Capitalizing on Opportunities to Promote PE and CSPAPs
Presenters: Dr. Jenny Linker and Dr. Kristen Ford
COVID has exacerbated the need for ALL children to have opportunities to engage in motor skill development and physical activity. Presenters will share multiple ways to maximize current opportunities in our schools to encourage children to partake in at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day! Advocating for PE and physical activity using terminology associated with whole-child approaches, MTTSS, and SEL will be emphasized.
Standards-based Grading Made Easy
Presenter: Dr. Jenny Linker
Participants will become familiar with the overall concept of standards-based grading and its advantages over other grading practices.
