Lean Into Change: Strategies for Creating a Culture of Belonging
Monday October 7, 2024 9:00am - 9:50am MDT
Conference Room VIII
Join the presenter on her journey, as she shares her experiences and learnings from being a person of color, growing up in a white world, with a privileged lens.  All situations are examples of what students can face on a daily basis that should be taken into consideration when planning, implementing, assessing and promoting physical education/physical activity programs. Her ability to talk authentically about trauma, race and privilege creates a space where adults can truly empathize with the challenges and struggles that children/students face on a daily basis.

Her story will change the way you see children enter your classrooms, schools and programs. Her story will change the way you show up in conversations and how you engage with other individuals. Her story will make you more compassionate, more empathetic and more aware of how to be intentional in creating equitable and inclusive environments. Participants will leave with tangible strategies on how to create environments that promote diversity and belonging.

Participants will be able to:

1) Identify a vulnerable population or under-represented group that you feel you could be more intentional with creating a more inclusive environment in physical education/physical activity settings?

2) Identify one to four strategies for creating a culture of belonging.

3) Identify at least two considerations to take back to your school/team/program to ensure the physical education/physical activity programming you offer will be more equitable, diverse and inclusive; ultimately, creating a sense of belonging for all?

Sports Education Mode
Monday October 7, 2024 10:20am - 11:10am MDT

The Sports Education Model (SEM) is a pedagogical framework designed to enhance the teaching and learning of physical education by mimicking the structure and experiences of authentic sports. Developed by Daryl Siedentop in the late 1980s, this model aims to provide students with a more engaging, enjoyable, and educational experience in PE classes. This is an old method but I hope to share my experience with it and some teaching ideas that I brought to it. 

Session Objectives:
  • Learning target #1 Understanding the structure and components of the sports education model.
  • Learning target #2 Implementing the sports education model in Physical Education classes.
  • Learning target #3 Enhancing student engagement and learning through authentic experiences.
