About the Webinar

Leading a physical education curriculum adoption is a complex, high impact process that influences instruction, equity, and student outcomes for years. This webinar gives district coordinators a clear, strategic roadmap from early planning through implementation.

Hear from Cody Shevlin, District PE Coordinator at Omaha Public Schools, as he shares best practices learned while leading a full PE curriculum adoption for one of the nation’s largest districts.

You’ll learn how to build a successful PE curriculum adoption plan, including how to:
• Plan and prepare your adoption process: establish timelines, identify district priorities, and form a representative review committee.
• Develop strong proposals: craft a clear Request for Proposal (RFP), prepare recommendations, navigate board approval, and choose the best-fit curriculum.
• Evaluate and compare vendors effectively: recruit aligned partners, conduct meaningful reviews/field tests, and gather stakeholder feedback to choose the best-fit curriculum.

You’ll walk away with practical strategies, timelines, and tools to plan and lead a successful physical education curriculum adoption.
