SHAPE America




SHAPE America — Society of Health and Physical Educators (formerly AAHPERD) — is the largest organization of physical educators in the country, with close to 20,000 members. SHAPE America created the first-ever K-12 physical education national standards; developed the Let’s Move in School public awareness campaign to increase physical activity before, during, and after school; and originated the Shape of the Nation Report, which reviews the status of physical education across the United States. Among its many partners, SHAPE America works with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, the American Heart Association, The Cooper Institute, First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative, and the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition.

 

The SHAPE America Online Store is where you’ll find quality SHAPE America products on a wide range of subjects for health and physical educators, dance educators, adapted physical education specialists, and related professionals 


SHAPE America is also the developer of Physical Best, a program of resources and training for K-12 physical educators. This health-related fitness education program provides the material teachers need for implementing health-related fitness education, including curriculum development and health-related fitness activities. Over 24 large school districts are currently using Physical Best as part of their curriculum.
