We have launched a new and improved Professional Learning Catalog (opens in new window) site, which is now integrated with the Office of School Wellness Programs Wellness Hub. Starting this school year, all professional learning opportunities from our Office are now available only on the new site. This former catalog will no longer be updated.
Bookmark the new catalog link (opens in new window) for continued access to our professional learning opportunities.
Visit the Events and Professional Learning page (opens in new window) of our Support Center for more information about the new catalog features, and answers to questions about registration, CTLE, and other professional learning topics.
For More Info: Visit the Office of School Wellness Programs Support Center (opens in new window) for information about the instructional content areas and programs we support, including answers to frequently asked questions.
Physical Education (opens in new window) is a required academic subject that teaches students to be physically active, work as a team, and set fitness goals that can last a lifetime. Now more than ever, students need to learn and apply the physical, cognitive and social-emotional learning (SEL) skills and positive attitudes that PE provides.
In New York State, all students must receive PE as a part of their education. This page provides resources and materials (including the New York City Physical Education Scope and Sequence documents), to support PE teachers as they build communities of learners, design high-quality physical education curriculum, and deliver instruction to meet their students' academic, physical, and emotional needs.
