HPE Higher Education
(Where do we want to be?) Key Results - Strategic Objectives and Outcomes
1. Increased Classroom Exposure and Training for University Students. University students would be exposed to carefully designed and meaningful quality hands on classroom experience earlier in their studies so that they can get a better understanding of the demands and expectations of the profession as well as complete certifications such as first aid, CPR, CPI, or any other relevant trainings later in their upper level courses prior to graduating.
2. Greater Comparability, Equity, and Consistency. PE/Health are treated as equal subjects to Math, Science, and ELAR with regards to salary/stipends, PLC time, class sizes, and fitness results being part of the overall school report card. In addition, facilities should be comparable with classrooms in regard to technology and resources needed to be successful and safe when teaching and being active. We also need to ensure that we are consistent across the state with ensuring we are meeting the state requirements when it comes to the minutes of PE per week or block period as well as getting Health back in the curriculum for not only high school, but middle and elementary as well where a certified health teacher, separate from the PE teacher, can educate our kids on the nutrition, health risks of not being active, and any other current issues we may face.(opioid addictions, bullying, sex ed, etc..)
3. Improved Awareness of Key Partners. Administrators, non-HPE educators, and families would be educated in the importance of HPE with the help of research, resources, and tools through open houses, wellness nights, professional development, and other community events.
(How do we get there?) Strategies, Programs, Services, and Inputs
1. Align Learning and Health Objectives and Practice. Current university professionals in the educational process can help with looking at how the listed objectives can be incorporated into current classes and advising.
