Discover how to rejuvenate your reflective practice with the 2022 SHAPE America National Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year. Let's get pumped for a new year of being the best we can be!
In this session, you’ll learn to identify what you value — and how those values reflect your impact as a PE teacher or adapted PE teacher. You’ll also discover tools to help you get through the ups and downs of teaching. Many of us had a hard year and are teaching from empty buckets. Using these tools, you’ll be able to use your story to see how you’ve made an impact — and find ways to work through the hard seasons and refill your empty bucket.
Grab your favorite beverage and “huddle up” with a small group of your peers and colleagues. You’ll have the opportunity to share ideas for addressing teaching challenges, share motivations and successes, and set the tone for a great school year ahead.
Attendees will have the option to join a group based on the grade level they teach to discuss the following topics:
Groups: Elementary, Middle, High School
Attendees will engage in conversation with members of the SHAPE America Board of Directors on the topic of EDI and how to advance both SHAPE America and the profession.
In this session, 2017 National Health Education Teacher of the Year Andy Milne will share his reflections, experiences, and lessons learned during the 2022 school year, which was one of the most challenging of his teaching career. Hear how those challenges forced him to work intentionally at investing time in himself — and how the gift of injury and extended absence away from school motivated him to plan his #selfcaresessions.
Learn a variety of strategies to empower students by creating a culturally inclusive classroom. Join 2022 SHAPE America National Middle and High School Physical Education Teachers of the Year as they share insights into how they currently do this in their classrooms. Everyone who joins will walk away with different ways to frame lessons and connect with students, as well as activities to engage students and promote a more culturally inclusive learning environment.
Are you looking for practical strategies to use to leverage relationships within teaching to help you succeed in the classroom? In this session, participants will reflect on current and prior relationships, identify ways to renew previous and develop new relationships, and will walk away ready to restart the 2022-2023 school year focusing on the most important thing in the world, the people.
Discuss and brainstorm ideas about how to get (and keep) students engaged and excited throughout the school year.
Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is a top priority for SHAPE America. Come discuss current issues related to EDI in health and physical education and ways to address the issues in your day-to-day work.
Open discussion about current trends in physical education, the future of PE, and what teachers have planned for the new year.
Open discussion about current trends in health education, the future of HE, and what teachers have planned for the new year.

During this session, teachers will learn ways they can begin to break their cycle of burnout by practicing self-care that takes them far beyond the comforts of bubble baths, yoga, and chocolate. Administrators and teachers will discover simple, actionable changes they can make immediately to grow through their burnout and become happier, more fulfilled people. Teachers and administrators will also leave this session knowing what they can do to make progress in their personal and professional lives in order to grow through their burnout, thus creating more supported and engaged classrooms.
