                                                                                                        We believe that professional development is a key component to promoting quality physical education. Unfortunately, some forms of professional development comes with a financial cost that many teachers are unable to meet. Two examples include membership into state, regional, or national Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance organizations (HPERD) and attendance of their annual conferences. These costs of approximately $100 and $200 respectively (2010) and do not include the cost of travel, hotel, lost wages, and other incidental expenses.
