Physically active art lessons: Let's explore the possibilities! 

In this workshop, through a hands-on and fun approach, participants will be introduced to the core concepts of physically active learning (PAL), which has been popularly defined as the "integration of physical activity into key learning areas other than physical education" (Watson et al. 2017). 

Through a series of example PAL lessons from across the curriculum and from across grade levels, we will explore the how PAL can support student engagement as well as increase physical activity within the school day. We will then workshop and co-design arts curriculum based PAL lessons for future use by teachers across NS. Please come prepared to move in a non-competitive, inclusive environment, with some curriculum ideas up your sleeve for our co-design process.
