meet the needs of your professional path. OPEN contributors and national trainers continue to work hard to provide our members with tools to elevate the physical education profession and help guide your personal professional growth pathway.
