In this workshop you will look at the theoretical and practical application of inclusion in physical education (PE) through the use and implementation of Paralympic Sports.

The growing rates of overweight and obesity among our youth are highly publicized. Health professionals and other adults working with this population can take action steps towards preventing eating concerns. They can also work with already overweight children and teens appropriately so that the goal of weight loss or stabilization happens without negative emotional side effects.

This workshop explores liability and ethical issues that affect teachers, coaches, nurses, and other school personnel who provide direct services to students. This practical discussion will focus on current cases in the NH courts and outline ways to minimize the risk of student injury and reduce potential liability. You'll consider examples of safety liability in the schools and discuss the duty of school personnel to supervise students and prevent student-to-student injury. You'll also learn about: the practical limitations of releases and permission slips under state law; the need for proper record keeping; and issues concerning insurance and governmental immunity. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and share relevant experiences.
Instructor: Jay Boynton, J.D., is a practicing attorney specializing in school law. He has more than 20 years of experience representing the interests of schools in the NH state courts and in administrative settings. He is a frequent speaker on school law topics.
