 Overview
Congress passed legislation (P.L. 108–265) requiring every school in the United States that participates in the National School Lunch Act to implement a wellness plan. The components of the plan, which include nutrition education, physical activity, and other activities related to wellness, mesh well with goals emphasized in the subject matter of physical education. The physical education teacher is now positioned to assume leadership within the school and community.

The purpose of this conference is to couple physical education teachers with administrators and/or significant colleagues and to expose them to cutting-edge researchers/leaders/models to teach them how to successfully implement the policy across the curriculum. The conference will also provide research and significant new information related to school wellness.

Who Should Attend
• Physical Education/Health Teachers
• School Administrators/Principals
• Classroom Teachers Interested in Physical Activity and Wellness
• School Nutrition Personnel
• Researchers
• College/University Teacher Educators
