  • (Mostly) great stuff

    Lots of great content. Very occasionally a dubious claim will be made, e.g. ‘syllabi are legal documents’ -this is one of the biggest, bogus tall-tales of HE!

  • Thank You!

    Just wanted to thank you for your contribution to the field. As an active health and PE teacher, I have always struggled to keep up with the new research within our discipline. This podcast has changed that. I am so incredibly grateful for it and am actively unpacking each episode to use it in my classroom. Thank you 10x over!!

  • Innovative!

    An innovative approach to getting important work out of the “ivory tower” and into the mainstream. I love these for undergraduate and graduate students because they are easily consumable. Fantastic contribution! Bravo!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

392: PE Teachers get an F in Health-Related Fitness Knowledge
Q: What does your study suggest about how PE programs are currently addressing the health-related fitness content?
It suggests significant inadequacies in how both traditional and alternative certification programs address health-related fitness knowledge, indicating a disconnect between theory taught and practical application needed in the field.
391: AIESEP Connect GoPE! and GoPA! Country Cards
Q: What are your initial thoughts in terms of how you're going to look at the next steps of using the wonderful country cards?
We try to make the knowledge accessible for our network and encourage our colleagues to reach out to policy makers using our resources.
388: AIESEP Connect Primary PE SIG launch
Q: If we wanted to go away from today and use the student voice, where would you recommend we start?
Start small. Don't try to implement every amazing idea at once, but rather, begin with something that feels manageable, like offering a choice of warm-up activity.
386: Human Flourishing in Physical Education
Q: What are some differences between human flourishing and other existing pedagogical approaches?
Human flourishing and social-emotional learning can complement each other but may focus on different aspects of character education.
380: Teaching with AI (a book club)
Q: How are you using artificial intelligence in your teaching?
Erin discussed integrating AI to help students become critical consumers of knowledge by allowing them to use AI in assignments but requiring them to reflect and cite its usage.
