| Equity in the Gymnasium: Coed Physical Education Strategies for Success |
| For decades Title IX has included a requirement that most physical education classes must be coeducational. The law's requirement has not always meant successful, frustration-free compliance. This session will focus on specific techniques and practical strategies gleaned from skilled practitioners from across the United States and Canada who have found successful methods for building positive learning experiences for both males and females in coeducational physical education settings. Tools for evaluating aspects of coeducational programs and adding to teacher training program curricula will also be discussed. |
