    83. Adapting Curling and the Winter Games for Schools PE/HE CONSORTIUM

    Program: 2025-2026 - PE and HE Consortium

    Audience: Members of the 2025-2026 PE/HE Consortium

    Dates: 12/16/2025

    Get ready for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy! This session highlights one of the original sports from the first Winter Olympics in 1924-Curling. Participants will learn how to curl on ice at the Ardsley Curling Club and explore practical ways to bring curling into their own PE programs. Curling is an engaging sport to teach because it combines skill, teamwork, etiquette, sportsmanship, and fair play. For younger students, the scoring is simple-stones closest to the target earn points-while older students can connect the game to classroom concepts such as acceleration, force, friction, deceleration, and angles. Beyond curling, we will also examine how the Winter Olympics has evolved over time and share ideas for incorporating other events into physical education, including skating (figure and speed), ice hockey, bobsleigh, ski jumping and more. Instruction will be both on and off the ice, and participants will receive videos and resources they can use directly with their students.

    What does it mean to prepare students not only for academic success, but for life as thoughtful, engaged, and future-ready citizens? This session supports secondary ELA and Social Studies educators in designing instruction aligned to New York State's Portrait of a Graduate, with a focus on authentic literacy, Project-Based Learning (PBL), and civic readiness.

    Participants will explore how ELA and Social Studies instruction can cultivate key attributes of the Portrait of a Graduate, including for students to be: Academically Prepared through engagement with NYS Learning Standards; Critical Thinkers who analyze and evaluate sources to make evidence-based arguments; Effective Communicators who express their ideas compellingly while listening actively and considering diverse perspectives; Global Citizens who apply civic knowledge and ethical reasoning to real-world issues; and Reflective and Future-Focused Learners who set goals, engage in self-reflection, and make decisions that support their success.

    Through collaborative planning, discussion, and models of PBL and civic learning, educators will develop strategies to integrate these competencies into unit and lesson design-positioning students as readers, writers, thinkers, and citizens who are motivated and prepared to thrive in college, career, and civic life.

    The full day session will be followed by optional Zoom sessions in the following months focused on classroom application.
