1. Pennsylvania State Convention - November 13, 2010 How we incorporated adventure education principles throughout our lifetime activity / fitness based curriculum.

2. What I’ve Learned Travels and visitations from the PEP Grant and curriculum review. o Neshaminy, PA - Fox Chapel, PA - West Babylon, NY - Titusville, PA – Naperville, IL Passionate leaders make the difference: o Phil Lawler, Tim McCord, Bob Miller, Lynn Leicht, Diane Shenot, Claudia Hickley $$ is not the solution. You are! Stop asking if the glass is half full or half empty. Instead ask "What's in it? How did it get there? What can I do with it? David Kaufman

3. Viewpoints Creating an Attitude Others perspectives; o Parents o Administrators o Teachers Who is our biggest problem? o Questioning Phil What do we “GET TO DO TODAY” vs. What do we “HAVE TO DO TODAY”

4. Stretching Ourselves 90% of learning occurs in the stretch zone In traditional physical Education most students are either in their comfort zone or panic zone. If you expect kids to stretch themselves you must lead by example This is what we “GET TO DO”!

5. Why is PE Important? People need to understand; Health related fitness impacts their/our personal quality of life (star athlete example) Their/Our health impacts our whole society Their/Our level of fitness has changed, can change, and will change based on your actions, NOW is the time to take control of your life

6. Physical Education Curriculum, Guiding Objectives: All students will be lifelong learners, to facilitate this we (teachers) need to address why each curriculum unit is presented and how to extend participation beyond the class. All curriculum units presented will be lifetime in nature and emphasis physical fitness. We will attempt to expose students to many different activities. Every student may not enjoy every activity but if each student finds a few activities to participate in for a lifetime we have accomplished our number one goal.

7. Course Highlights Use video for: Open House Parent Advisory Groups Move Up Days This is what we “GET TO DO”!

9. Class Expectations (full value contract) To get the FULL VALUE out of the class we ask that you; 1. Be here. Be present mentally, physically, emotionally. Honor the commitment of the others in your group by giving fully of yourself. 2. Be Safe. Create a level of safety so that people are able to relax and feel comfortable. Each member has a responsibility to point out any issues or concerns that may affect this safe environment. 3. Speak the truth. Share your thoughts openly with honesty and integrity. 4. Pay attention. Listen to what others say and focus on their ideas. Minimize distractions. 5. Be open to outcomes. Try not to prejudge what is happening. Recognize your preconceived notions about what you will learn or experience.

10. What Can You Add? FUN: Stress that fun can come from a sense of satisfaction not just goofing around PASSION: Share with your students why fitness and the activities that you teach are important in everyday life through example and stories (biking to Niagara) INITIATIVE: Do not listen to those who say no! Change what you have control over, your class (principals example 15%, 80%, 5%) CONNECT: Get involved, PSAHPERD, local AHPERD, PE4Life, Action for Healthy Kids BE A ROLE MODEL: Practice what you preach, you don’t have to be the best. CREATE WIN/WIN PARTNERSHIPS: business, other schools, university

16. WHY? BENEFITS FROM RUNNING Strengthens the heart, lungs and cardiovascular system. Increases heart size = a stronger heart to pump more blood to the body. YOU WILL Increase the amount of capillaries coming off of the arteries. This will equal more blood to the muscle which carries oxygen and energy (food). This will result in better performance and less cramping. Decrease in resting and exercise heart rate. The heart is stronger and has to pump less to get blood with oxygen and nutrients to the whole body. best exercise for burning calories and controlling your weight. prevents diseases such as heart disease, obesity and diabetes. gets rid of stress. energizes the body. you get more oxygen to the brain and think clearer. This can equal better grades. sleep better because you are tired from exercising. self confidence- feel and look better.

17. F.I.T.T. PRINCIPLE FREQUENCY - 5-6 Days a Week. Take a day or two off to recover. INTENSITY - The harder you go, the more cardiovascular and calories you burn.

29. THE MASTER IN THE ART OF LIVING The master in the art of living makes little distinction between: their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which. They simply pursue their vision of excellence in whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. In their mind, they are always doing both. This is what WE “GET TO DO”!
