SCOTT HIRONS NANETTE KIDBY DEWAYNE McOSKER, JR. “Work hard. Play hard. Represent us well.” Dear Students, Parents, Coaches, and Sponsors: Participation in athletic and extra-curricular activities is an important learning opportunity provided by Stafford County Public Schools. Participation in athletic and extra-curricular activities provides opportunity for students to apply what they have learned in a context beyond the classroom, particularly in the areas of communication, collaboration, and leadership. We are proud to have students represent our schools and division in a manner that is highly visible and extends well beyond the classroom. As such, our expectations for excellence are high. In choosing to participate in athletic and extra-curricular activities, students are accepting additional responsibility to do the right thing for themselves, as well as their peers, teams, school community, and beyond. We expect students to exercise good judgment and conduct themselves with honesty, integrity, and respect for others at all times. Please keep in mind that participation in athletic and extra-curricular activities is not a right. Failure to meet expectations outlined in this document, as well as in School Board Policy and the Student Code of Conduct, will result in disciplinary action. Work hard. Play hard. Represent us well. Sincerely, W. Bruce Benson, Ed.D.

Together with its development and spreading its importance grows as well. However previously conducted research on floorball from its managerial point of view is rare, especially on an international scale. The present investigation makes an attempt to fill this gap in a holistic manner. It explores the research problem of finding the potentials of floorball as a sustainably successful sport – worldwide and in the case country, Bulgaria. For this purpose the study utilizes the tasks of collecting and systematizing existing relevant data, binding floorball to theoretical frameworks of contemporary science and observing its development level and current issues globally and locally. The research uses a qualitative, ethnographic approach to obtain its goals, and includes participant observation, unstructured and semi-structured interviews. Data is analysed through a combination of qualitative analysis tools – thematic analysis, discourse analysis, content analysis, visual data analysis, etc. The primary data has been gathered in Finland, as well as in Bulgaria and consists of observation of key events and interaction with key informants.

  • Incidence, Awareness, and Reporting of Sport-Related Concussions in Manitoba High Schools
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE COPYRIGHT © 2019 THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES INC. Incidence, Awareness, and Reporting of Sport-Related Concussions in Manitoba High Schools Glen L. Bergeron ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Federal and provincial governments in Canada are promoting provincial legislation to prevent and manage sport-related concussions (SRCs). The objective of this research was to determine the incidence of concussions in high school sport, the knowledge of the signs, symptoms, and consequences of SRC, and how likely student athletes are to report a concussion. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of athletes (N = 225) from multiple sports in five high schools in one Manitoba school division was conducted. Results: Participants in this study were well aware of the signs, symptoms, and consequences of SRC. Cognitive and emotional symptoms were the least recognized consequences. SRC is prevalent in high schools in both males and females across all sports. Of the 225 respondents, 35.3% reported having sustained an SRC. Less than half (45.5%) reported their concussion. Athletes purposely chose not to report a concussion in games (38.4%) and practices (33.8%). Two major barriers to reporting were feeling embarrassed (3.4/7) and finding it difficult (3.5/7) to report. There was, however, strong agreement (Mean 5.91/7, SD 0.09) when asked if they intend to report a concussion should they experience one in the future. Conclusions: The results suggest that high school athletes would benefit from more SRC education. Coaches and team medical staff must be trained to be vigilant for the mechanism, signs, and symptoms of injury in both game and practice situations.

    2015 Annual Report Virginia Board of Education VIRGINIA BOARD OF EDUCATION’S 2015 ANNUAL REPORT ON THE CONDITION AND NEEDS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN VIRGINIA PRESENTED TO THE GOVERNOR AND GENERAL ASSEMBLY NOVEMBER 2015 1 COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA BOARD OF EDUCATION P.O. BOX 2120 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 23218-2120 November 2, 2015 The Honorable Terry McAuliffe, Governor Members of the Virginia General Assembly Commonwealth of Virginia Richmond, Virginia 23219 Dear Governor McAuliffe and Members of the Virginia General Assembly: On behalf of the Board of Education, I am pleased to transmit the 2015 Annual Report on the Condition and Needs of Public Schools in Virginia, submitted pursuant to § 22.1-18 of the Code of Virginia. This report articulates major improvements, accomplishments and challenges facing public education in the Commonwealth. The Standards of Learning (SOL), both the learning expectations and concomitant assessments, have provided a foundation for increased student achievement for nearly two decades and have helped make Virginia’s public schools among the nation’s best. However, twenty-first century accountability is more than just achievement on a series of tests. The Board of Education believes an effective accountability system is one that recognizes growth in student achievement; rewards, encourages, and promotes continuous improvement; and creates a school climate that engages students and retains and attracts highly effective and innovative teachers, and school administrators who inspire students to learn at high levels. The Board believes we must work with our education partners to further improve public education by: Creating an accountability system that promotes continuous improvement, acknowledges progress, and measures quality across a broad spectrum of indicators; Building capacity in schools and school divisions to support the unique needs of all students, teachers, and administrators; and Fostering positive, safe, and healthy school climates that promote high student achievement and social and emotional development.
