KRS 158.6453 calls for the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) to implement a process for reviewing all academic standards. The schedule calls for one or two content areas to be reviewed each year, and every six years after that on a rotating basis. This session will look at the process for standards review through the lens of the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Health Education and the KAS for Physical Education. The standards are tentatively scheduled to go before the Kentucky Board of Education (KBE) in June 2025.

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.

In the session secondary physical educators will explore a planning that is required for a successful 60 to 80 minute block plan in PE. Topics include Meaningful PE and the SHAPE America National PE Standards

The Assessment of Physical Activity class at CU takes students through an experiential learning opportunity throughout the entirety of the class. In this class, students design assessment plans based on their respective interests and future career goals. They will find participants for their study, go through the IRB process, develop and implement a baseline assessment, collect results, create goals based on those results, develop and implement formative assessments throughout the project, collect data, and report results. At the conclusion of the project they have a paper they have worked on throughout the term and will design posters to present at a student-led research fair at the end of the term. Students' experiences in this class range from assessment motor skills, manipulative skills, health-related fitness, and sport-related fitness skills.

This presentation explores how Fitts and Posner’s (1967) motor learning theory—defining skill acquisition through cognitive, associative, and autonomous phases—can be adapted to enrich sport management education. Given the need for leadership, collaboration, decision-making, and problem-solving skills in sport management careers, this proposal argues that experiential learning strategies, particularly project-based learning (PBL), bridge the gap between classroom instruction and professional competencies.
