This Month and in January: Move-to-Improve Training Workshops for Elementary Teachers
Move-to-Improve (opens in new window) is the DOE’s free, classroom-based activity program for grades K-5/6 that provides students the opportunity to engage in physical activity throughout their instructional day. Move-to-Improve All-Star schools may also use Move-to-Improve activities to supplement their PE program. Schools have until January 31 to become an All-Star school for the 2021-2022 school year.
The upcoming 60-minute online workshops are designed specifically for classroom teachers in the elementary grades who wish to be trained to use Move-to-Improve to enhance their lessons. Only staff who have registered for this webinar are permitted to attend.
End the Year in Community: Join PE Online Professional Learning Communities (OPLCs) on December 13
Throughout December: Getting Back to Basics with Live PE Basics Webinars
Great for new PE teachers as well as experienced teachers who need a refresher after a year of remote teaching.
