- August 15, at Missisquoi Valley Union Middle and High School
All participants must complete the registration form to attend. Each site has a maximum registration cap, so please sign up soon, if interested.

More about the 2024 SHAPE America National Physical Education Standards
States and local school districts across the country use the National Physical Education Standards and National Health Education Standards to develop or revise existing standards and curricula. The new standards, which were endorsed by the American Federation of Teachers, provide a comprehensive framework for educators to deliver high-quality instruction and make a positive difference in the health and well-being of every student.
The National Physical Education Standards Task Force and National Health Education Standards Task Force were composed of a diverse group of individuals representing K-12 educators, higher education faculty, and representatives from relevant organizations. During the revision process, which began in 2021, both task forces gathered feedback through several rounds of public review and comment, as well as town halls, focus groups, and more.
Free Educator Kits — available for both physical education and health education — include the Standards, Rationale, and Performance Indicators, as well as additional resources relating to the new standards. New learning progressions will be available in the physical education national standards book, which will be published by Human Kinetics in August, alongside the health education national standards book.
