ADVOCACY

John Dooley/ Gopher SportJohn is the Gopher Territory Sales Manager with whom many WHPE members are well acquainted. Since 1983, John and Gopher have sponsored numerous WHPE Convention and Best Practices related activities and many keynote speakers. They are one of the best partners WHPE can have and recognition of such via this Advocacy Award

is long overdue. WHPE thanks John /Gopher while looking forward to growing this relationship in the future.

Brian Goodmanson/Skatetime School ProgramsBrian and his boss, Jim Schwind have had a similar partnership with WHPE to that of Gopher. As representatives of Skatetime, they have sponsored our Convention favors (initially bags, and now diversifying to other items) for over 20 years resulting in having contributed $21,000+

to supplement WHPE Convention budgeting. It is long past time to acknowledge what Brian and Jim have done via advocacy to assist the WHPE Mission. WHPE recognizes past efforts and we are hopeful to continue this partnership. Thank you Skatetime!

Tom Strenger/ US GamesTom is the Midwest Regional Rep for US Games. They have conducted a picnic during Best practices and have contributed to Convention activities over many years. Most recently, Tom made the commitment to sponsor a session for WASB for 2019 (unfortunately, the proposal was not selected for inclusion, but has been resubmitted for 2020). US Games’ support and advocacy for the WHPE TOY’s was evident during 2018 Convention with the honoring of some 30+ past TOY’s

receiving a ¼ zip pull over and additional recognition and support for the newly selected TOY’s. Because of the commitment shown to the WHPE Mission thru these activities, we recognize Mr. Strenger / US Games, looking forward to continued partnerships to advocate for quality HPE.

FUTURE PROFESSIONAL LEADERSHIPMcKenzie KirtzMcKenzie is a UW –La Crosse student with an over all GPA of 3.8+. She is the Future Professional VP for both WHPE and Midwest and showing service beyond the university level. In addition to her course studies, McKenzie has contributed to PEM club as it President, APE coaching, YMCA instructor and on the University Track Team. Most recently, she assisted two WHPE/SHAPE members during their Tampa

session and was the recipient of the SHAPE Abernathy Presidential Scholarship. WHPE recognizes Ms. Kirtz for contributions involving leadership extending far beyond her young age and we are hopeful once graduated, that she will remain in WI to teach and contribute to our HPE profession.

PROMISING PROFESSIONALDakota BergMr. Berg teaches in MPS at Milwaukee High School of the Arts having graduated from Carroll University. He is certified HPE and APE and also acts as his school’s Athletic Director. According to his award nominator, ‘Dakota has made a difference’ since his initial employment.

He has changed the Health focus from one of lecture to engagement involving student- centered standards based learning. Dakota is a DPI Health Cadre member who promotes skills based education involving collaboration and authentic assessment. The school’s PE curriculum has also been upgraded to reflect physical literacy with inclusion as a result of his work. Mr. Berg uses outside agencies to combine learning with practical living. He has completely reversed a once substandard HPE program to offer current students opportunities connecting to life situations. This enthusiastic young teacher is most deserving of this award and WHPE commends and recognizes his efforts.

He has done a TV Outdoor ED piece, helped his students sail (SEAS) on Lake Michigan, acted as a PEP Director and coordinates the high school volunteers for a collaborative SASD 50 Million Strong endeavor. His classroom is driven by standards and infused with authentic assessment such as a field trip to WI Dells where students have to set up tents, cook, and climb/ hike in teams.

now emphasizes standards, assessments, and innovation whereby PETE graduates are not only prepared to teach, but understand the need for continued career professional development and professional association membership. Dr. Sazama serves on many University committees in addition to her roles on the BOD for WHPE and Midwest. Likewise, she has worked at the national SHAPE level and facilitates educational camps and advises the LAX PEM Club. Deb Sazama is indeed representative of a distinguished teacher and truly deserves this WHPE TOY award.
