Teacher & Student Involvement
|
Ohio’s National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) is a school curriculum taught during physical education class for a two-week period. The program is designed to teach International target archery skills to elementary, middle, and high school students. The program curriculum is already written and meets or exceeds national physical education standards. Get more information about the history of NASP. The core content covers archery safety, equipment, technique, mental concentration, and self improvement. The program positively influences student attendance, behavior, self-esteem, confidence, and on task behavior. Teachers attend a one-day Basic Archery Instructor training class to become certified before presenting the archery course to their students. Training is conducted by Division staff and volunteers who are certified Basic Archery Instructor Trainers and is provided at no cost to the teachers. Get more information about Teacher and Student Involvement.
The program, training, records, and information are all coordinated and maintained by the Ohio Division of Wildlife. Thanks to support from the archery industry, equipment kits valued at over $5,000.00 may be purchased by the schools for approximately $2,600.00. Sponsorship or grant money to purchase equipment kits can often be obtained from various sources, such as archery organizations, area conservation organizations, archery retailers, civic organizations, businesses, parent organizations, and/or student group fundraisers. NASP is an eligible program for many physical education grants. Schools may organize other fund raising events or use general fund money to purchase the kits. Get more information about ordering equipment.
The program also encourages cooperative involvement in the local community, between schools, local vendors, archery retailers, conservation clubs, and archery organizations. Link to Contact Information.
