Ms. Warren noted the research of Matthew T. Mahar and colleagues at the Activity Promotion Laboratory, Department of Exercise and Sport Science, East Carolina University’s research, “Effects of a classroom-based program on physical activity and on-task behavior,” The research was cited by the Illinois Enhanced P.E. Task Force as showing that “Children who participate in short bouts of physical activity within the classroom have more on-task behavior, with the best improvement seen in students who are least on-task initially.” As a new teacher, Ms. Warren shared that it is important to her to have a choice in professional organizations so that she can obtain knowledge related to her profession, as well as influence its outcomes. Her interest in the “continuous innovation of the teaching profession” influenced her decision to choose NWPE as her association of choice. “Northwest Professional Educators promotes and provides for the implementation of useful resources and best practice into the classroom.” NWPE is proud to support Ms. Taylor and her students and wish her a long and happy career as a professional educator!

The grant will enable Ms. Warren to provide accommodations for students who require physical movement to succeed academically, along with allowing for students to develop their choice of modifications to advance their own success, thus, increasing their accountability and self-awareness.
