Description:

Do skills-based health, SEL, and backward design all sound familiar? But … what are they and how do you use them? Take a step back, take a deep breath, and let's take a look at basic planning. Together, we locate data, select and infuse performance indicators, align SEL competencies to decrease a risk factor, and then plan assessment and instruction. Toward the end of the session, we analyze a unit and lesson plan template to determine how they benefit your program.

Front Loading Lessons With Universal Design for Learning Principles
September 15, 2022 at 5 p.m. ET
Order Now
Description:

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that provides instructional guidelines on the ways in which teachers can make the gymnasium a welcoming and responsive environment that promotes student participation through the appreciation of students’ variability of learning and skill acquisition. Through multiple means of engagement (how we engage students’ interest), multiple means of representation (how our instruction improves students’ understanding), and multiple means of action and expression (how we support students to demonstrate learning), teachers can make the learning environment and curricular content accessible by recognizing barriers and identifying students’ learning goals.

Presenter: Michelle Grenier, University of New Hampshire Lauren Lieberman, SUNY-Brockport

Include Students With Physical Disabilities? Have the Right Attitude
May 26, 2022 at 5PM ET
Order Now
Description:

Research is clear: Students with physical disabilities are often excluded from physical education — and teachers’ attitudes toward students with physical disabilities can negatively affect inclusion. These attitudes may be formed when teachers do not feel educationally prepared or competent to teach students with physical disabilities. Attitudes may also be affected by lack of resources. The purpose of this webinar is to discuss how attitudes can shift, even if school resources are not available. A possible solution is providing a perspective-taking intervention to affect attitudes of physical educators.

Presenters: Aubrey Shaw, Research Consultant, Center for ETHICS*, University of Idaho Sharon Stoll, Professor and Director, Center for ETHICS*, University of Idaho
