President’s Message 2009-2010 President’s Message Jennifer Ellis Welcome to another outstanding FYI edition. Inside you will find details regarding the successful 2010 NJAHPERD Convention. Jackie Malaska, Judy LoBianco and the Convention Planning Committee did an amazing job organizing the convention and it was a big hit. From the opening “Za Boom Ba” keynote session to the Awards banquet honoring our own – this convention will go down as one of the best. YOUR organization has been busy and you can follow us on the web (http://www.njahperd.org) and keep up with the everchanging events. As I leave the Presidency, I would like to thank everyone for your kind words and support during my year as President. It was a wonderful year full of rich and rewarding experiences, which I will cherish always. I am very proud to welcome Steve Cone as your next President and know that we are lucky to have such an amazing individual step into the position. I wish you all the best Steve and have a wonderful year!

2010-2011 President’s Message Steve Cone It has been my privilege to serve with a passionate professional whose enthusiasm and energy are contagious. Please join me in thanking Jen Ellis for her dedication and service to OUR Association. My Presidential theme is “Leading the Way: Education, Service, and Accountability”. This organization is moving forward in exciting ways – constantly looking for avenues to create, support and reinforce a healthy, active lifestyle. Our mission is to offer top notch educational opportunities for our members and to educate the citizens in our state. We strive to provide you with quality services and embrace the opportunities to work with you to complete productive initiatives. And above all, we want to stand beside you as we are all held accountable for delivering quality health, physical education, recreation, dance, and sports programming. Your voice is critical and the NJAHPERD Executive Board recognizes that in these trying times that we need to make a slight adjustment in our mission. Historically, we have offered quality professional development opportunities and we will continue to do so. The change will come in the form of Advocacy. You will be seeing new Advocacy tools on our Association website, a reformatted “green” FYI delivered electronically (let me know if you want a hard copy for one more issue – but the new format really will look good in email and on the web), position statements, stronger partnerships, and local events that will deliver both professional development and advocacy initiatives. Please stay in touch and share your time and energy, your positive comments or concerns, and your ideas and dreams. Together, we WILL make a difference.

EDITORIAL: Goodbye and Good Luck! Peter Rattigan

It has been my pleasure to be the editor of FYI for the past eight years. During that time there have been many changes at NJAHPERD, including going to a full time Executive Director, changing our convention site, the development of regional workshops, the ECSELL initiative, the statewide comprehensive survey of Health & Physical Education, the development of new and powerful partnerships with other organizations, and other changes too numerous to mention. These changes have allowed NJAHPERD to become a powerhouse organization in the state of New Jersey and an organization known and respected around the country. During those eight years other changes and challenges have occurred in the “outside world”, such as two revisions of the NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards, the advent of Option 2, most recently Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative, NASPE’s “Let’s Move In Schools”, and the FIT Kids Act. NJAHPERD has stayed abreast of, become involved in, and/or been proactive regarding these and other changes and initiatives. The world is changing and NJAHPERD is changing with it. And so the time has come for FYI to change. In this time of budget constraints, FYI is going lean and green. I hope you enjoy this, the last “traditional” version of FYI. Henceforth, FYI will go on line. This will save money for NJAHPERD, money that can be spent doing what is most important-serving our members. It will allow FYI to become a more powerful publication, providing in each issue overviews of current events and important announcements that contain links to more in depth articles, discussions, notices, helpful links, organizations, and other information. It will also allow FYI to be more “up to the moment”, keeping members informed about issues almost instantly, something we all need in these fast changing times. Last but not least, FYI now has a new editor. I have, as I mentioned, enjoyed my time as editor, but it is time for new blood for this new era. It is time for a new, young, smart, passionate professional to take over. That person is Erica Schroeder. As the outgoing editor I bid you goodbye, and I wish Erica good luck in this new venture. I look forward to reading the new FYI on line in the very near future.

As the new Editor of the FYI, I would like to thank Peter for his dedication and contributions over the years. Peter has done an exceptional job as Editor. It will not be any easy task to fill his shoes. I look forward to bringing a new perspective to this publication. The new online version will provide up-to-date information and resources, all within a few clicks. Please enjoy this last edition of the FYI before we go green!

MY SERVE: Executive Director’s Message Jackie Malaska, NJAHPERD Executive Director

The Good News and the Bad News…. As educators, we have certainly had our share of bad news in the last few months. “Pink slips”, premature retirements, “pay freezes”, defeated school budgets, emotional board meetings, and even hostile rhetoric have plagued the school community. School districts are frantically searching for ways to keep expenses at a minimum without sacrificing the quality of education. As gloomy as the situation appears, there is good news for those of us who are committed to providing our students with the values, skills and knowledge they need for a healthy, active lifestyle. And we all can use some good news right now! Good News: The national attention of Michele Obama’s Let’s Move campaign has put nutrition and physical activity in the forefront. If you have not signed on to join the call for action and receive updates on the initiative, I encourage you to do so. www.letsmove.gov Good News: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently reviewed 50 studies about school-based physical education and physical activity and their effect on academic performance. Substantial evidence indicates the physical activity and physical education can be associated with improved academic performance. Positive associations correlated to attention/concentration and achievement test scores. Participation in recess contributes to attention, classroom behavior/conduct and achievement test scores. A full report is available at www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth (see page 20 - Executive Summary). These benefits are in addition to the positive effects physical activity has on the brain, bones and muscles, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, mental health, concentration and memory. NASPE’s initiative Let’s Move in School announced in April is focusing on a comprehensive school physical activity programs consisting of eight components to ensure all kids receive the recommended amount of physical activity in school. There are resources and an advocacy toolkit posted on their website to assist you. www.naspe.org Good News: After three years of advocacy in Congress, the Fitness Integrated into Teaching Act better known as the FIT Kids Act, recently passed in the House. FIT Kids would amend the No Child Left Behind Act to help prioritize quality physical education in our schools. It makes sure that parents know about the quality and quantity of physical education and physical activity in schools. Our Representatives “get it”, and hopefully, the Senate will follow their example. Our gratitude goes to NJ Senators Lautenberg and Menendez for co- sponsoring the FIT Kids Act early on and our partner, the American Heart Association, for their support. For more information on the FIT Kids Act, visit http://thomas.loc.gov/ Good News: Our Every Child Stronger Every Life Longer initiatives are moving full speed ahead! NJAHPERD has secured 20 grants from the NFL for the implementation of web based Fitnessgram. The grants are offered through the NY Giants and Jets organizations. Over 100 members expressed interest in the grant opportunity. The ECSELL goal to implement Fitnessgram at the state level and collect valuable fitness data on students’ fitness levels, will begin through these grants. Visit www.everychildstronger.org The Comprehensive Health & Physical Education survey data will be posted on an interactive website in a userfriendly format in the next few months. NJAHPERD had to overcome many roadblocks and decided to hire a private consultant to get the data organized. Bad News: There are 8000 Health and Physical Education professionals in NJ. Only 1500 are members of our professional organization. 3

MY SERVE: Executive Directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Message (Continued) Good News: May is National Physical Education Month and the perfect opportunity to highlight your quality program. Share your success stories with us so we can spread the good news. Good News: Our partnership with the Coordinated School Health Project (NJDOE & NJDHSS) has provided professional development for over 300 NJAHPERD members in Fitnessgram, HECAT, PECAT and SHI through CDC grant funding. Additional opportunities will be available (See page 9 - Healthy Schools Grow Healthy Kids). Good News: Shaping NJ: The State Partnership for Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity has developed goals and strategies to promote a healthier NJ. NJAHPERD serves on the Physical Activity and Executive and Sustainability Committees. The first year strategies will be announced on May 11th at a full partnership meeting. Goals include daily, quality physical education and physical activity at all levels. Visit the Office of Nutrition & Fitness website http://www.state.nj.us/health/fhs/shapingnj/index.shtml Good News: NJAHPERD has formally partnered with Project Adventure to provide discounts, scholarships and additional professional development opportunities to our members. Good News: Our partnership with BikeNY and BikeSChOOL has trained 50 teachers in Bike Ed safety, qualifying them for free use of the bikes in their schools. Good News: Our Hands on Health Conference on December 6, 2010 will be co-sponsored with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, and the Coordinated School Health Project. Good News: FlagHouse continues to be a supporter of our mission and provide NJAHPERD with sponsorships for our Teachers of the Year and discounted equipment for our grant recipients. FlagHouse also has offered NJAHPERD members free grant writing opportunities for PEP funding. Visit www.flaghouse.com Good News: NJ Action for Healthy Kids (NJAFHK) is a coalition of various organizations that share our mission. NJAHPERD is one of the organizers of the NJAHFHK Play60 Nutrition and Physical Activity Conference held on May 17 at Monmouth University. Over 200 professionals are registered for this free event. Bad News: 300 professional members did not renew their membership in February. Good News: In an effort to secure revenue for our programs, NJAHPERD is involved in a unique fundraising opportunity with the Barclays and PGA. We are selling spectator and volunteer tickets to the Barclays Golf Tournament the week of August 26-29, 2010 at Ridgewood Country Club. NJAHPERD received 75% of the net sales and 25% goes to the First Tee Golf program that teaches young people life skills through golf. Tickets are $50 if purchased by June 30th. Please visit www.njahperd.org for details (See page 18 - Barclays Tickets fore Charity). Hopefully, all this good news will reignite the passion you have for our profession and motivate you to continue the amazing work you are doing to promote quality and physical education. With a little extra effort, you might even think of a way to make the bad news a little better! Reach out to your non-member colleagues and let them know what your professional organization is doing to improve health, physical education, and recreation and dance programs. Be proud you are a Health and Physical Educator and let everyone around you know it!

Enough is Enough! In a recent conversation with some of my college students who are completing observations of physical education programs, they remarked how the content and methods they are learning in their courses are not present in some of the programs they have visited. They are confused by this discrepancy and not sure why some professionals have not updated their curriculum. They report observing high school students playing in-class sports tournaments without any skill instruction. They see fitness testing without a follow up program to help students improve. They are shocked to see programs where dodgeball, bombardment, elimination games and picking teams are prevalent. They want to be the change agents that will revolutionize Physical Education. They want to teach programs that are inclusive and support all abilities where the content is relevant to the needs of students. They ask why students are only graded on whether they show up and show intent to participate. What about assessment of skill achievement, game play improvement or content knowledge?

Why are Physical Education programs being cut, losing faculty, and having budgets slashed? Perhaps, we have not made our case that Physical Education is essential to education. We have not convinced the decision makers that we teach a way of knowing that no other subject can address. Sure, we can use the obesity crisis as a rallying cry to preserve our programs but that is not enough. As educators, we have a responsibility to provide students with the skills, knowledge, and dispositions needed to live a healthy, active life. This is not accomplished when a student is hit in the head during a dodgeball game, being called out because they could not get out of the way of the strongest kid in the class hurling a ball with all their power. Enough is enough of poor quality programs that exclude students, make them play without instruction, grade on effort, and where the game score is more important than learning. What some Physical Education programs get away with would not be tolerated in any other subject area. So, what can be done? • Align the content to be relevant to students’ developmental levels and interests. • Provide lifetime activities that can be part of a student’s life outside of school. Eliminate “elimination” activities. We all know the child who is least skilled is usually the first eliminated and all that does is reinforce that they can’t perform the skill, are eliminated, and unable to practice to acquire the skill. Stop letting students pick teams in the Physical Education class. We all know the children who get picked last. What a great self-esteem builder that must be. Use fitness testing to help students understand their present level of performance and then help them find ways to make positive changes. Find a new activity each year to bring innovation to your program. Reduce long lines of waiting and activities where students stand or sit on the bench and watch others. Include skill development assessments or skill application in game play. Include assessments of knowledge gained and students’ attitudes. Prove to others that students benefit from your program. There are many effective programs in New Jersey’s schools. Let your administration know how you make a difference in the lives of your students and the school’s environment. Keep parents informed about what content you are teaching and why it is important for their child to know and be able to do what you offer in your curriculum. Physical Education programs are up against many obstacles that make teaching a challenge; however, there are solutions, ways to make learning meaningful and keep students actively engaged. What does it take? A dedicated professional who will not sit on the sideline and throw out the ball but who will ensure students are learning and has the evidence to prove it. 7

Healthy Schools Grow Healthy Kids: The Coordinated School Health Project The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE), in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (NJDHSS) receives funding to support physical activity, healthy eating, and the prevention of tobacco use through a coordinated school health approach. A five-year cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention supports this project. Using a competitive process, eight Learning Partner Schools were chosen to participate. Participating schools establish a wellness team to assess health policies and practices and develop an action plan that supports wellness. Students participate in fitness assessments and use the information to guide individual improvement. Learning Partner Schools will engage school staff, students, parents and the community in a coordinated approach to support healthy, active lifestyles. Schools received funding and training to implement Fitnessgram and receive on-site technical assistance from a variety of sources. Schools must develop an action plan that addresses one or more priority issues under the coordinated school health model. The eight Learning Partner Schools are: Broad Street Elementary School, Bridgeton; Burlington City Junior/Senior High School, Burlington City; Woodrow Wilson High School, Camden; Rittenberg Middle School, Egg Harbor City; Trenton Central High School, Trenton; Hunterdon Central Regional High School; Perth Amboy High School, Perth Amboy; and Halsted Street Middle School, Newton. In support of this project, the NJDOE, NJDHSS, and NJAHPERD have offered training in the School Health Index (http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/SHI/training/), the PE-Curriculum Analysis Tool (known as the PE-CAT and accessed at http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/PECAT/) and the HE-CAT or Health Education Curriculum Analysis Tool accessed at http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/HECAT/index.htm. In addition, training in Fitnessgram has been offered and there are plans in the works to provide a Fit for Life training as well. Linda Morse, coordinator of health and physical education as well as the NJDOEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school health unit leads the charge, along with PANT specialist Julie McGuiness and NJDHSS coordinator Elaine Suehnholz. There is a lot going on so stay tuned! For more information on upcoming trainings and initiatives, please go to http://www.nj.gov/education/aps/cccs/chpe/ (look under professional development) or to the NJAHPERD website www.njahperd.org. You may also send questions about this project and school health initiatives to cshp@doe.state.nj.us.

Barclays Tickets Fore Charity NJAHPERD invites you to participate in the BARCLAYS TICKETS Fore CHARITY program to promote quality Health and Physical Education in our schools. TICKETS Fore CHARITY (TFC) is a unique fundraising initiative designed to improve the quality of life for children and families in the communities where the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour tournaments are held. Through TFC, NJAHPERD (a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) has the opportunity to raise significant charitable funds while becoming aligned with one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the world. Funds are raised by promoting ticket sales to The Barclays during the week of August 24-29, 2010 at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, NJ. The Barclays is the first event in the PGA Tour Playoffs for the FedExCup and regularly attracts the biggest names in professional golf. The best part is 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of these tickets go to charity. NJAHPERD receives 75% of the proceeds with the remaining 25% donated to The First Tee of Metropolitan NY. There are two types of tickets available. Weekly Grounds Pass (Available April 8- June 30) Normally priced at $100, this is now available for only $50! It is the ONLY ticket available at this time, so be sure to take advantage of this opportunity before July 1! You will receive a Ground Pass for every day of the tournament, August 24-29.

The more tickets we sell, the more we can do to promote our mission! A Volunteer’s INSIDE VIEW OF THE BARCLAYS If you’ve ever watched “The Masters” or a PGA Tournament on television, then nothing will match being LIVE and in ACTION as a Volunteer at The Barclays Tournament, to be held this year at The Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus on August 23-29. NJAHPERD is a participating charity for the FIRST TIME this year; and The Barclays will make a donation based on the number of Volunteers that NJAHPERD provides to the Tournament. A $50.00 application fee includes a tournament golf shirt and hat, meal vouchers for your volunteer shifts, parking, a Volunteer Pass and Guest Pass(both valid for the entire Tournament which means two free tickets valued at $55.00 each day). No experience or knowledge of golf is required they will provide an orientation session (as a Teacher/or soon to be Teacher you will learn a lot to bring back to your students and classes), and Volunteer jobs are filled on a First-Come, First served basis (all job descriptions are listed on the web-site). Interested Volunteers can log on To: http://barclaysvolunteers.pgatourhq.com/ or call 201-444-5356 ext.30 (Ridgewood Barclays Office). Be sure to indicate the NJAHPERD as the affiliated organization (listed on the drop-down menu on the application). I can honestly tell you once you volunteer for this event you return again and again. The first hand experience you receive is priceless. You will meet many, many new contacts and you also will want to take your new found or renewed enthusiasm for golf, back to your students. Help prepare them for the global sport of golf in the next OLYMPICS. Please look me up at The Barclays. JoAnn Doherty (retired colleague) NJAHPERD wishes to thank JoAnn for introducing NJAHPERD to this amazing opportunity. 18
