Southwest District SHAPE America President’s Letter
Welcome colleagues and friends to our annual SHAPE America
Southwest District Convention! I am exited to be able to co-host the convention with the Utah
Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (UAHPERD). I am happy to see the
interest in and need for continued professional development as expressed by all of you who are here to
learn, share, and grow professionally! My main goal is to ensure that your time at this convention is
worthwhile. My hope is that you will be inspired to become a spokesperson for our profession, and
ultimately empower students to lead active, healthy lifestyles, while also inspiring your colleagues,
staff, and families to increase opportunities for active learning for all.
The theme for our convention, “Learn to MOVE, MOVE to Learn: Active Kids Do Better!”,
is a reflection of my own personal and professional growth and development over time, as well as my
latest experience as an administrator at a Title 1 elementary school. My interest has been in brainbased learning and the effect that physical activity has on academic performance. As a physical
educator, I have strived to work with (and convince) classroom teachers to incorporate physical
activity when teaching academic concepts, before transitioning subjects, and to allow movement
breaks to invigorate the brain throughout the school day. Now, as an assistant principal, I see the need
even more to provide movement opportunities for students to increase on-task behavior, remain
focused, concentrate better, and not to mention, that movement manifests learning!
Our First General Session Keynote Speaker is Dr. Stephen Jefferies, current SHAPE America
President, from Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA. Dr. Jefferies is the creator of
“pelinks4u”, an online magazine for education professionals. Dr. Jefferies will engage us in a discussion
and brainstorming session focusing on the future of physical education programs and services, and
how we can best meet the changing needs of our student to be successful academically, emotionally,
and physically.
Finally, I would like to thank the Park City School District for the use of their beautiful facilities.
It is greatly appreciated! Thank you to all SWD Board and UAHPERD Board members for yoursupport
of our organization and the time and talents given to the organization through your service. Thank you
also to our presenters and exhibitors for your willingness to serve all of us at this convention and to
provide attendees with resources, new ideas, research and activities to invigorate all of us to carry on
for another year and to “refill” our professional toolboxes. Vielen Dank und viel Spass!
Your President,
Ulrike Kerstges
UAHPERD President’s Letter
Welcome to the 2015 Conference! This year, the Utah Association for Health, Physical
Education, Recreation and Dance, is delighted to be a co-host of the 2015 SHAPE America Southwest
District Convention. What an exciting opportunity for all attendees to collaborate, engage in
meaningful professional development, and make new friends with individuals within the southwest
district and beyond!
The conference theme is “Learn to Move: Move to Learn: Active Kids Do Better!” The
message is clear… physical activity is important. Now is the time in our profession in which we must
advocate for more physical activity opportunities throughout the school day. This conference will
inspire you, provide opportunities to collaborate, and offer new ideas of how to get more physical
activity in the school environment. Take advantage of all this conference has to offer. I am excited
about the great keynote speakers including Steve Jefferies and Chris Spealler. In addition, there are
great conference sessions, such as Friday’s “Roadmap to Your CSPAP” which will inspire you with new
ideas, and ways to get students, staff, families, and your community more involved in physical activity.
Enjoy the sessions, presenters, vendors, and early bird sessions of this conference.
I want to thank the 2015 UAHPERD Board for their support and dedication to the organization.
Their ideas and hard work are key ingredients in conference success. I would also like to thank the
Southwest District SHAPE America Board for the opportunity to co-host an amazing conference. It has
truly been a pleasure to work with all of you.
I hope that your time spent at this conference is meaningful, and that you return to your
workplace with newfound excitement about your role in promoting physical activity. Thank you for all
that you do to promote healthy lifestyles. Learn, grow, and have fun in beautiful Park City, Utah!

“50 Million Strong by 2029”
Dr. Steve Jefferies has taught in the Department of Physical Education and Public Health at Central
Washington University in Ellensburg, WA since 1986. In 1999, Jefferies was recognized as the university’s
Distinguished Professor of Public Service. In addition to teaching, he created and directed summer PE
camps for children in grades K-8 for more than 20 years. Inspired by the interest of his 3rd grade son, he
created and led a weekly community program where he taught children unicycling and juggling skills. He
founded, and for many years coordinated PEAK, an annual statewide workshop for PE teachers. Jefferies
has been a PEP Grant consultant with several schools and was publicly elected to serve 8 years as school
board director. While school board Chair, his district successfully funded and built a new high school (with a
vertical rock wall and challenge course), and received a PEP grant. In 2000, Jefferies worked to create one
of the nation’s first online master’s degree programs for public school physical and health education
teachers. Concerned about the frequent turnover of school athletic directors, he recently led the creation of
an online athletic administration degree.
Jefferies received his Physical Education Teaching Certificate from St. Luke’s College in Devon,
England in 1973 and his B.Ed. from the University of Exeter in 1974. Steve taught public school physical
education before completing his MS and PhD degrees at the University of Oregon. Jefferies spent a year in
the USSR examining the youth sports system. After graduation he helped to develop materials and
presented for the American Coaching Effectiveness Program and edited books for Human Kinetics.
He has received numerous awards and appointments throughout his career. He twice served as
Vice-President of PE for the Washington AHPERD. In 2007, he was elected the Washington AHPERD
President and completed service as Chair of the Executive Committee for NASPE’s Council on Physical
Education for Children (COPEC). He received a NASPE Presidential Award in 2005, has served on the
NASPE Evidence-Based PE Committee, AAHPERD’s Research Consortium Grant Committee, and was on
both of the AAHPERD Vision Committees that recommended Alliance reforms. In 2008 he was elected
NASPE President. In 2010 he received the AAHPERD Honor Award, and in 2013 NASPE recognized his
service to physical education with its Joy of Effort Award. In 2014 Dr. Jefferies was selected as President
Elect of SHAPE America (formerly AAHPERD). He will serve as SHAPE America President in 2015-2016.
Dr. Jefferies is probably best known as creator and publisher of www.pelinks4u.org, the monthly
online magazine for physical education professionals. He also distributes a monthly emailed newsletter “PE
News” to more than 30,000 subscribers. He has written monthly online editorials for the past 14 years,
edited several books, and published over 25 journal articles. He created PE Today and Tomorrow a 15-tape
video series, Assessing Learning in Physical Education: Motor Skills (VHS) and The NEW Physical
Education: Promoting Healthy & Active Lifestyles (DVD). He has made over 90
professional presentations in the US and abroad. NASPE’s PE 2020 initiative was
inspired by Jefferies and through presentations and essays he continues to stimulate
discussion about the future of physical education. Join us in welcoming Dr. Jefferies to
the 2015 SWD SHAPE America & UAHPERD Annual Convention!

75. 2015 SWD SHAPE America Scholar Presentation: A Life Raft
for Physical Education: Implementing School Policies that Promote
Physical Activity
Research/Physical Education/Physical Activity/Health- Room 39
Despite physical education being acknowledged for its academic, health, and social
benefits and advocacy efforts on its behalf for inclusion in Common Core standards, its
presence in the curriculum continues to be marginalized. Quality physical education
programs that are skillfully taught will most likely not reverse physical education’s
decline. Creation and implementation of strong policy mandates at the highest levels of
state government represent underutilized recourses for reinvigorating physical
education. I will share the results of a study of the potential and reality of physical
education policy to increase energy expenditure and reduce the prevalence of
overweight. I will also share a current study on the physical education policies of California’s private
secondary schools, which collectively educate over 250,000 adolescents.
