Participants will strategize, devise and plan multiple ways to engage students to commit to their learning from the first 5 minutes to the first 5 days — and throughout a 5-month semester. This session will encourage participants to examine multiple ways to interact with students, discovering opportunities to show students that risk-taking is rewarded and failure is not punished.
Engaged students will be on task, eagerly explore content and have fewer discipline issues. This session will explore KAGAN structures as well as teacher-tested tech to help your students be 100% engaged!
This webinar will share the results from the first year of a three-year Ohio project to assist schools in developing a system of supports to meet the needs of the whole child, enhancing drug prevention efforts and mental/emotional health. Districts participated in five sessions over the course of the school year to create Whole Child Advisory Councils to address substance abuse, mental/emotional health, and supports for students and educators. We will share the project research, including current school activities and priorities, as well as perspectives, experiences and outcomes from the first year.

This webinar will offer a critical examination of the primary focus of physical education. With regard to meeting the current and future needs of all of our students, we will discuss a paradigm shift to a more holistic approach that centers on wellness. We will examine the value of prioritizing a comprehensive understanding of the positive impacts of exercise and physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and social interaction.
The tips and strategies presented in this webinar will help teachers reduce classroom challenges and keep their cool when the "going gets rough." You can be the best content instructor, but without the ability to control the classroom the best lesson ideas will remain undelivered. Participants will learn how to avoid the "debate bait" and eliminate warnings and multiple requests, as well as how to decrease discipline challenges, gain parental support, and feel empowered.

Teaching Creative Dance to K-2 Children
Physical education teachers (K-2) will learn new ways to teach dance to their students which go beyond the typical dances that students already know. Creative dance is a popular method of dance among children because it promotes self-expression and encourages thinking and creativity. Educators will learn how to use imagery, Merce Cunningham’s method of chance, and equipment to create their own dance to teach to their students and then assess their creativity.
Adventure Racing Activities for Assessment
Adventure Racing CORE (a Cooperative Obstacle Racing Experience) uses the basic ideas of adventure racing and can be done at any school without expensive equipment.

Learn about this fun way for students to learn skills and knowledge while getting physically fit and using teamwork. Participants will also learn how to use this unique lesson format for assessment purposes. Presented by the 2019 National High School Physical Education Teacher of the Year.
