Presented by Carrie Flint Outstanding K-8 Physical Education Teacher, Adapted Physical Education Specialist, National Presenter, and Author

Join outstanding PE teacher and national presenter Carrie Flint for an innovative seminar filled with practical strategies for all K-8 physical education teachers who want to improve student behavior. This is a unique and highly practical seminar geared specifically for the physical education setting. Teachers in all settings are faced with disruptive student behaviors, many of which affect not only one but all the students in the class. In the physical education setting, there are additional challenges to managing student behavior, such as larger class sizes, sharing teaching space, environmental factors, managing equipment, and daily schedule adjustments to name just a few. In this seminar, you will learn dozens of practical ideas that will help you create a more positive learning environment for all your students.

Carrie has taken what she has found works to reduce misbehavior in her own K-8 PE programs and packed it into a day filled with her best strategies, lessons, tips, and adaptations of activities designed specifically to reduce disruptions and misbehavior. Whether you are experienced or new to teaching PE, you will walk away with exciting and engaging strategies you can immediately implement in your own PE program.

I understand first-hand the frustration of creating an amazing PE lesson and then not be able to teach it as planned due to poor student behavior. Research has identified that teachers lose 5-9 hours a week on low level behavior issues such as not listening, off-task, talking back, disrespect, attention-seeking, or avoidance behavior, etc., not to mention occasional extreme behavior causing full-scale derailment of our PE lessons. Dealing with challenging behaviors in PE is nothing new. Compounding the problem, students became a little too comfortable with the sedentary nature of virtual learning and are now showing resistance to movement and exercise more than ever. The good news is that there is a solution, and I am prepared to share what I've learned works!

My primary objective with this one-day seminar is to provide you with as many practical ideas, tools, and strategies as possible to help you guide your PE students to greater success, including those who seem unmotivated and disengaged when they walk into your PE class. I plan to share a lesson plan formula that will help you boost student engagement, and dozens of other tips, resources, and tools I have used to improve student behavior and significantly decrease disruptions in my own PE classroom. I can tell you, everyone is having more fun in PE class, including me!

It is a challenging time to be a PE teacher. However, there are proven strategies that will improve your students' behavior! In this one-day seminar, we'll explore many practical strategies and techniques to help you better handle student behavior in your PE classroom. I will provide you with a variety of ideas and activities that promote an all-inclusive and safe physical education learning environment. I look forward to sharing a wealth of practical strategies you can use in your class immediately to improve your students' behavior in PE and increase their productive participation.

P.S. You will leave with dozens of practical ideas and an extensive digital resource handbook to help you implement the strategies in your physical education classes!
