The Equity Finish Line 2.0: Creating a Culture of Belonging in PE

The Equity Finish Line 2.0 is not just another PD. It is your launch pad for creating a culture of belonging and inclusivity that meets every student where they are. Whether students are running drills in the gym, participating in fitness stations, practicing mindfulness in health class, or navigating activities with assistive devices, this session is about ensuring no one is left on the sidelines physically, academically, or socially. We will explore how to use simple household items such as clothespins to spark meaningful discussions around empathy, foster diverse conversations, and perform real-time assessments that reveal both student thinking and participation patterns. You will walk away with strategies to make every PE class, health lesson, and activity a safe space for social, emotional, and physical growth.
