A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

The experiences students have in association to physical activity in any environment can stay with them for the rest of their lives. Research has shown that if it is a negative experience, it is more likely that the student will live an inactive lifestyle as an adult – and if it is positive, they will develop active and healthy, lifelong habits. I believe that we, as PE teachers, can make the positive difference for students – even those who have already developed a fixed mindset about their own physical abilities. Let’s start together in this one-day, highly practical seminar that will inspire you with 101 strategies to make the most of your PE program.

I developed this seminar for all PE teachers who are looking for innovative ways to create inclusive programs where students are actively participating at their own skill levels and are working together in fun and engaging ways. I will share dozens of lessons using music to motivate and manage students, ideas for adapting lessons to meet the needs of students with special needs, assessment tips, time and classroom management strategies, low-cost or free resources you won’t want to miss, positive play and cooperative activities to promote full inclusion, tips for teaching foundational gross motor skills, and much, much more!

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to participate in a high-energy seminar that encourages maximum participation in physical education for all students. You will leave with 101 strategies and activities you can use immediately in your physical education program.

Sincerely,
Carrie Flint

P.S. This is a “practical, doable solutions and strategies” seminar to help you make the most of your PE time with students.
