WSU K-12 student organization members led an engaging P.E. session at South High School’s professional development in-service Feb. 14. Inspired by their Kansas Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (KAHPERD) conference presentation, they introduced innovative games like soccer bowling, H-ball and soccer hockey to over 60 P.E. teachers. These interactive sessions followed an Olympic-style format that the students have successfully used in their own classes.
The goal was to provide educators with fun, creative strategies to enhance student engagement in physical education. Teachers participated in activities and a Q&A session.
This hands-on experience allowed WSU students to apply their knowledge in a real-world setting, strengthening their academic and professional development while making a meaningful impact on local educators.
