Description:

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.

Description:

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. By using teamwork, problem solving skills and fitness, teams read and follow a task sheet to make their way through an obstacle course to the finish line. 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.

Presenters will provide suggestions for implementation of remote learning and face-to-face programs and provide evidence showing CPE’s effectiveness in meeting the overarching goals of physical education and physical literacy.

Sprinkle fun, electric, dance, and rhythm-based activities into your curriculum.

Individuals who interact with youth in school settings are encouraged to attend.
