Meaningful PE.Integrity A
David Schmidt
Meaningful PE is about finding ways to make the things that we teach meaningful for each individual student. It is not necessarily changing what we teach but finding ways to differentiate it and allow students the freedom to make it fit their personal needs and personalities.
Start by recognizing that we all come into experiences seeing them through our own lens. As people who have made the choice to teach HPE for a living our lenses are likely significantly different than many students. We must keep this in the forefront of our minds as we work with students to meet them where they are and work on influencing them towards a better life rather than pushing them through our lens.

I'd like this to be a fun session that puts us back to the days of our childhood, getting up off our feet and experiencing the games firsthand.

Putting Face on Addiction: Using Literacy to Build Understanding, Integrity A
Joe Reardon (SHAPE PA High School Health Teacher of the Year)
Do you feel like something has been missing from your Drug, Alcohol, Tobacco, & Medicine Unit at the secondary level? In this session, we will discuss how reading a memoir of one family's experience can help students develop a better understanding of what addiction truly is and can bridge the gap between society’s perception of addiction and how addiction impacts the lives of everyone involved. By utilizing various literacy strategies, students are able to engage in their reading and learning at a deeper level. Students immerse themselves in the story, Beautiful Boy: by David Sheff - “A father’s journey through his son’s meth addiction.” Students navigate the family and social dynamics of addiction, the psychological and physiological behaviors of addiction, and the resources available to help those suffering from addiction personally or who have a loved one dealing with addiction. Differentiation options will be discussed to make this available to all learners.
