The First 7 Days: Creating Positive Relationships
High school students need to engage in getting-to-know-each-other activities during the first week of school. By incorporating these activities into your first week while you discuss rules and expectations, you will create a high level of comfort and begin forging relationships that will make your classroom successful for the rest of the year. Please join me in discovering instant activities to build positive relationships within your class.
By the end of the session participants will
Leave with instant activities to use during the first few weeks of class.
Create an environment of respect and rapport.

Fitness Testing done easy! Come to this session to learn how to make fitness testing a snap. We will be demonstrating out we test our students and setup a individual workout plan for each student. We will be featuring IHT Spirit software on how this software has made our fitness testing effective and efficient!

The Center for Disease Control recommends that every physical education session offer opportunities for students to sustain moderate to vigorous physical activity at least 50% of the class time. Using the P.A.C.E.R. Test and heart rate monitors, physical educators can individualize the MVPA zones for students. The session content describes this process which may be used for objective assessment for students and teachers.

While we are all excited about the direction of the new Physical Education standards, many of us are running into the same road block: our current course descriptions. Changing course descriptions can be a years-long process in many districts, making it impossible to add, remove, or change courses as needed to make sure all students meet the new standards.

The solution? Think outside of the box to incorporate the standards into your district's current curriculum! 

In this session, you will learn tips and tricks for activities, lessons, and assessments that can be utilized in a variety of courses (including the team sports model that is popular with many students). Some of the topics that will be covered are Dance (for those of us who are not dance experts!), Nutrition, Fitness Concepts, Developing Practice Plans, Fitness Portfolios, and Creating Meaningful Choice Time for students.
