Registration link is below.

Intended Audience: PK–12 school or district leaders with oversight and responsibility for Comprehensive Health and Physical Education (CHPE) programming and instruction or their designee.

The Comprehensive Health and Physical Education Leaders Network (CHPELN) is a professional network and community of learners that includes PK–12 Comprehensive Health and Physical Education district and school leaders in MA. This network supports the whole student through Professional Learning that centers culturally and linguistically sustaining, evidence-based practices that relate to student physical, mental, and social emotional health and well-being while increasing engaged attendance and decreasing chronic absenteeism. Members of the CHPELN engage in collaborative discussions relevant to their role as CHPE leaders within their districts. There are opportunities to expand professional networks, share resources and strategies around equitable implementation of the MA curriculum frameworks using high-quality instructional materials (HQIM), and provide input on DESE initiatives. During the 2024-25 school year, there will be a mix of in-person and virtual meetings that include professional development, informal connection, and mentoring for leaders new in their role.

Note: In-person sessions may have hybrid components. Any session may switch to all-virtual depending on weather and public health concerns. More details will be made available in early September. Agendas and prework will be sent at least one week in advance to allow participants to schedule their time accordingly.
