This National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) workshop explores the themes of fair play, safety responsibility and communication. The goal is to expose participants to an innovative process that will help them teach Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) like throwing, hopping, jumping, kicking, striking, balancing, catching, and agility to children.
The workshop will provide participants with practical guidance, hands on experience, and information about the tools and resources that are available to help them create a positive learning environment. Participants will be encouraged to discuss, interact and problem-solve while participating in physical activities, reflection exercises, and group tasks. Teachers and coaches will learn how to use the presented information and resources effectively in their physical education classes and practices, helping to foster physical literacy. The workshop is being delivered by faculty in the Sport, Health, and Physical Education department at Vancouver Island University.

Vancouver Island University’s (VIU) Sport, Health, and Physical Education (SHAPE) Department are proud to present an Active Living Teachers Conference.  This conference is being offered to VIU students in the teacher preparation program and SHAPE students. Join us for a day of fun, learning new skills or refreshing old skills that will offer exciting alternatives in physical education. We are offering six workshop choices designed to provide you with dynamic learning activities for both elementary and secondary levels.  Everything will be held on site at the VIU gymnasium. The schedule includes three time slots with a choice of two workshops per time slot.
