Health and Physical Activity InstituteSession Descriptions


Monday, July 9, 2018

8-10 am, Bike Smart! Virginia Vicki Miller, Beneline Williams & Adam Otstot

8:30-9:20 am, Badminton Bonanza (Large Groups) Charla Krahnke, OPEN, Ocean Isle, North Carolina Standards and outcomes-based progressions are utilized as

we perform Badminton drills/skills/assessments and fitness activities with large groups. OPENphysed.org Badminton lessons will be used as we discuss physical literacy and utilizing technology in secondary classes.

8:30-9:20 am, Progressing from Foot Skills to Soccer in Elementary Physical Education

Nick Kline, OPEN, Cortland, New York Experience the scope and sequence of OPEN’s Elementary

Soccer modules with developmentally appropriate activities, assessments, and cognitive question sets. OPEN’s soccer content is aligned with the VA SOLs with a focus on taking students from SOL K.1.d through SOL 5.1.a using fun, meaningful, and rigorous content that will both challenge and motivate your students.

8:30-9:20 am, Hitting SOLs with Limited Equipment Ashley Grimes, OPEN, Parrish, Florida The content for this session was created in response to

the 2017 hurricanes that impacted hundreds of physical education programs. After the storms, many equipment inventories had been ruined or lost, classes were displaced, and planning periods were being used for recovery efforts. The result of our work has benefited school throughout the US with limited resources.

8:30-9:20 am, It’s an OPEN Dance Party! Brandon Herwick, OPEN, Glenmont, New York As physical educators, one of our main objectives is to

encourage students to use physical activities as vehicles for self-expression. The Hopi Indians tell us that “to watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak.” Although most of our students will never become performance artists, they will most certainly have the opportunity to dance during celebrations and social gatherings. This session is designed to help teachers plant seeds of expression and enjoyment, so students will have the skills and confidence to dance whenever a dance party presents itself.

9:30-10:20 am, Learning Lacrosse in Physical Education (grades 3-5) Aaron Hart & Rich Wiles, OPEN, Cortland New York &

Anne Arundel County, Maryland Lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United

States. OPEN’s Lacrosse Module for Grades 3 through 5 was created by Aaron Hart (OPENPhysEd.org) and Joel White (3X All-American at Syracuse and 3X Major League Lacrosse All-Star). In this workshop participants will unpack the basics of the game with a focus on basic ball control skills (cradling, scooping, catching, and throwing).

9:30-10:20 am, OPEN’s Secondary Roundnet Modules (SPIKEBALL!)

Chris Walker, Mebane, NC Spikeball and OPEN have teamed-up to bring you more fun

than you can spike on a Roundnet! Come participate in developmental progressions for helping your middle and high school students hit the Roundnet pro-circuit. Grade level outcomes focus on skills, etiquette, and social interaction. What more can you ask?!

9:30-10:20 am, Backward Designing Meaningful Fun! (K-5) Elyse Loughlin, OPEN (Online Physical Education Network),

Albany New York Fun is the hook that anchors physical activity into the lives of

our students. Walk through the 3 stages of backward design using OPENPhysEd.org learning activities and assessments. This session will focus on VA SOL 4 with a focus on purposeful fun and positive social development.

9:30-10:20 am, Datos de Frecuencia Cardíaca Heart Rate Data (datos de frecuencia cardíaca) used to be

as difficult to understand as learning a new language. Not anymore! Heart rate data gives teachers and students up-to-the-second feedback on cardiorespiratory endurance, intensity and efficiency. Come and experience how easy and fun it is to collect and report heart rate data through the use of Polar Heart Rate Monitors, GoFit Software and WELNET®. Using heart rate data doesn’t have to be as difficult as learning a 2nd language!

9-10:50 am, City/County Health & Physical Education Program Coordinators’ Meeting

Alice Ashley, Virginia Beach, VAHPERD Chair, City/County Supervisors, & Mike Justice, Stafford, VAHPERD Chair Elect, City/County Supervisors

Immunization Coordinator The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common virus

that can cause 6 different types of cancer in both men and women. The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has procured a statewide license of the documentary Someone You Love: The HPV Epidemic. This documentary looks into the lives of five women affected by HPV, the widely misunderstood and controversial virus that causes several types of cancer, including cervical. Each of these women has an intimate story to tell. For Susie, Tamika and Christine, it’s a story of survivorship that comes with misconceptions, stigma, shame, heartbreak, pain and triumph. For the Forbes’ family, it’s about coping with the loss of their daughter Kristen and trying to prevent it from happening to others like her. Others like Kelly, who at 31 began her cancer journey. The cameras follow Kelly on her epic battle to save her marriage, her career, her family and ultimately, her life.

This film can be shown in the school and community settings. VDH is actively looking for partners in communities around the state to educate about the importance of the HPV vaccine as cancer prevention. You are such a trusted resource in your community.

3-3:50 pm, Flexibility Is Strength – How A Physical Yoga Practice Can Improve Physical And Mental Performance

Megan Baner, 200RYT Yoga Alliance Just as a rubber band that is over extended loses its

functionality, so do the muscles in our body. No matter how much we can lift, how quickly we learn or how far or fast we can move, when the muscles in our body become tight, they strain the connective tissue, pulling on each other and our skeletal system in uncomfortable ways. When our body



becomes uncomfortable or injured, our mind becomes uncomfortable and less productive. A physical yoga practice (asana) is an intelligent and safe way to move the body through dynamic stretches that build coordination, range of motion and, thus, strength.

By regularly working to increase physical flexibility, children can strengthen their body and mind while building a set of skills that can be used anywhere, at any time to think and act more clearly.
