1. Quality Physical Education and Health into the 21 st Century AAHPERD/CDAAAHPERD/MOAHPERD Quality Physical Education and Health into the 21 st Century AAHPERD/CDAAAHPERD/MOAHPERD

2. Today’s Objectives: Begin and end on time Consider positive possibilities Participate and process Respect the needs and ideas of others Look for one "take away"

3. Why Quality Health and Physical Education Policy Change is Needed 65% of all U.S. citizens are obese or overweight. It is now a matter of national security. It could improve academic performance.

4. AAHPERD is Leading The Way AAHPERD (American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance) www.aahperd.org NASPE (National Association for Sport and Physical Education) AAHE (America Association for Health Education)

5. Research Based Quality Physical Education The latest research indicates that there is a need for more physical activity and physical education.

6. The Association Between School-Based Physical Activity, including Physical Education, and Academic Performance In April of 2010 an exciting new study was released by the CDC and other government health related departments. It was a review of relevant research articles related to physical activity and academic performance. 50 studies demonstrated 251 associations between physical activity and academic achievement, academic behavior, cognitive skills, and attitudes. http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/health_and_academic s/pdf/pa-pe_paper.pdf http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/health_and_academic s/pdf/pa-pe_paper.pdf

7. Four Areas of Physical Activity Measured 1.School-based physical education 2.Recess 3.Classroom physical activity 4.Extracurricular physical activity

8. School-Based Physical Education Studies Eleven of fourteen studies found one or more positive association between school- based physical education and improved academic performance.

9. Recess Studies All eight recess studies found one or more positive associations and indicators with cognitive skills, attitudes, academic behavior.

10. Classroom Physical Activity Studies Eight of the nine studies found positive associations between classroom-based physical activity, academic behavior and academic achievement.

11. Extracurricular Physical Activity Studies Examined the relationships between extracurricular physical activity and academic performance. One or more positive associations were found in students participating in activities. No negative associations were determined in any of the four areas of physical activity studied.

12. Implications for Change! Evidence indicates physical activity improves academic achievement. Improvements include grades and standardized test scores. Enhances concentration and attention. Improves classroom behavior.

13. Group Activity (Mixed Pair Share) Stand up, hand up & high five a partner. Introduce yourself. Each person will take turns sharing their physical education school experiences with 5 different people. One minute per person. Thank partner & sit back down when done.

14. “ Shape of the Nation Report 2010 ” No federal law requires physical education. No incentives for states or schools to offer physical education. States define guidelines and requirements. School districts are responsible for implementation. www.aahperd.org

15. “Shape of the Nation” Conclusions Quality Physical Education – Essential element in the formative growth of children. – Assures some degree of regular physical activity. – Creates framework of life skills which shape the whole person, encourage smart choices and influence a healthy lifestyle. QUALITY PHYSICAL EDUCATION is the BEST hope for improving the future shape & health of our nation.

16. NASPE and AHA Recommend Quality physical education be provided to all students as an integral part of K-12 education. Physical education be delivered by certified/licensed physical education teachers. Adequate time be provided: -150 minutes per week - elementary school - 225 minutes per week - middle and high school All states develop standards reflective of the NASPE standards of quality physical education. Set minimum standards for student achievement in quality physical education.

17. NASPE and AHA Recommend (continued) Meeting minimum standards in quality physical education is a requirement for high school graduation. Physical activities and other courses are not substitutes for quality physical education. Physical activity is incorporated into the school day. Parents monitor their children’s quality physical education progress and participation. Communities provide and promote the use of safe sidewalks, paths, trails and recreation facilities.

18. Brain Research Reports… Physical activity increases blood flow to the brain. Regular exercise helps with the transfer of information between neurons. Regular aerobic exercise helps in developing new brain cells.

22. What’s Happening in our Show-Me State? MOAHPERD Promotes Quality Health and Physical Education professional development workshops each spring in conjunction with DESE/RPDC/SW Center for Educational Excellence. Created A Position Statement on Physical Activity and Quality Health and Physical Education Programs Promotes Exemplary Program recognition. We feel that exemplary programs should be an outgrowth of quality programs.
