Good evening. We would like to thank theWes-Del PTO for allowing us to present to you tonight. As young professionals we understand how important giving your child a quality education program is. To help complete this mission we feel we must advocate for our profession. We are Physical education teachers and we don’t teach gym. We teach your child to:
-be physically competent and literate
-value and enjoy physical activity
-socially appropriate skills
All of these skills help your child personally and educationally. They transfer to multiple areas and help your child be successful.
I am Miranda and these are my colleagues Tyler and Evan. We will all seniors and will be completing our degrees in 2017.

2. Mission Statement
“The mission of the Wes-Del Community Schools is to provide an appropriate educational program and learning environment which will effectively meet the educational needs of its students and citizens and help its students accomplish educational goals which are significant, durable and transferable.”
This mission statement goes along with what we want to talk to you about today. Making sure students are getting the most beneficial education that they can use in the future and transfer to other areas of their life.

3. Let’s start with a few ???? Interactive Poll Text to number: 22333
Text body: mirandakuehl003
Have to activate link
How many of your children participate in physical activity outside of school?
How much physical activity does your child participate in daily?
10-20
30-40
60 or more

4. Recommended amount of physical activity
60 minutes daily - moderate/vigorous
150 minutes of physical education (Elementary)
225 minutes of physical education (Middle/High)
This pyramid is similar to the food pyramid but it is for physical acitvity

5. Effects of Physical Activity on Brain - Linked with -
Blood flow
Growth of hippocampus
Learning & memory part of brain
Nerve connection development
Enhanced attention
Increased processing of information
Improved management skills
Improved attitudes
Linked with -
10-45 day study
60 minutes of physical activity daily
According to CDC, physical activity has a couple of different positive affects on the brain. It can increase blood flow, growth of the hippocampus, which is the learning & memory part of the brain. Physical activity also affects the nerve connection within the brain.
All of these positive effects from physical activities are linked to academic achievement in different ways. It is linked to enhancing attention span and increasing the processing of information for children. Along with those, it also improves management skills and attitudes of children.
Picture shows someone who exercised over period of time. The brain become bigger & stronger which increases it the memory & ability to learn

6. Physical Education & Academic Achievement
20% of curricular time for physical activity
More rapid learning
Moderate to Vigorous PA
Most effective on academic improvement
Quality & Quantity
Type of activity
Time spent
QUALITY Physical Education programming is our mission
Based on Roy Shepherds study, he found out that if students get (1st bullet point)
-retain information better & faster
-learning is more effective
If your child has 5 classes in a day, 1 of them should be physical education
Examples of Moderate to Vigorous
-Brisk walking, running, tennis, biking
Quality is demonstrating the type of activity that students are engaging in
Quantity means that time that students are spending doing physical activity
The overall meaning of quality and quantity is that most of the time if students have a quality physical education class they are going to get the amount of physical activity that they need, such as moderate to vigorous, which in turn increases academic achievement.
PIcture from napervill, IL & did research with students there & have research that pe can increase academic performance.

7. Physical Literacy
Physical literacy = ability, confidence & desire to be physically active for life
Competence V. Confidence
Similar to Math and Reading Literacy
Source: Shape America
Physical Literacy: An individual's ability, confidence and desire to be physically active for life.
is the ability to move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person.
As physical education professionals we target physical literacy development in our lessons and curriculum

8. Cross Curricular Learning
Aligned
Cooperative
Conceptual
Definition Source: Ben Johnson author of the article Deeper Learning: Why Cross Curricular Teaching is Essential
Definition: Cross curriculum involves working with educators from other departments to align curriculums so that knowledge, concepts, and tactics are aligned simultaneously in more than one class.
Aligned
Follow a similar path of educators in different departments.
Cooperative
Teaching at similar rates as other educators.
Conceptual
Using concepts learned in other subjects to assist students in your course.

9. Classroom-based Physical Activity
4th and 5th grade students
Compared exercise “brain” breaks versus sedentary class time
Aerobic Physical Activity??? (what does this mean?)
10+ minutes of physical activity are optimal for enhancing attention & potential learning outcomes
Maybe you have heard the buzz word “Brain Breaks” Classroom teachers integrating a physical movement “BREAK” from the sedentary class structure of sitting/working/listening
Researchers looked at best practice for PA time to enhance attention and focus
Acute Effects of Classroom Exercise Breaks on Executive Function and Math Performance: A Dose–Response Study
Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport

10. Physical Activity, Exercise, & Physical Education
We have discussed several key terms in our presentation thus far so I want to clarify these movement terms
COULD YOU provide a definition for RECESS?

11. Society of Health & Physical Educators Standards
SHAPE - National Standards & Grade Level Outcomes
Standards for planning and assessment
Guiding Physical Educators towards the desired outcomes for students
Importance of a licensed physical educator
How many of you were aware that our profession has National guidelines for your child’s learning in physical education?
Based upon grade level and competencies

12. The 5 National Standards
Standard 1: Competence in motor skills
Standard 2: Applies Knowledge
Standard 3: Maintain health-enhancing physical fitness
Standard 4: Personal & Social Behavior
Standard 5: Value of Physical Activity
SHAPE Standards

13. SHAPE of the Nation Statistics
Parents support:
92% - physical education requirements
54% - physical education as IMPORTANT as other academics
91% - more physical education in schools
However...
Only 1 out of 3 students get DAILY physical education
LESS than HALF of students receive physical education one or more days in an average school week

14. Take Aways Physical Activity & Academic Achievement
Cross Curricular Teaching/Learning
Physical Activity in the Classroom
Standards Based Physical Education
QUALITY PROGRAMMING is KEY!
We have provided you with much information this evening so we want to leave you with a few key points about our profession and our practice.
