What’s the impact of overweight on the

health of our future students?

What’s driving increases in overweight?

Nutrition-Related• Snack calories are increasing• Kids who drink soft drinks consume more

calories than kids who don’t drink soft drinks

• 1 in 5 MI high school students ate 5 servings of fruits/veggies per day*

• 1 in 6 MI high school students drank 3 glasses of milk daily (females less likely than males)**Michigan Youth Risk Behavior Survey, Weight and Nutrition Fact Sheet, 2003*Michigan Youth Risk Behavior Survey, Weight and Nutrition Fact Sheet, 2003

Physical Activity-Related• 62% 9-13 year olds do not participate in

organized physical activity during non-school hours*

• 23% of 9-13 year olds don’t engage in any free time physical activity*

• Daily participation in physical education class dropped from 42% in 1991 to 25% in 1995MI YRBS 2001

Research Shows Positive Health Behaviors May Lead to Increased Student Achievement

School Based Breakfast & Lunch Programs showed...

• Increased School Attendance– 8% decline in tardiness

• Greater Class Participation– 73% of staff surveyed in the first-year

MMFA schools reported an improvement in student attentiveness following the start of the program.

School Based Breakfast & Lunch Programs showed...

• Improved Emotional Behaviors– Suspensions were down from an average of 4.4

days per month to 2.8per month• Increased Academic Achievement

– MMFA schools saw a five-point increase in students who scored at or above the satisfactory level.

Physical Education

Physical Activity

While NCLB does not address qualifications needed to teach physical education, the Michigan state legislation and Michigan state board policy clearly address the issue.

State of Michigan•Requires physical education

certification to teach PE.

•Requires passing physical education certification examination.

•Has adopted the “Quality Physical Education Policy”.

Michigan’s Current State Law

On Physical Education

(1) Health and physical education for pupils of both sexes shall be established and provided in all public schools of this state. Subject to subsection (2), each pupil attending public school in this state who is physically fit and capable of doing so shall take the course in physical education.

Michigan’s Current State Law

On Physical Education

(2) A school district may credit a pupil’s participation in extracurricular athletics or other extracurricular activities involving physical activity as meeting the physical education requirement for the pupil under subsection (1).

School Code Sec. 380.1502 revised 1-9-96

Policy On Quality Physical Education

– New policy passed by the State Board of Education in October 2003.

– The State Board of Education recommends that all public schools offer physical education opportunities that include components of a quality physical education program.

– A quality PE program addresses: curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

Senator Cherry is sponsoring Bill 57:

• The Board of a school district or Board of Directors of a Public School Academy that operates an elementary school shall ensure that all of its pupils enrolled in the elementary grades participate in at least 30 minutes of physical activity per school day or 135 minutes of physical activity per school week. Participation in physical activities as part of the physical education curriculum may be counted to meet this requirement.

•Is currently working on grade level content expectations. (GLCE)

Grade Level Content Expectations

(GLCE)

– Aligned Content Expectations are a further breakdown of the current K-12 content standards & benchmarks. Developed for each content area.

– Prioritized to meet the needs of various P.E. programs.

– Aligned with EPEC.

– Currently in review process.

•Currently working on linking physical education to the 11 indicators of engagement in EducationYes!

EducationYes!

– Is Michigan’s Plan To Help School District’s Achieve No Child Left Behind Standards.

– Education Yes! includes eleven indicators of engagement that schools need to identify when completing their school self-assessment. Unfortunately physical education was not mentioned anywhere in the indicators.

– Links were made to show how physical education correlates to the eleven indicators.

– This document is in its final stages of completion.

Brain Breaks• Cross curricular collaboration!

• Physical activity in the classroom related to curriculum!

• We know that students who are physically active are more alert and have better concentration.

Research has shown that brain development is related to

movement and the development of motor skills

Brain Breaks• Research shows that school-based physical activity programs can help

students increase concentration, reduce disruptive behaviors, and improve scores in mathematics, reading and writing. 3-5

• Research also suggests a critical link relationship among movement/attention, spatial perception, and learning/memory in youth and adults, including those with special needs.6-7

PA/PE: Impact on Learning

• Physical Activity– Improves self image– Stimulates chemicals within the brain that improve

mood– Reduces stress and anxiety– Can significantly improve behavior

• A study at the State University of New York at Buffalo showed that exercise significantly improved behavior. Children ages 5-12 diagnosed with ADHD participated in 40 minutes of exercise, five days per week. Significant behavior was evident in as few as 3 weeks.

Recess contributes to social/emotional growth…

• “Recess” is one of the most popular responses children give for coming to school.• It is an outlet for reducing/lowering anxiety.• It provides an opportunity for solitary play.• Is an opportunity for different cultures to learn from

each other.• It encourages children to interact cooperatively.• It provides the opportunity for an assessment of a

child’s peer relationships.

Recess contributes to a child’s cognitive &

intellectual needs…• It provides the opportunity to pump

fresh oxygen into the body.• Students who do not get a break are

much more fidgety in the classroom.• It provides an opportunity to learn

from others.• It provides a chance for exploration &

creativity.

Recess addresses a child’s physical needs…

• Physical activity is essential for the healthy growth & development of a child.

• Recess provides opportunities for children to explore types of play regardless of gender stereotypes.

• Recess allows children to learn about their bodies capabilities.
