In 2018, Lieberman wanted to find a way to help more children internationally. She decided to take a leap — and was rewarded with a Fulbright Global Scholar Award that helped make that dream a reality.

In the feature article “You Are Not Alone,” you’ll read how member Bill Casey has been instrumental in bringing much-needed support and resources to students struggling with mental health challenges at Neuqua Valley High School.

Redefining Our Community in 2020 Jamie Sparks, President @JamieSparksWSCC

T

he foundation of transformation has been laid during 2019, setting the stage for truly Redefining Our Community (R.O.C.) in 2020. It has been an honor to work with my fellow board members this past year in blazing the trail ahead for SHAPE America.

For the first time in our history, thanks to the health. moves. minds.™ program, our members and those in our profession have the ability to elevate their role and the impact they have on improving the lives of students in a way that is fully visible to their whole school and whole community.

April 21-25. This is the largest and most sought-after event to both speak at and attend for health and physical educators!

And the list of this year’s presenters shows why the national convention is the marquee event in our profession!

But there is a whole lot more planned for 2020 than just the national convention. This year, SHAPE America is partnering with our districts and state associations to host events that engage, equip and empower our profession to truly Redefine Our Community, including: • Professional Learning Institute Chicago: WSCC Model (February 17)

FREE CURRICULUM AND FUNDRAISING TOOLS Not only does the health. moves. minds. program take a whole child approach to social and emotional learning — with an absolutely free curriculum for any school — it’s also a game changer of a fundraising program. It gives the most funds back to where the funds belong: the teacher and the school! It also supports the state association at the highest level of any program we have ever been involved with.

By the time you read this article, I will have already been permanently tattooed with one of three symbols from the health. moves. minds. logo — and maybe all three! I issued a state association challenge in the fall which said I would visit — and get a health. moves. minds. tattoo — in the first three states that signed up 160 schools for the program.

It has been fun traveling to states to speak, share and advocate for this amazing new program, and 2020 will have even greater impact for our students because of this work!

I had fun traveling to state conferences this fall and sharing the excitement around health. moves. minds.

MUST-ATTEND EVENTS Speaking of 2020, there is a R.O.C. star lineup of events that you will not want to miss out on! The big one of course is always SHAPE America’s National Convention & Expo, which this year will take place in Salt Lake City from

• SPEAK Out! Day Advocacy Event in Washington, DC (March 10-11) • P rofessional Learning Institute Louisville: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for Every Student (August 3-5) I look forward to seeing and connecting with our members at these events. Thanks for being a part of making 2020 one of the best ever for the field of health education and physical education!

FROM THE CEO

Join Our Incredible Movement Stephanie Morris, CEO @SHAPEAmericaCEO

W

e’ve officially arrived.

Hundreds and hundreds of schools across the country are health. moves. minds.™ schools, and I couldn’t be more excited or proud.

And, the stories that are pouring in about the impact this program is making — it’s powerful.

First, we’re hearing straight from teachers doing health. moves. minds. that it’s giving them a seat at the table in their district when funding and staffing decisions are made, because administrators realize this program offers real benefits for a school district.

How do we know this? One health. moves. minds. teacher recently got a meeting with her superintendent, which led to her getting a significant increase in staffing support. Because of this program.

Second, health. moves. minds. is getting families to sit up and take notice about physical education in their child’s school. It’s even getting families engaged.

One teacher wrote that she received her first-ever spontaneous thank you note from a parent that was completely

unconnected to teacher appreciation week or the holidays.

I’ve also seen family fitness nights where more than 300 families came to celebrate and participate in a kickoff event for health. moves. minds.

I watched parents leave that event knowing that their kids have incredible PE teachers who are making a real difference in their children’s lives.

Third, this program is making a real impact on the lives of our students.

HELPING STUDENTS COPE

I’ve heard firsthand accounts of how our youngest learners who really struggle with emotional regulation are gaining real skills to help them manage themselves, build relationships with their peers, and get the most out of their school day. As the parent of a kid with special needs, this means so much to me personally. We also know that kind of progress leads to a lifetime of physical literacy, as well as better learning outcomes!

I’ve also seen photos of children in incredibly high-stress situations — such as active shooter lockdown drills — practicing their Mindful Minute, a technique they learned the day before as part of a health. moves. minds. lesson in physical education. It is inspiring and incredible to see students calm, composed and managing their own anxiety because of this program.

Another teacher at a secondary school shared that they kicked off their health. moves. minds. program Enjoying the health. moves. minds. event at Sibley East Elementary School in Gaylord, MN.

Momentum • Winter 2020

with an all-school event that addressed the stress, anxiety and depression they know their students are facing. After the presentation, three students immediately went to teachers, seeking help. One student was brave enough to share that the depression he’s been feeling has been pretty serious for some time, but that it never occurred to him before now that he could get help for it. He asked his PE teacher, “Can you help?”

This program is making a real impact on the lives of our students.

The answer, of course, was YES. This is why we’re doing health. moves. minds. I am so proud of every aspect of this program — from the money that will go back to schools to the opportunity for schools to fundraise for a local charity — but what I’m most proud of is the impact we’re making on students’ lives. It’s everything.

I urge you to join us. Find out more today about health. moves. minds.

Go to our website, reach out to your state affiliate, call our team at SHAPE America. But join us and sign on today to be part of this incredible movement.

Your students are counting on you.

TIPS for Making the Most

of Your National Convention Experience

A 1

s excitement builds for the 2020 SHAPE America National Convention & Expo, we wanted to provide some tips from members who have attended the event for 20+ years. (The list was long, so we reached out to a random selection.) Here is their advice!

3

— RHONDA HOLT | Peterson Elementary School,

“ Introduce yourself to new people and share your contact information — starting at the airport and on hotel shuttles. Socialize over coffee, lunch or dinner for in-depth conversations. After the convention, don’t forget to “thank” the people you exchanged ideas with — and especially your administrator or others who helped finance your attendance.”

Wichita, KS (Retired)

4

— KRIS FRITZ | Early Learning Center, Sheboygan, WI

2

“ Attend as many sessions as possible. If a session isn’t what you expected, leave and find another one. Talk to exhibitors and learn from them, don’t just go for the freebies. And finally, share what you learned with others when you get home.”

“ My best tip for attending the National Convention is to make the best use of your time by reviewing the conference schedule in advance and blocking off the sessions you really want to attend. Network with colleagues and friends, meet new people, and spend time with the exhibitors. But most importantly, have fun!”

“ My advice is to pick the three most interesting sessions which can help you to improve your teaching, develop your professional network, and get information about the hot issues in your field. I have been coming to the SHAPE America National Convention since 1995. It has helped me dearly.”

— YUANLONG LIU | Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI

5

— JAYNE D. GREENBERG | U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (formerly Miami-Dade Public Schools)

“ Immerse yourself in the experience. Preplan your conference schedule and attend as many sessions as possible. Engage in professional conversations when you can because there is always something to learn. And, enjoy the evening social activities — this is where you can meet others in a more relaxed setting.”

— STEVE MITCHELL | Kent State University, Kent, OH

6

“ Research the background of the session speakers before you go. Different types of speakers (e.g., Teachers of the Year, government agencies, professors, salespeople) present differently. I like the speakers who have conceptual frameworks because they provide a “compass and map” on how to apply the activities and games they recommend.”

— PAUL RUKAVINA | Adelphi University, Garden City, NY

“ Plan ahead! Use the mobile app, go through the program, and figure out what you want to attend.

Make sure and look for individuals who are well known in the profession. Go to some of the social events. Don’t be afraid to talk with presenters — there is much you can gain.”

—SHARON KAY STOLL | University of Idaho, Moscow, ID

8

“ Maintain your passion for the job you do in the field and understand the value of attending the national convention in your professional growth and development. Plan ahead of time what you want to look for at the convention. Then, show up and enjoy yourself — and network with friends and colleagues.”

— PING XIANG | Texas A&M University, College Station, TX

—KASH ALEEM | Maydell Jenks Elementary (TX)

“I am looking forward to experiencing being surrounded by like-minded individuals who want the best for our students. A healthy body, healthy mind, and proper guidance are all needed to help students succeed! I’m excited to experience the 2020 SHAPE America National Convention!”

REFLECTION

Pursue Your Passion Professor Lauren Lieberman reflects on fulfilling a professional goal and bringing sports to children with visual impairments

F

or more than 30 years, my educational and professional pursuits have been dedicated to helping children with visual impairments.

It’s my passion.

During my first year of teaching at The College of Brockport, I wanted to extend my impact beyond the college classroom. Working with a team of people at the university and in the community, I developed Camp Abilities, an educational sports camp for children with visual impairments or deafblindness. Since then we have started more than 20 camps across the United States and eight in other countries.

Seeing these children do sports they had never done before was life changing.

TAKING THE LEAP In 2018, I began reflecting on my upcoming sabbatical and my dream of helping more countries start Camp Abilities programs. I needed to find support, so I applied for a Fulbright Global Scholar Award, which allows U.S. academics to conduct research or a combined teaching/research activity in two to three countries.

With only 25 Global Scholar Awards given each year, I knew it was a longshot.

Would the Fulbright program value sports and recreation for children with visual impairments?

A DREAM REALIZED In March of 2019, I learned I was awarded the Fulbright scholarship to go to Ghana, Ireland and Brazil — each for one month — to help start Camp Abilities programs.

In Ghana I worked with Dr. Reggie Ocansey at the University of Ghana.

Together with his national service students we created a three-day Camp Abilities program. Many of the young people attending got to run and swim for the first time in their lives. It was extremely rewarding to see the faces of the children delighted at the feeling of doing something they had never done before.

Next we held a Camp Abilities program at the Akropong School for the Blind. My happiest moment was when I saw a team of 6-year-olds jumping up and down in delight when they scored a goal in goalball. The feeling of playing a sport and scoring a goal would stay with them forever.

In Ireland, I worked with Ursula Barrett from the Institute of Technology Tralee and the CARA Centre. They have had a Camp Abilities in Ireland for 10 years, and I was there to try to help them start new camps. I conducted trainings around the country through the National Council for the Blind of Ireland, the National Sport Center, Child Vision Services, and the Cappanalea Outdoor Education Center.

Working with Dr. Maria Luisa Tenure Alves at the University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil, we started a mini Camp Abilities with 5-year-olds. It was so amazing to see them jump and throw

Lauren J. Lieberman, Ph.D., is a distinguished service professor in the Kinesiology Department of The College at Brockport, State University of New York (SUNY).

She is the founder and director of Camp Abilities, an educational sports camp for children with visual impairments. Camp Abilities has been replicated in 20 states and eight countries.

See Camp Abilities on HBO! Lauren has published more than 135 peer-reviewed articles and 20 books. She can be reached at llieberman@brockport.edu.

for the first time. We then had a twoday program with children roller skiing, swimming, running, and doing martial arts for the first time ever!

Accomplishment is universal — and seeing these children do sports they had never done before was life changing for them and for me.

CONTINUING TO STRIVE I am thrilled to be living out my dream professionally thanks to amazing support from The College at Brockport and organizations for the blind throughout the world.

What are your professional goals as a health and physical educator? I hope I’ve inspired you to continue to envision a future where we can all promote health and physical education, physical activity, and sport — no matter how hard it may seem.

INSPIRING KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Friday’s general session will include a keynote presentation

by Dr. Adolph Brown, III, servantleader, lifelong social justice advocate, and a career teacher educator.

Being reared by a single parent mother in the housing projects and having his oldest sibling and only brother murdered when he was only 11 years old, Brown encountered many adverse childhood experiences.

And, as a former at-risk student who had one foot in gifted education and the other in alternative education, Brown knows that the “Whole Student” deserves a “Whole Education.”

Using evidence-informed practice combined with available research and his vast experience as a veteran educator, Brown addresses best practices in the classroom and beyond for K-14 and higher education.

Dr. Adolph Brown’s keynote presentation during the Closing General Session is sponsored by Gopher, SPARK and Wellness Training Specialists.

This year’s convention will feature keynote presentations during two general sessions — on Wednesday, April 22 and Friday, April 24.

During Wednesday’s Opening General Session, internationally renowned motivational speaker Kevin Atlas (Laue) will share his incredible life story of turning challenges into triumphs, which was chronicled in the Oscar-qualifying documentary, “Long Shot: The Kevin Laue Story.”

Due to complications at birth, Atlas, 28, was born with a left arm that ended just below the elbow. As a young child, he struggled in school and with selfconfidence, until a middle school coach showed that he believed in him. Atlas eventually became the first player with a disability in NCAA history to receive a full Division I athletic scholarship.

In 2019, with the support of Varsity Brands, Atlas began his nationwide Believe in You Tour — part of a campaign designed to challenge students to support one another. Atlas hopes to spread his message to as many students as possible — inspiring them to first believe in themselves, and secondly to believe in others.

Kevin Atlas’ keynote presentation during the Opening General Session is sponsored by US Games. Atlas appears thanks to the support of Varsity Brands.

NETWORKING AND SOCIAL EVENTS Networking at a SHAPE America national convention can happen anytime, anywhere — in the airport, on the hotel shuttle, at the registration desk, during breaks in between sessions. Be open to meeting new people and you will!

The highlight of the week is sure to be Friday’s Hall of Fame Celebration & Give Back Event from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Join us to celebrate the last night of the convention with appetizers, cocktails (one free drink ticket is included), music and laughter as we announce the 2020 SHAPE America National Teachers of the Year! (continued on next page)

and emotional health struggles, they would tell Casey, “I can see why this is important.’

And the good news? “We are already seeing students having conversations with either their peers, their teachers, or their parents,” says Casey. “And that’s what we wanted from this program.”

By Larissa Brickach

T

hroughout the hour-long video, teachers and students at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, IL, share the raw details of their personal mental health struggles. Anxiety, depression, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts — nothing is off limits.

The video — which was produced as part of the health. moves. minds.™ program at Neuqua Valley — ends with suggestions on where to turn to for help.

Then comes a final camera shot of faculty and staff gathered together to share one critical message: “Remember … you are not alone.”

Powerful stuff.

saying they need help and they don’t know how to get it. The health. moves. minds. program allows us to create something where we can bring advocacy back, so students can actually ask for help.”

From the start, Neuqua Valley’s administrators, social workers, guidance counselors and teachers were all on board with piloting the program.

And, as Casey began giving presentations about health. moves. minds. throughout the school, he could tell that students were ready to engage as well. Because they – or people they knew – were going through social

• TUESDAY: MINDFULNESS Be mindful about your screen time on your phone and other devices and get the lowest time in your phone app today.

Bill Casey, chair of the school’s Physical Education Department, volunteered to pilot health. moves. minds. in his high school back in Spring 2019, even though at that time the program was only designed for grades K-8.

For Casey, the school had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

• WEDNESDAY: EMPOWERMENT What makes you feel empowered?

What makes you different is a strength not a weakness. Write “I Am” statements in PE today.

Momentum • Winter 2020

When school started back up again in the fall, Neuqua Valley was ready to implement the health. moves. minds. program again, with a school-wide “Serenity Week” to be held October 21-25.

Each day of the week had a different focus, and teachers were asked to consider integrating each day’s skills and activities into their classroom lessons: • MONDAY: KINDNESS Do an act of kindness and post it to social media using #healthmovesminds and #kindnesschallenge.

“I can see why this is important.”

“I have never seen such high levels of anxiety and depression among our students,” says Casey. “Students are

STEP 2: BUILDING ON SUCCESS

Bill Casey gives a presentation on the health. moves. minds. program at Neuqua Valley High School.

• THURSDAY: ADVOCACY Talking to someone is the best way to advocate for yourself or someone else. Get a green bracelet in the cafeteria today to show your support against stigmas.

New High School Mini Lessons Available in April!

Neuqua Valley High School students share kind comments with one another.

Yoga was one of many activities available to students and staff during Serenity Week.

• FRIDAY: GRATITUDE Show gratitude by thanking people.

In PE, write down someone you are thankful for and why and then post it on a gratitude tree.

Throughout the school, administrators, teachers, staff and students participated in the health. moves. minds. activities — many of which were shared on Twitter using #healthmovesminds.

But the health. moves. minds. program at Neuqua Valley is so much more than a week of lessons and activities once a year. It has been the catalyst for broader changes in school culture — and even new parent resources.

“We realized that parents need support as well when their children are struggling with mental health challenges,” says Casey. “With the help of the National Alliance on Mental Illness DuPage County, we formed a health. moves. minds. parent group, which will help give our Neuqua Valley families the support and resources they need.”

If you’ve been inspired to implement the health. moves. minds. program in your high school, watch for new educational resources coming in April!

Visit https://www.shapeamerica.org for details.

Mini lessons are 10-15 minutes in length. They allow teachers to customize how to implement health. moves. minds. concepts to best fit the needs of their students.

Mini lesson topics include: n

Mindfulness Empowerment n Kindness n Advocacy n Equity, Diversity & Inclusion n

Raising Mental Health Awareness in Schools: A Student’s Perspective By Rahael Javaid I am a student at Neuqua Valley High School, located in the Chicago area. Last spring, Neuqua Valley was one of 20 schools across the country that piloted the health. moves. minds. program. My school also implemented the program again this fall to raise awareness for mental health issues.

Neuqua Valley has a mental health club called YouMatter that formed just last year. I joined this club when it started, hoping to help carry out this message. Our group strives to impact others by educating them about the stigma surrounding mental health.

The health. moves. minds. program has helped make an impact, and personally my experience with the program at my school has been amazing!

As a teenage girl and high school student, I know the stress that surrounds me and my friends. This is a tough time to live in and we are all trying to figure out who we are as a human being and what we strive for. This program helped ease the stress from school, family issues, or whatever anyone was going through.

RESEARCH

Updates From the Research Council

Research at #SHAPESLC Join us at the SHAPE America National Convention & Expo in Salt Lake City, April 21-25, for research presentations in the areas of:

Jennifer L. Walton-Fisette, Research Council Chair Tim Brusseau, Research Council Past Chair

T

he Research Council continues to be an advocate both within SHAPE America and nationally for quality and impactful research.

For the 2020 SHAPE America National Convention & Expo in Salt Lake City we reviewed more than 300 research and symposium proposals.

Of those, more than 232 (76%) were accepted.

Our research program at the national convention will include six symposia, three poster sessions, 14 regular oral presentations, and four roundtable oral sessions. This will be the third year that we employ this format. Roundtables are an increasingly common presentation format at other conferences, affording focused discussions around one topic. We will also have three Research Council lectures as part of the convention’s Distinguished Lecture Series, numerous scholars being inducted as Research Fellows and the first recipient of the Thom McKenzie Grant award.

“APLUS” RESEARCH PROJECT Researchers on the Assessing Physical Literacy Using Standards (APLUS) project have completed the beta and formal

pilot testing phases of the data collection process. They are currently creating a dashboard and database to store the data.

Furthermore, a toolkit has been created that includes a battery of assessments in PDF format; videos are also included.

RESEARCH DIRECTIONS AND FINDINGS As announced in previous issues of Momentum, the Research Council is partnering with Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport (RQES) to publish a series of papers establishing research directions for SHAPE America. These eight papers target the following research areas: physical activity, motor development, sport pedagogy, physical education, health education, adapted physical education, sport coaching and social justice. The third paper on physical education appeared in the September 2019 issue of RQES. The remaining 5 papers should be published in 2020.

The Research Council is also pleased to provide SHAPE America members with UnLock Research materials, which synthesize research findings for both scholars and practitioners. Learn more at http://www.shapeamerica.org/research.
