Colorado Health and Physical Education Summit 2026

This session highlights how ABLE In School uses Clara, AI‑supported tool, to save educators time while enhancing instructional quality in physical education. Participants will explore how a web‑based platform aligns PE activities to any U.S. state’s adopted standards, ensuring instruction remains compliant, purposeful, and effective.
 
Attendees will be introduced to Clara, ABLE’s AI‑powered assistant, which allows educators to modify, adapt, or enhance any unit-based lessons in real time to meet diverse student needs, abilities, and learning environments. Through practical examples, the session will demonstrate how AI supports lesson planning, differentiation and modifications, and student engagement—while keeping educators firmly in control of instructional decisions. ABLE is a controlled, education‑aligned AI tool built specifically to support physical educators, empowering them to deliver high‑quality, inclusive instruction with greater efficiency and confidence.
 
Session outcomes: Understand how AI tools can reduce planning time while maintaining high‑quality, standards‑aligned physical education instruction in real time!

Move Through Yoga empowers students of all abilities with trauma-conscious, adaptive yoga techniques that enhance self-regulation, inclusion, and engagement. This session will explore how integrating movement, breathwork, and co-regulation into the special education classroom, and unified PE can support learning, reduce anxiety, and foster social connection among neurodiverse and physically diverse students.

Assessment in physical education is complex. Large class sizes, movement-based learning, and limited time often push grading toward “participation points” rather than meaningful evidence of student learning. This interactive, hands-on session is designed specifically for K–12 physical education teachers who want to use artificial intelligence (AI) to make assessment more efficient, more aligned to standards, and more impactful.
Participants will learn practical strategies for using AI to generate standards-aligned rubrics, formative assessments, and cognitive and affective learning checks. Through guided demonstrations and structured practice, teachers will apply effective prompting techniques to create tools tailored to their own upcoming units. The session will also demonstrate how AI can assist with analyzing skill progress, identifying trends in student data, and informing instructional decisions.
Importantly, this workshop emphasizes ethical, safe, and responsible AI use in schools—protecting student privacy while maintaining teacher judgment and professional expertise. Attendees will leave with ready-to-use prompts, templates, and clear boundaries for implementation, ensuring AI enhances, rather than replaces, high-quality physical education teaching and learning.

This session will review daily routines teachers can implement to support students throughout their elementary school experience. These routines not only strengthen classroom management and student accountability, but also support ongoing assessment and help teachers better understand student learning.
