A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

The primary goal of a physical education program should be to prepare students to lead a physically active lifestyle. In order for that goal to be accomplished, the discipline of physical education has evolved from being one where the learning of sports is the primary focus to one where sport activity is the vehicle by which students learn important concepts about physical activity. The experience that students have in association to physical activity in any environment (PE or recreational) will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Research has shown that if it is a negative experience, the individual will most likely live an unhealthy lifestyle as an adult.

As the discipline of physical education makes this shift in focus, the content and teaching methods of the discipline are also evolving. Standards-based instruction provides physical educators the opportunity to make changes in their program that will meet the interests and needs of today's students.

My goal is to provide you with practical strategies and ideas for making your physical education program the best it can be.

You'll leave this seminar with teaching strategies, motivational techniques, assessment methods, and a renewed commitment to the physical education profession.

Sincerely,
Carrie Flint

P.S. This is not a "bells and whistles" seminar, but rather a "practical, doable solutions and strategies" seminar to make your physical education program the best it can be.
