Participants will learn about and engage in several forms of reflective practice and begin to apply them to their own unique contexts.

In this session, I will take you through an entire dance unit. I will show you fun dance games like the beat challenge, dance tag, and follow-the leader that help students learn about rhythm, levels, pathways and force in dance.

This workshop will use the sport of cricket as the subject matter to teach creativity and discovery. Examples will range from simple skills through to more complex games.

This presentation will introduce the concepts and principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and how they can be embedded into your physical education program.

During this presentation, participants will learn about the skill sets to ice hockey through the experiences of floor hockey. Such skills to be explored are stick handling, passing, shooting, positions and small area games.

This session begins with the premise that 'thinking is the engine of learning' and explores how we can support game-based practical approaches with an environment, intentional questions, and purposeful interactional routines to enhance thinking

This presentation will be an inquiry-driven look into the essential elements of striking and fielding games.

The joy of learning through engagement is a key factor in student satisfaction in PE. As adults, we still look forward to ‘game-time’ where we pit our skills against others.

In this presentation, we will look at examples of how Health and Physical Education from K-10 and sport coaching ‘at the leading edge’ is responding to current challenges.

The evolving landscape of sport and physical activity settings calls for a re-examination of pedagogies and practices. More specifically, how to adequately address the needs of girls and women within physical education.

As building a culture of support and acceptance is our responsibility as educators, in this presentation I will examine some of the biases inherent in physical education and identify strategies that can promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In this session, we’ll be exploring resources and techniques to help promote body positivity in the classroom and on the field, while teaching students to view media messages with a critical eye.

This active workshop will give attendees the chance to broaden their knowledge in this area and allow them to participate in a range of practical and fun activities which the presenter has used in a variety of settings to enhance students' core strength and stability (as well as their own).

This workshop will present fun, alternative ball games/activities to still get your students moving and engaged but use no more than one half of a basketball court.

Are you a fan of gamification? Have you tried it before? Would you like to? Implementing gamified experiences into your projects, units and even your whole year can be done! We'll be talking about Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation as a way to reach our students learning styles.

Have you ever had students tell you that they wished they could play their favorite sports for more than just 3 months a year? Sports seasons have been around for so long that we hardly think that not only could we do it differently, but there are even strong educational reasons why we should, at least, start having this conversation with our communities.
