Improving Physical Activity for Lifetime: HPERD Professionals and Community Partnerships
How can you extend recreation and physical education instruction into the community? Discover new ideas and models for creating new partnerships with education, community recreation, transportation, and health professionals to support physical activity for a lifetime. This session will provide resources for teaching lifetime recreation skills in school and community settings, and offer a program model for promoting close to home parks and trails for fun and fitness. In addition to community recreation, participants will explore walking to school as a health and safety opportunity, and learn more about the national Safe Routes to School (SRTS) initiative.
