About
OVERVIEW

The California Physical Education-Health Project began in 1994, with the statewide offices located on the California State University, Fullerton campus. Under the direction of Margaret Elliot, CPE-HP is providing teachers and other professionals opportunities to create a deeper understanding of the two disciplines on which these subjects are based. Through readings, discussions, and reflections, CPE-HP participants will examine the commonalties and distinctions of the two subjects, ultimately to sharpen presentation of content to increase the impact on instruction for students. Teacher leadership is promoted through participating in self-reflective activities (writing, critical discussion, research), coaching or mentoring project colleagues, and filling a variety of project leadership positions.

In July, 1995, CPE-HP held the inaugural summer leadership institute on the Fullerton campus. This was the first opportunity for participants to experience, in the CPE-HP setting, some of the principles and tenets of the California Subject Matter Projects, including teacher leadership, diversity and equity issues, engaging in intensive studies of the subject matter, long term investment in professional development, and creating opportunities for teacher leaders to reach out to large numbers of their colleagues.

Over these past years CPE-HP has enjoyed continued support by the teacher participants, site directors and advisory board members. To date CPE-HP has served 700 teachers throughout the state of California.

Presently, CPE-HP continues to foster professional development for teachers by offering three fully operating sites, BayPEHP at San Jose State University; NorthPEHP at Chico State and Costa Del Sur at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, as well as an active recruitment of planning sites around California. We hope to expand programs into all regions of the state to provide access to our program for all interested teachers
