Resources for Teachers and Schools

Education, sport and physical fitness are closely intertwined, with many agencies working on initiatives that cross over these areas. Here are a few links to online information about some of these initiatives:

  • Schools have a key role to play in promoting healthy living. The Action Schools BC! initiative has created planning guides and other resources for teachers and schools to help create action plans to help achieve this goal. These and other resources are available at their website.
  • Increased choice and flexibility in the British Columbia education and sport systems is the goal of the Student Athlete Achievement Project. This joint initiative of PacificSport and 2010 Legacies Now is working to encourage achievement and excellence in both disciplines. See their website for more information.
  • The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games is developing education programming and resources relating to sport. Check the Education Resources section of their website for more information.
  • The Healthy Schools Network addresses a variety of academic, social and emotional concerns of students through a comprehensive school health approach. See the network website for more information.
