Join us to reimagine the pool as a place of curiosity, confidence, and lifelong aquatic learning – where students lead, teachers guide, and every lesson creates a ripple of positive impact.

This practical, one-day workshop led by Professor Shane Pill invites PE teachers from across Elementary, Middle, and High School to think about curriculum content as key concepts structured through a thematic curriculum design. Concept-based PE has been found to be more likely than conventional PE to promote out-of-school physical activity and to build the habit of mind to be active into the future.

Agency in Action is an immersive workshop for educators who want to deepen their understanding of how student agency can be fostered in meaningful and practical ways. Participants will observe a live lesson and engage in guided reflection and analysis to explore the teaching moves and learning conditions that make student agency visible in practice.

Teachers and coaches can immediately apply these concepts by designing activities that encourage students to explore various movement solutions, adapt to changing conditions, and prioritize successful outcomes over perfect technique.

This dynamic workshop helps educators understand the why and how of movement competence through practical, high‐yield fitness activities that unite and energize students from the start.

This keynote will highlight the critical role of health and physical education in advancing the health and well-being of individuals and society as a whole in the age of AI.

This is a one-stop starter kit for all physical educators interested in learning how to create a dance program or lead a dance unit.

Smashball is a Canadian-modified net wall game that represents the future of PE instruction for upper elementary and middle school students.
