The following professional development courses were created in collaboration with OSPI, SHAPE WA, and over 20 physical educators from across Washington State.

These courses have taken the knowledge gleaned from physical educators’ experiences providing online physical education throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and distilled it into professional development opportunities meant to support physical educators in providing quality online physical education now and in the future.

These courses are available for free on WELNET®. Self-register for the courses using the hyperlinks provided below (either by logging in with your existing WELNET® account or registering as a new user).
