-Developing Athletics in Independent Schools: How to Survive with the Feeder School Designations
Jason G. Bell, St. Francis High School
This workshop is designed to give coaches and athletic directors ideas that can be readily implemented in their respective schools to increase the viability and success of their athletic programs. Special attention will be paid to new KHSAA regulations that have recently passed regarding “feeder” schools. Specifically we will go over the implications of the rule for independent schools both large and small, while providing insight and direction as to methods of proceeding under this new legislation assuming that it is ultimately adopted.
Format: The workshop will require participants to be willing to share ideas and
thoughts they may have regarding their particular institution or independent schools in general. Time will be allowed to ask questions regarding specific legislation and rules as they apply to your school, and for workshop members to converse with one another on a series of topics with the hope of generation multifaceted answers and suggestions that have practical application in independent schools.- Middle School Physical Education Assessment

-JK-4 Physical Education: Wow! I never thought of that!
Roseann Conlan, St Francis School
As Physical Education Specialists we all have our own way of doing things. We
have a certain organization that fits the needs of our particular learning environment. Have you ever thought “I wish I had a new idea for teaching ___________________.” (You fill in the blank).
The inventors of all these great new ideas aren’t necessarily found on the internet
or in any books, but instead are found sitting in this room today. In this session we are going to utilize all of the combined knowledge and experience that each of you possess to bring out new and different ways of teaching grades JK-4 PE.
