Get ready to dive into the 2024 SHAPE America Physical Education Standards with two dynamic SHAPE America Trainers of Teachers (ToTs)! This fast-paced, engaging session will provide you with practical strategies and resources to seamlessly integrate the new standards into your teaching.

This session will take a deep dive into different running programs such as New York Road Runners and Marathon Kids. It will talk about the different incentives (for both students and organizations), opportunities, as well as curriculum/activities used through New York Road Runners. It is a free K-12 health and wellness program. My school was recognized as a top 5% in the Nation New York Road Runners Program. Participants will also participate in many NYRR physical activities/programming. I will also talk a lot about the opportunities with the Marathon Kids programming. They now have a free run tracking program as well as many lessons/curriculum. With the free run tracking program, it gives great data to have conversation on goal setting and becoming the best you in regards to health, running, and long term athletic development. I utilized the new Girls Movement Program which is a new initiative establishing running clubs tailored exclusively for 4th through 8th grade girls as they navigate the crucial transition through middle school. I will take participants through a lesson that builds community through teambuilding, pacing, athletic activity, and SEL. This character building program can be adapted and used with more than just 4th - 8th grade and not only for females. In addition to these free programs, I will also share the 100 Mile Club, AMPED as well as different running resources I have used over the years in the school setting.

Our dynamic workshop is specially designed to bring excitement and engagement to physical education for medium to large class sizes. Central to our philosophy is the belief that learning should be fun, so we focus on games that promote constant movement, laughter, and enjoyment. Participants will be actively involved in a variety of games that encourage teamwork and foster both individual prowess and group coordination. These activities are crafted not only to keep the energy high but also to build valuable life skills such as eye-hand and eye-foot coordination. Each game and exercise is carefully selected to align with state educational standards, ensuring that our fun-filled approach to learning also achieves meaningful educational outcomes. In our commitment to innovative teaching, we incorporate fitness tracking technology by utilizing the Heart Zone Move program. This cutting-edge tech enables us to assess and motivate students, providing immediate feedback on their fitness levels and progress. By joining our workshop, educators and students alike will step into a workshop where physical education is redefined. We merge active play with scholastic excellence, ensuring that students don't just engage in physical activity but also understand the value and joy of staying active and working together.

During this activity session, participants will engage in a variety of cooperative physical activities utilizing easily accessible materials and equipment (lots of use of noodles and balloons). Session participants will explore various ways to manipulate noodles, balloons, and foam coated balls through cooperative learning physical activities. Presented activities are designed to be delivered in a way that is very friendly to learners of various abilities. For example, use of visual aids and brief verbal instructions to help make learning more comprehensible for multilingual learners. Aspects of the meaningful physical education framework will be explored by seeking out the appropriate level of challenge for certain activities. Formative assessment and reflection opportunities via Kagan learning structures will demonstrate how to provide all students to simultaneously engage in meaningful use of listening and speaking skills. All presented activities will be aligned to the 2024 national physical education standards.

My goal is to always keep students active. So, I came up with games/activities to do just that in a classroom setting! I will have 2 different set-ups to show you, one for K-1st/2nd and one for 1st/2nd-6th grades. K-1st/2nd will be set-up for whole group situations. Set-ups will be presented for knowing in advance that you lost your gym and spur of the moment losing your gym. Hope to see you in this session!
