Inspire support with “No Excuses!” A Film About QPE
Come learn how to use “No Excuses!”, clips and discussion prompts on the www.supportREALteachers.org website to promote your Quality Physical Education program to parents and administrators. The documentary showcases the transformation of a “gym class” into a quality physical education program in Harlem. It also features teachers, administrators, politicians, business leaders, and PETE professors from throughout the US.
In this session, participants will learn how they can use “No Excuses!” and the clips and discussion prompts on www.supportREALteachers.org to promote their quality physical education program to parents and administrators. The documentary showcases the transformation of a “gym class” into a quality physical education program in Harlem. It also features physical education teachers, administrators, politicians, business leaders, and PETE professors from throughout the US.
The documentary is available on www.supportREALteachers.org as a free resource for teachers.
Participants will learn:
-How to use the film/clips and discussion prompts to promote quality physical education at their school and beyond.
-That they are part of a solid group of professionals in the fight for quality physical education for every child.
Many physical education teachers who attend the CAHPERD conference teach in situations that are far from ideal, and their programs may not be at the level they know is considered “quality”. This session is relevant because it deals with reality. We hope that tackling the challenges in a public manner through this documentary will help teachers move forward in their advocacy efforts to promote and provide quality physical education for all children.
Attendees view clips form the film “No Excuses!”, interspersed with opportunities for the audience to ask questions. Teachers who have already used the film for advocacy will be able to share their experiences.
Theoretical basis: We have decades of research on quality pedagogy in physical education. Advocacy efforts promoting quality PE continue to be an important issue in our field.
