About this Community of Practice
The Canadian Association for School Health has been working with number of organizations in supporting school health (e.g. Canadian School Health NGO Network; School Health Research Network; Canadian School Health Knowledge Network). As part of the networking activity CASH is working to develop mini-networks on particular issues, including Physical Education/Physical Activity. This CoP presents an opportunity to support knowledge exchange, foster coordination and collaboration on a variety of projects of interest to its participants by bring together national non-government organizations, researchers, local agency practitioners (e.g. school district and health authority professionals) and others as interested. There are several opportunities that are being planned to support the exchange of evidence-informed practices, resources and research. Practical activities geared to helping support effective practice include:
School Health Webinars: These are 60 minute, web/phone based seminars presented by a blend of research experts and practitioners. Each session is very topic specific (e.g. active recess programs; municipal recreation department’s role in school PE/PA programming, etc.) More about the webinars program can be seen at: http://www.safehealthyschools.org/webinars/introduction.htm.
Schools & PE/Physical Activity Symposium (April 21/08): this day-long focused on a comprehensive approach to this issue. It was held in conjunction with the 4th annual National School Health Conference. The presentations from the symposium are provided below.
