The Conference theme, Values into Action - A Brighter Future provides both a reminder of what is unique to our professions and of the challenge to remain relevant in a developing educational initiatives and community opportunities to foster active and healthy living. The conference theme is also a reminder of the increasing validation of the role physical activity can play in cognitive development, as well as physical, emotional and social development. Mostly, however, the conference theme prompts us to remember that what we say we are about only becomes what we are about through the “everyday philosophy” that we all adopt and which ultimately directs our individual action. To that end we must guard that that our rhetoric about what we do is the reality of what we do. The biennial ACHPER conference provides the opportunity for members of the health, physical education and recreation professions to share research, innovation, and expertise. We are delighted to have outstanding globally recognised keynote speakers to anchor a conference program containing international, national and local (SA) experts and innovators. The Conference Organising Committee is pleased to present a program that offers a broad selection of academic, classroom and practical sessions where teachers, researchers and health, sport and recreation professionals can engage in conversation ‘side-by-side’. The ACHPER conference is unique in bringing together teachers and practitioners in sport coaching, health and recreation at the same venue at the same time for this exchange of ideas. This conference also provides a number of networking and social opportunities, which I encourage you to join in. I take this opportunity to thank the Conference Organising Committee: Rick Baldock, Russell Brown, George Evreniadis, Janet Harper, Amanda Henry, Mike George, Matt Schmidt and Alison Turner for their nearly 18 months of planning and preparation for this event. The conference would not have occurred without the support of the Program Committee chaired by Mike George, the Social Committee chaired by Janet Harper, the Academic-Scientific Committee chaired by Professor Murray Drummond and the volunteers who have joined those committees. Thank you. The committed staff of the ACHPER (SA) office: Matt Schmidt, Anna Colley and Tegan McClean, together with the ACHPER National staff led by Alison Turner have provided the organisational “muscle” to make the event happen. Thank you. As you meet old acquaintances, make new ones and engage in activities which will enhance your professional understanding and practice I trust you will remember that it happened in Adelaide and join us again in South Australia, whether it be for another professional learning event or a holiday outing. Dr Shane Pill, 29th ACHPER International Conference Chair, ACHPER (SA) President 2002 - 2015, ACHPER Life Member 34 4 A Message from Mike George, Program Director The 29th ACHPER International Conference is the showcase of best practice and research of key ideas relating to HPE teaching, Health Education, Sport and Recreation, representing ACHPER’s focus areas. The strength of the program is the combination of topics that are relevant and topical for teachers as well as university academics as, together, we strive to improve the quality of the HPE learning outcomes and the provision of possibilities for active and healthy living. The conference theme of Values into Action- A Brighter Future is a deliberate provocation to professionals to celebrate their great work whilst encouraging deeper reflection of the true essence of the programs they are delivering in terms of both the content, but more importantly, their pedagogical practice. In relation to schools, improving student learning outcomes is directly related to the quality of the pedagogy used to deliver the content as this is what engages students into deeper thinking and reasoning - an aspect of HPE we need 29th ACHPER International Conference | 13 - 15 April | Prince Alfred College, Adelaide, SA to develop and promote as a strength of our learning area. For this reason, we are delighted to have a Games Sense forum running as a strand through Monday of the conference and specific aspects of theoretical and research based understanding topics running in unison to enable people interested in particular concepts, curriculum, research or programs
