PE Conference Presentation

HOOPS!? What do you do with THESE??

We were given the opportunity to present a Pro-D workshop at the Physical Education Conference at VIU this semester. As a circus performer and teacher, I was eager to help my peers in their journey to become well rounded, multifaceted professionals. I was joined by two of my cohort to create a resource on Hooping. This unit is intended to provide teachers with the knowledge and confidence to be able to design and teach a unit with the equipment on hand.
