Educators play a critical role in the success of students. As such, all educators are called on to continually improve their practice. Professional learning is the single most accessible method by which educators can grow and learn as professionals. Below are resources to support professional learning for Comprehensive Health and Physical Education (CHPE) in Massachusetts schools and districts.
Please join us for upcoming webinar opportunities to support CHPE implementation.

Webinars will run from 2:30–3:30pm and will be recorded. Links will be sent the day before the webinars. Register
Come spend the day learning about what service-learning is and what it isn't. Learn the steps to develop a high-quality service-learning unit that integrates academic, social and civic outcomes through CHPE Framework practices and topics.
