Each month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes an outstanding school, student, staff member, parent, or community member for a display of excellence, achievement, and innovation that may serve as an example to our school district and the entire Milwaukee community.
This month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is pleased to present the “Excellence in Education Award” to:
Brett Fuller
Brett Fuller, health and physical education curriculum specialist for MPS, has been honored with the Channing Mann Physical Education Administrator of the Year Award by SHAPE America – the Society of Health and Physical Educators. A skilled and passionate educator who is committed to the physical, emotional and academic health of students, Fuller embodies the Channing Mann Award criteria of leadership, service, advocacy and contributions to the curriculum. He received the Channing Mann Award at the SHAPE America Celebration of Professional Excellence Ceremony.
The award-winning administrator is responsible for curriculum, supervision, mentoring, assessment and providing professional services for health and physical education within MPS; his work supports 150 physical education specialists. After more than 20 years in education, Fuller’s philosophy centers upon the ideal of teaching students to be healthy for a lifetime. He believes in improving health and physical education at the district level, within Wisconsin, and nationally.
Fuller was a key member of a collaborative effort to reduce teen pregnancy in Milwaukee by 65 percent since 2007; his work included revising and implementing MPS Human Growth and Development Curriculum for K5-9th grade. He led the implementation of the SPARK curriculum for all K-8 students in MPS, resulting in an increase of moderate to vigorous physical activity in physical education classes from an initial 37 percent to 59 percent of classroom time, resulting from in-district collaborations with Marquette University and the Medical College of Wisconsin. The collaborative also created physical activity and nutrition videos for classroom teachers. The creation of a K-12 standards-based report card also supports student health by teaching students to be physically literate. Finally, more than 100 MPS schools are now Let's Move! Active Schools.
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognize and honor Brett Fuller, for his dedication, outstanding leadership, and commitment to excellence on behalf of the students of the Milwaukee Public Schools.
