LaEntrada Middle School, Menlo Park, CA
I'm now nine weeks into the school year and I've had more fun teaching Physical Education this year than any other year. Not only was the PE workshop great fun, but it has far exceeded most of the workshops I have attended in any subject as far as what I actually use upon returning to school.

CPEW: Proposal Letter
Need a proposal letter to present to your administrator on why you want to come to workshop? Just fill in the blanks to personalize it.
At one time I found this idea to be an invasion of my PE time that took away from important movement time from my students. By moving to a school that required our PE staff to involve literacy daily this challenged me to attempt to find new and exciting ways to do just that. In my sessions you will learn realistic ways to involve reading and writing in a meaningful way that does not intrude on the students activity time. In fact you can use these strategies and documents to greatly increase your students cognitive retention of your curriculum WITHOUT losing the essential movement time. It is my hope that you will be able to leave CPEW well equipped and challenged to attempt these new strategies that will make your classes more standards based. In addition these documents and strategies will open up a new and easier way for you to grade more off of actual student learning rather than what they do in regards to participation.
Jami Goldman Marseilles
In a story of sheer endurance and survival, Jami Goldman-Marseilles emerged from an unthinkable 11 days, stranded in a car with a friend, during a terrible snowstorm in a desolate area of Northern Arizona. Finally rescued by snowmobilers, Jami lost both of her legs due to frostbite. Exercise was, much to her dismay, the key to her recovery. Slowly, Jami realized that exercise was also a key to her life and she eventually excelled in running sprints, and spent years on the US Paralympic Track and Field team. Distance running called, though, and in 2001 she became the only double amputee woman to complete a half marathon. Since then Jami has competed in The San Diego Triathlon Challenge 10 mile race 5 times and she has finished 6 1/2 marathons. On October 11, 2015 Jami became the first bi-lateral below knee woman amputee to finish the Chicago Marathon, and on April 18, 2016 she became the first bi-lateral below knee woman amputee to finish the Boston Marathon, she is a proud mom, wife, author and teacher, she resides with her family in Huntington Beach, CA.

Course Description
Standards-Assessments-Tools-Grades: This session will focus on standards based instruction. The national association SHAPE along with the state organization CAHPERD have adopted and are currently using standards to assist all students with physical education literacy. Standards are used as the foundational research for "what and why" your students will be learning in your class. Assessments are the "proof of learning" collected by you the teacher with summative and formative evidence. Tools are the means of "how evidence of learning" is collected by you. Lastly, your grading will be supported by more than observation and raw data collection. Proper alignment of these categories directly correlate to student learning, outcomes, and grading. Ultimately, you will walk away with a new challenge to conquer with excitement and enthusiasm to see students learning daily in your classes. GO ALL IN!

Course Description
PE Favorites: PE favorites is a handful of games and activities that I find very beneficial for students and is something I think all PE teachers should learn so they can use in their own classes. This course will have a variety of activities from jump roping, tag games, to a dancing Jigsaw! Most of my activities are designed for large groups (35+ students) but all can be modified to fit your specific needs for your own school!

Kazy Gutierrez
Advisory Council
I have taught from kinder to college in 14 years of teaching Physical Education as a Fresno State Alum. I taught the Fresno State, Kines 120, Planning Strategies for Physical Education, which was an honor as well as one of my most fun years of teaching. I taught freshman and sophomore Physical Education, as well as a junior-senior Physical Education class that focused on understanding your body type and being aware of the pressures of society to look a certain way. Additionally, I returned to Fresno State to teach a seminar class to aspiring multiple subject teachers on how to teach a quality Physical Education lesson, and the importance of teaching skill and understanding as to why they should know the skill. I then taught at the middle school level for 8 years where I helped start an elementary program in Atwater Elementary school district. I am back to teaching middle school, the hardest years of a young persons life and the most awkward, where I get help make a difference. I have been lucky enough to open three, new, different Physical Education programs, start up two new schools, teach young adults how to become the best Physical Education teacher they can be, be on Fresno Unified's Physical Education advisory team, and be on committee and advisory team for CPEW. I love what I do and sometimes can't believe I get paid to encourage, teach, and play all day long!
