Date & Time: October 20, 2026 | 7:00–8:00 PM

This session is intentionally designed as a conversation rather than a traditional presentation.

Led by NHAHPERD Executive Director Jarrod Brooks and member Ian Pollard, participants will

engage in a collaborative discussion focused on using competencies and learning targets in the

Physical Education setting.

Ian and Jarrod will share insights and experiences from elementary, intermediate, and

secondary settings. Ian has been using competency based grading in his teaching for over 15

years and will discuss best practices in creating realistic and specific assessments.

Participants are encouraged to come ready to engage in the conversation, contribute their own experiences, and leave with practical strategies that can be implemented right away.

We hope you will join us for this first session as we begin building a professional learning community that extends beyond our annual conference and continues throughout the year.

Addition information will be sent to you after you register for the workshop so please register with an email you use often.
