Confidence in Motion: Voice, Choice and Inclusive PE

Let’s rethink what success looks like in middle school physical education. In this hands-on, high-energy session, participants will explore how student voice, choice, and non-traditional, inclusive activities can foster confidence, engagement, and spark lifelong physical activity. This session blends practical strategies and real examples to show how to embed verbal participation and peer communication into lessons to promote confidence and reflection, offer meaningful student choice to increase motivation and engagement, and use inclusive activities to allow all students to become lifelong movers. You’ll leave with a toolkit of activities and ideas that promote student empowerment, lifelong physical literacy, and inclusive participation.
