| Managing Risks in the Gymnasium Setting for Elementary and Secondary Physical Educators |
| Accountability and responsibility have come to the forefront of teaching in physical education. Physical education is an area where students are more susceptible to risks and injuries. Risk management is a strategy used to strengthen physical education programs and decrease the likelihood of litigation. This interactive presentation will offer practical information for elementary and secondary physical educators to assist in alleviating possible risks. Participants will learn to identify the areas in physical education that are most susceptible to risks through the use of pictures, teaching scenarios, and the discussion of legal cases, as well as, assess risk management techniques. |
