Critical Conversation: Student Motivation in PHE, Mon. Nov 18, 7-8 pm
In a world where regular participation in physical activity is scarce, kids are dropping out of organized sports at high rates and early ages, and PHE teachers are seeking ways to inspire students, creating meaningful and motivating experiences has never been more important. How might we design our PHE classes to promote and support the unique needs of each student and address these challenges in authentic ways without burning themselves out in the process?
Webinar: Manage and Teach Your Elementary PHE Class Like a Pro. Thurs. Nov 28, 7-8 pm
Facilitated by two passionate and experienced BC elementary school PHE teachers, Lisa Manzini and Lynn Dawson, this webinar will help K-7 teachers with smooth start up ideas for PHE class, stress free planning, and engaging and inclusive activities in PHE. Participants will leave this webinar with practical activities to use in their teaching while also enhancing their confidence to teach in a gym setting.
5-PART LEARNING SERIES
Assessing, Grading, and Communicating Student Learning in PHE
This learning series is designed to support K-12 teachers in their efforts to teach, assess, grade, and communicate student learning in their PHE class. Each webinar will focus on one theme and will provide practical approaches/practices for teachers to use.
LEARNING SERIES #1: Assessment Foundations, Tues. Dec 03, 7-8 pm
This is the 1st of 5 webinars in the learning series focusing on assessing, grading, and communicating student learning in PHE. This session will look at foundational assessment principles and approaches to ensure our practices support and promote student learning.

NEW to PHE BC
Are you a pre-service teacher? An early career teacher? A TTOC?
We are happy to launch a new way to help our soon-to-be teachers, our early career teachers, and those teaching in TTOC roles. This program is devoted to those in any of these 3 roles to help them as they enter into the teaching field here in BC.
We know teaching can be an exciting and fulfilling experience, yet it can also be exhausting, overwhelming, and confusing. We are here to support you, connect you with others, and help learn with and from each other.
