2026 SHAPE Iowa

In this interactive session, we will explore innovative strategies for incorporating physical activity into the school day to enhance student learning and well-being. Participants will gain insights into the benefits of a comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP) that supports both academic success and healthy development. Through practical examples, attendees will learn how to design and implement movement-based activities that align with curriculum goals, foster student engagement, and improve focus and behavior. We will explore how to build school relationships that foster a movement culture, ensuring that physical activity is a regular and effective part of the school experience. Attendees will explore how physical activity, when thoughtfully woven into the school environment, encourages students to develop lifelong habits of health and wellness. Join me to discover how moving to learn can be the magic that leads to healthier, more motivated students and a more energized, engaged school community!
