Tampa Convention Center: Ballroom D
Speakers: Robert Pangrazi, Professional Advisor, Gopher Sport-Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ; and Debra L. Pangrazi, Mesa Public Schools, Tempe, AZ
Classroom teachers seldom initiate physical activities for youth because they worry about management and discipline issues. This session is designed to teach physical education teachers how to manage active youngsters in small areas. In turn; they can return to their school and teach classroom teachers similar skills. In addition, a number of Gopher Sport Active and Healthy classroom activities for children will be presented.
