Getting Involved

The Alberta Teachers Association's Health and Physical Education Council is a dynamic group of teachers who are interested in promoting and improving the state of:

 

• Lesson delivery
• Professional development
• Long range professional outlook

 

Your first step in getting involved with HPEC is to attend one of the regional drive-in workshops. Please contact your Regional Representative (see HPEC Regions for more information) to find out when your next drive-in workshop will be held.

 

A definite 'must do' for any HPEC member, is the annual conference.  It is held in a different region each year to allow equal access for participants.  It is two plus days of education and fun.  You will come away with the knowledge and energy to bolster your existing health and phys. ed. programs. 

 

Click on Conferences & Events to find out more information on this.  While you are at it, perhaps you have something you would like to contribute in the way of a session or activity at the next HPEC conference or teachers convention.  Check out our Twitter Page or contact your Regional Representative for more information on how you can become a presenter.

 

Still wanting to do more, and get more out of your HPEC membership?  Time to go to the HPEC Publications connection on this website, where you can read archived versions of the acclaimed HPEC publication called The Runner.  This publication has received accolades from other national bodies in similar fields.  The Runner editor is constantly looking for articles of interest, research, and applicable activities for Monday morning!  Maybe it is time for you to turn your ideas and lessons into a professional publication.  It will elevate your thinking and your standing amongst your peers.

 

The next step is to become part of that dynamic group of HPEC members who volunteer their time to lead their peers to higher quality curriculum delivery.  If this is something that you would like to undertake - Check out our Available Executive Positions, consider filling out an Executive Member Form or contact the HPEC president or vice president indicating your interest in becoming a part of the Health and Physical Education Council.
