In this presentation, we will explore the transformative effects of the Healthy LifeStars program on youth health. We'll delve into how this initiative empowers children to adopt healthy habits, fostering physical activity, balanced nutrition, and overall well-being. We'll also highlight how Physical Education (PE) teachers can seamlessly integrate the Healthy LifeStars curriculum into their classrooms, enhancing their ability to promote lifelong healthy habits among students. Through inspiring stories and impactful data, we'll showcase the program's success in creating lasting positive changes in communities. Join us to discover how Healthy LifeStars is building healthier futures for the next generation and empowering educators to make a difference.
40% of the SHAPE America Standards are focused on the Social and Emotional wellbeing of our students. Teaching SEL Skills doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice movement in your classes. This session will demonstrate how teachers can provide students with SEL skills while simultaneously teaching physical skills. We will cover how the five CASEL competencies, goal setting, and team building activities can be enhanced through activities that include MVPA. Participants will also learn how creating a safe space for learning can lead to increased student performance and better behavior. Content areas will include classroom management skills, and lesson planning for the social and emotional needs of the students.
Are you looking to spice up your score-keeping system? Attendees will leave with creative and engaging scoring methods that go beyond the traditional scoreboard and encourage goal setting, competition, and MVPA that apply to a variety of units and skills in the Phys Ed setting.
