During the VIP Physical Education Workshop you will get a look at 21st century physical education and learn….

​

• A variety of enjoyable, all-inclusive physical activities, designed to build self-confidence, and promote cooperation, fair play, and responsible participation, while encouraging lifetime fitness pursuits

• More activities that are action-packed, providing lots of choices and opportunities to challenge your students with countless opportunities for success, no matter the skill level.

• To move from comfortable, familiar, and functional physical education to movement education instruction that is rich with opportunities to engage children with fun, challenging, and dynamic experiences.

• A number of fun, movement and skill-based games, provided in a context of realistic situations that promote the skills of communication, cooperation and personal responsibility, while learning to apply critical thinking and problem solving; crucial life-skills that are necessary to allow all of us to think for ourselves and be productive human beings. 

• To implement games that go beyond exhibiting rote memorization of performing skills to games and activities that present problems, thus requiring students to learn how to brainstorm, collaborate, put into action and evaluate strategies in order to be successful.

• To take advantage of the opportunities, especially after attending this workshop, to relate the game’s challenges to some real-life situations that students may encounter one day
