President Ashley Grimes Strength in Numbers: Building Capacity through Physical Literacy
As physical education and health professionals we encourage our students to engage in physical activity outside the school day and we utilize best practices in our teaching to ensure that our students are both physically and health literate. Physical education is the only place where children receive formal instruction from a trained professional in the fundamental movement patterns and skills. Physical literacy is the goal of physical education. Our standards contain the content for what students need to know and to be able to do to be physically literate. It’s about developing movement competencies. The more movement competencies a child has the more activities they can do; and the richer their physical literacy journey. Developing physical literacy is a shared responsibility. The Aspen Institute identified 10 sectors positioned to play key roles in developing physical literacy: • Community recreation organizations • Public health agencies and foundations • Education • Media and technology • Fitness organizations • Business and industry • National Sport Organizations • Parents • Health Care and Medical Providers • Policy makers and civic leaders.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. We are a part of that Unfortunately our students are not all where we need them village. to be. “Worsening obesity and the associated negative health consequences will have a catastrophic social, economic, military, How do we build that village to support that child?

4 SHAPE Florida SHAPE Florida Executive Director Hollie M. Newnam, Ph.D. Physical Education or Physical Activity; is there a difference? As we continue to advocate for quality physical education there are proponents promoting physical activity who do not appear to know the difference between the two. Even some of our professional organizations encourage physical activity to the point that sometimes I wonder if physical education is losing it’s unique identity.
According to a Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE) America guidance document on The Essential Components of Physical Education (2015), “physical education is an academic subject that provides a planned, sequential, K-12 standards-based program of curricula and instruction designed to develop motor skills, knowledge and behaviors for healthy, active living, physical fitness, sportsmanship, self-efficacy and emotional intelligence.” Whereas physical activity includes recess, activity breaks, activity integrated into classroom lessons, as well as physical activity sessions before or after school. Physical activity is not supported with national standards, benchmarks or student assessments. The SHAPE America article mentioned above defines physical activity as “any bodily movement that results in energy expenditure.”
I applaud any and all physical activity that our students are provided before, during and after school especially since we have seen a reduction in the amount of physical education students are exposed to during the school year. Yet, I do not want us to ever lose sight of the rigor and importance of physical education as it helps to develop physically literate students. In a recent OPPAGA Review of Recess Policies and Practices, November 2016, they found that seven states allow schools to use recess to satisfy the physical activity requirement (the physical activity requirement was not defined). Five of these states have this policy in addition to their physical education requirement; kudos to Arkansas, Connecticut, Indiana, South Carolina, and West Virginia. Included in the seven states for which recess is an option to fulfill the physical activity requirement Colorado reported that they do not have a state elementary physical education requirement and North Carolina only has the recess option in schools without physical education.
The intent of this short message is to encourage you to begin thinking about physical education and physical activity and to determine if you believe they are the same or different. If they are different, would you be able to explain the difference to a parent? To a student? To principal? or To a legislator?

If the solution is safe allow them the opportunity to try and one arm. Many individuals with CP may also have other concomitant conditions it and then work on refining it. Younger students may need you to help them think (intellectual disabilities, emotional stress, etc.).

During partner work, assign a “skilled” partner to the student with CP (ex. someone who will give an accurate toss or catch an errant throw), not a struggling student who can not catch an errant toss or give an accurate throw. SHAPE Florida 13 TEACHING IDEAS
Mike Fitzpatrick, Gulfview Elementary School Lesson: Jump Roping STANDARDS: PE.3.M.1.12 Continuously jump a self-turned rope PE.3.L.3.1 Identify a moderate physical activity PE.3.L.3.2 Identify a vigorous physical activity Jump roping is one of my favorite activities to teach my students because it is fun, challenging, engaging, and creative. It seems that there are limitless types of jumps that you can learn and create into a routine. There are single jump skills, partner 2016 SHAPE jump skills, team jump skills and numerous games that you can incorporate into your teaching unit. When you blend in all of the health and fitness aspects of jump roping Educator of the Year you come away with a truly empowering unit that will enable your students to learn Elementary Physical Education and grow stronger physically, cognitively, and socially as well. In order to keep my lessons content specific and on point, I always use the NGSSS and SHAPE America Grade Level Outcomes as a guide to determine what each particular grade level should be able to accomplish. These standards I chose to guide me for these activities that I will be sharing are for 3rd grade. With a little “tweaking” all these activities can be modified to meet the standards and developmental appropriateness of all grade levels. Also, some other Jump Rope Skills/Activities/Challenges standards could be used in this lesson as well. I’ve noticed that when students are presented with the standard first and the standard is then broken down into a “kid 1 minute jump friendly” version, that it increases students time on task, improves their focus, and Play some music scatter the students in a safe jumping area and have the students guides them toward an end result. That end result being the mastering of the standard jump on their own for 1 minute. Survey the activity and notice the different levels being presented that day. of jumpers that are in the class. This is a great opportunity for a quick formative assessment. After the time is up, give some cues to help improve the struggling There are numerous opportunities to differentiate your instruction so that jumpers and provide a different challenge for the advanced jumpers. Resume the all students can learn and be successful. YouTube videos, teacher demo, peer music and have the students jump for another minute. demonstration, gif’s, picture visuals, video recording of other students, coach’s eye (app), Jump Rope for Heart posters, and other jump roping apps are available to How many can you do in a row foster a learning environment that promotes achievement and success at every level. Pick a skill and have the students count how many times they can complete it. If you have the equipment available, such as a projector or ipads, I strongly suggest Provide a teacher demo of the jump skill, picture (photo copy or on projector), or that you purchase the app, Jump It, available on both ipad and android. The visuals another student can demo. The goal for the skill is to jump as many times as possible and jumping skills on that app work great for this unit. If a projector or ipad is not in 30 seconds or 1 minute. available, then shoulder folders for cones with pictures and instructions (laminate) work great too. I can do that too! Playing music is essential for creating a learning environment that is energetic, Have students find a partner, one person creates a jump skill and the other person fun, and provides that extra little bit of motivation that some students need. It also has to copy it. Students switch being the leader. Students can create their own jump helps students establish a rhythm as they jump. Although you cannot make all of the or choose a jump from pictures or poster with visuals of jumps. students happy with your music selection, try to play music that is appropriate and “popular” to them. Starting and stopping the music is also a very effective classroom Jump and Move management tool that should be included in your repertoire of instructional strategies. Try different ways to move around the area while jumping. I have been using a small cordless portable speaker with Bluetooth that has been one of the most invaluable pieces of equipment that I have purchased. Ask your PTO for Jump Club funds to purchase one for you, collect Box Tops, Donors Choose, write a grant, or ask a Place the numbers 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 in a shoulder folder or business to donate one for your program. You won’t regret it! something similar and place them on a cone Scatter the cones w/the numbers around Here are some jump rope activities that I would like to share with you that I hope the area.

Problem Solving Jumps How many times can you….. On a projector or in shoulder folders have students solve the problem and jump Teacher calls out to the students “How many times can you…” teacher than says rope equal to the answer. EX. How many food groups are there? There are how many a skill for the students to perform while jumping rope. Ex. How many times can you states in the USA? How many people are in your class? How many days are there is jump on your left foot, right foot.…….squat down and jump your rope…..jump the month of December? Show a number (example 828) then add the ones digit and your rope backwards…..how many jumps can you get without a miss….hold both the tens digit and perform that many jumps. How many are in a dozen? (Questions handles in one hand, how many times can you spin the rope under one foot…..Spin should be based on grade level and content specific to what they are learning in their the rope under your feet two times before landing (double under) homeroom.

During the rest period, the teacher gives a demo of the next jump. You can perform 4 or 8 rounds. True or False Students lie their rope in a straight line on the floor. Explain to students that the right side of the rope is the “true” side and the “left side is the “false” side. Ask a Partner Jumps series of true or false questions. Students have to jump over their rope to the correct *Check out the Jump it App for great visuals side to display their answer…...Jump and land on one foot...jump and land in a low and definitions for partner/group jumps.* level…...jump and twist in the air….Create a “crazy jump” and land safely. Problem Solving partner jumps Sporadically, throughout the lesson have the students take a break and have Teacher provides text/definition of a partner jump and the students have to try them notice how jumping rope has increased their HR and breathing. If you have HR and perform the jump. Ex. (taken from Jump It app) Two in One Rope - Partners stand monitors this would be a great way for students to notice how intensity can increase facing each other with one partner holding both rope handles. Partners attempt to their HR and put them into different zones. Pulse sticks, checking their carotid pulse, jump together…..Front-to-Back - Partner 1 holds both handles and faces Partner 2’s and simply placing their hand over their heart work as well. Also, always revisit the back. Partner 1 turns rope while both attempt to jump...Side-by-side - Partners stand standards throughout the lesson by asking questions that reflect knowledge and side-by-side facing forward, each holding a handle of the rope with outside hands. comprehension of the standard. Example: How can jump roping be both a moderate Both turn rope and attempt to jump…...If you have access to a projector, show the and vigorous physical activity? Show/tell me how you can continuously jump a self picture and have the students perform the jump task. turned rope with moderate/vigorous intensity….You can ask these questions in front of the whole class, small groups, as an exit slip, or as you are walking around monitoring the students during their activity. Checking for understanding should be Group Jump Challenges done throughout the lesson to keep kids thinking and on focused on the task at hand. (3 or more people) Create excitement and be enthusiastic with your lessons and your students. This Problem Solving partner jumps will create an environment that is fun, active, and full of hidden learning opportunities. How many people can you get to jump the long rope at one time? (Could be a whole class challenge) One at a time, how many people can you get to go through the rope? No jumping just through. Join another group; can you get your group to go through the rope in 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, and 5’s? Can each person in your group, enter a turning rope, jump 3 times and then exit the rope without stopping the rope from turning? Can your group have at least 3 people jumping and switch places in the rope while the rope is still turning?
