In this episode, we explore the transformative potential of the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model in advancing social justice through physical education. Drawing on the work of Don Hellison and the TPSR Alliance, Dr. Michael Hemphill and Dr. Paul Wright reflect on decades of scholarship and practice that center youth development in underserved communities.
