Key Concepts and Teaching Materials from 'Stand Tall and Move Easy'
Presenter: Joanna Farmer
Target Audience: Grades 10-12, Post-secondary focus
Strand: Quality Physical Education
Language: English
This session presents posture as a basic fitness component and means to better physical performance. Attendees will be introduced to teaching materials to help students improve their posture through: knowledge of simple anatomy, awareness of muscle tension and joint discomfort, self-assessment, general exercise to develop stability and mobility, written reflection to identify the factors affecting their posture, assessment of personal lifestyle habits and the development of a personal plan for better posture. Attendees will be introduced to and practice standing, sitting and walking tall. They will experience muscle tension/relaxation and joint discomfort/comfort associated with posture. They will be given the basic quick-fix for posture improvement, an updated vocabulary to discuss posture, and a model for teaching fitness and sport through posture concepts. They will be given a computer link to access the posture assessment and/or to obtain a copy of the book.
A key posture concept is that perfect bodies are rare and that with the right knowledge and tools, students can improve their posture and maximize their athletic performance. Terry Fox and Usain Bolt are examples of elite athletes who overcame their alignment challenges. With posture education students can be empowered to reach their goals.
Riding a Bike Is a Life Skill - Let’s Teach It in Schools
Presenter: Laura Shutiak
Target Audience: Grades 7-12 focus
Strand: Quality Physical Education
Language: English
Laura will start by sharing data from Calgary schools that shows 10 % of students say they have Never been on a bike, and at some schools, only 45% even have bikes. Most schools have old, tire-bender racks that don't allow locking. How can we encourage active travel to school when students face so many barriers? Laura will share how Youth en Route has been able to increase ridership - up to 800% at some schools - in just a few months with simple solutions, including getting kids on bikes in classes. YER's innovations include re-designing the school bike rack to make it functional - and getting high school welding classes to do the work. We've also created Lock Libraries at schools, so kids who can't afford a good lock, or don't want to lug it around, can access a lock at school. If we want youth to choose active, sustainable modes of travel, we need to help empower and encourage them, with skills, confidence and tools.

Physical Education and Its Complex Puzzle of Diversity
Presenters: Sarah Adams, Dr Alison Murray (virtually), Public School Board PEI (Prince Edward Island)
Target Audience: Grades K-12, Post-secondary Focus
Strand: Social Justice in PHE | Classroom Session
Language: English Session
Diversity is complex. We are made up of internal and external dimensions that shape who we are as individuals. This intersectionality creates an interesting puzzle which can have an impact on learning. The puzzle pieces are not uniform, some segments are larger and more prominent than others indicating the significant role they may play in one's life. This session seeks to provide a means for invested educational stakeholders to integrate reflective and reflexive opportunities for pupils within their teaching. It fuses ways of thinking using ethical reasoning through a meta-awareness of diversity. It opens contemplation and conversation around the interconnections of the individual with and through a collective community identity. By adopting a culturally consciousness approach to teaching and learning, we will develop a deeper awareness of individuality in order to develop a high quality, accessible PE program.

GuysWork is an innovative and evidence-based health promotion program designed to disrupt unhealthy presentations of masculinity that impact the health of young men and their peers -- particularly young women. GuysWork was developed in Nova Scotia in 2012 by the departments of Health and Wellness and Education and Early Childhood Development to help remove the stigma around help-seeking that was preventing school-age guys from accessing the province's Youth Health Centres.These pro-social spaces were quickly recognized as a place wherein young men could have important conversations connected to partner-based violence. Beginning in 2022 GuysWork is implementing a three-year pilot project bringing GuysWork to the other Atlantic Canada provinces and evaluating its impact over multiple ages and stages of guys' lives. The pilot endeavors to inform a national strategy to engage young men in efforts to reduce partner-based violence and promote gender equality, while also increasing help seeking behaviours among youth participants.

The 5-year, multiphase SSHRC-funded InterActive for Life (IA4L) project is premised on understanding the ways we can develop social emotional learning in and through the language of movement with emphasis on postural, positional, gestural, and energetic awareness in the teaching of games and sports, dance, and fitness pursuits. In this active session, knowledge gathered from interviewing, observing, and creating documentary videos of seven world renowned experts in the partnered disciplines of equestrian, salsa dance, martial arts, and acroyoga will be mobilized into a series of InterActivities which emphasize the many ways relational awareness and motion-sensing responses to others may be enhanced (Nyentap, etr. Al., 2020). Through a combination of experiencing the IA4L resource, as well as watching mini video examples and testimonies of physical education teachers applying the IA4L project to their practice (Lloyd & Smith, 2022b), participants will walk away with practical, research-informed ways to teach relational connection in any physical education program.
Compassion Fatigue, Burnout, and a Way Forward

This session explores a Public Health Agency of Canada resource, the "Blueprint for Action: Preventing substance-related harms among youth through a Comprehensive School Health Approach". As school communities cope with the wider impacts of the pandemic, this tool is a helpful starting point for conversations about substance use and how substance-related harms can be addressed both inside and outside the classroom. The Blueprint model brings together the Comprehensive School Health framework, a well-established approach to building healthy school communities, and four evidence-based approaches to preventing substance-related harms: upstream prevention, harm reduction, stigma reduction, and equity-oriented approaches.

Join me as we explore various teaching tactics that will help you infuse your lessons with intention and purpose. In this active session, you will be guided through an outcomes-based lesson designed to help you experience the thrill of teaching from a place of confidence and clarity. Together, we will explore how to establish clear targets for learning, engage students in ongoing formative assessment, introduce various discussion protocols, and design games aligned to outcomes. You will leave this session with various evidence-based, teacher-tested tools added to your pedagogical toolbelt that will empower you to approach your teaching with rockstar confidence!
