Title: What the HETE?! Exploring Critical Issues, Potential Solutions & Collaboration Opportunities for PETE & HETE

Description: This PETE Collaborative session will include a panel of health educators and health education teacher education (HETE) professionals who will share their perspectives on the critical issues facing HETE and explore potential solutions. The discussion will aim to foster a greater understanding of essential knowledge and skills for beginning health educators and examine possibilities for stronger alignment/collaboration between HETE and physical education teacher education (PETE) programs. The panelists will explore options for effective redesign or program structures in teacher education and teacher training (e.g., dual-licensure, co-designed courses, joint faculty appointments, dual-listed courses, once-off course offerings, etc.) to prepare health and physical educators for today and tomorrow’s schools and students.

Risto is joined by Tori Shiver, Erin Centeio, Kevin Richards and Michael Hemphill to do another article club... this time it’s an article by Gloria Ladson-Billings, she literally wrote the book and developed the phrase culturally relevant pedagogy. Ladson-Billings published an article late in 2021 in the journal EQUITY and EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION titled “I’m Here for the Hard Re-Set: Post Pandemic Pedagogy to Preserve Our Culture” So, that’s what we’re here to discuss.

The PETE collaborative is a meeting of (mostly) US PETE professors and graduate students who meet monthly to discuss key issues in the field. This is the audio recording from the 2022 February meeting. 

Title: Developing Innovative PETE Programs to Envision a Favorable Future for the Field

Description: Aligned with the theme of #ForTheLoveofHPE week, this meeting of the PETE collaborative will focus on the role of PETEfaculty members and programs in developing a more favorable future for physical education. Fueled by the need to be innovative, we will discuss best-practice strategies that are being used in some PETEprograms to more effectively work with schools and prepare preservice teachers. Program representatives will be invited to share strategies found to be effective in their contexts; time for discussion and idea sharing will be prioritized. A central question address will be: how can we create better PETE programs today to prepare better teachers for tomorrow? Come with your ideas to share!

The Mission of the Spectrum Institute for Teaching and Learning is to promote, enhance, disseminate, and propagate the Spectrum of Teaching Styles. The Spectrum of Teaching Styles is a theory based on learner and teacher decision-making, and guided by four values, (a) universal, (b) non-versus, (c) non-idiosyncratic, and (d) common terminology.  The Spectrum Institute for Teaching and Learning will provide a focus/center/means for teachers, teacher educators, pedagogical scholars, and curriculum developers to study and perfect the art and science of teaching through the Spectrum of Teaching Styles.
