This podcast introduces the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model. Dr. Wright introduces the model that was created by his mentor Don Hellison. This impactful model has been widely researched and is one of the core curriculum models being implemented in physical education. This podcast aligns with Episode 13 as Dr. Wright discusses the TARE instrument that was designed to measure practice that uses TPSR.

Dr. Wright is a professor at Northern Illinois University and specializes in the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) instructional model. His scholarship is very applied and relates directly to fields such as positive youth development, social and emotional learning, and sport for development. He also has interests in policy and program evaluation as it relates to youth sport and physical activity.

Dr. Paul Wright discusses an instrument he developed to assess responsibility-based education and the TPSR model more broadly. A separate theory breakdown is posted on TPSR with this article.

This podcast describes the continuing work on the SWITCH program out of Iowa State University. It is a whole-school wellness program that encompasses way more than PE, and has years of research behind it.

We talk with Dr. Gabriella McLoughlin who is currently a post-doctoral research associate in the department of Kinesiology at Iowa State University. Her research focuses on children’s physical activity and health promotion, specifically targeting the school environment through comprehensive interventions. She is a licensed K-12 Physical Education Teacher and seeks to enhance the status of physical education as an integral aspect of the school curriculum and as a means to cultivate health-promoting school environments. She is currently working with Dr. Greg Welk and other professors at Iowa State and other institutions to deliver the School Wellness Integration Targeting Child Health (SWITCH) study (as described in the podcast), which is funded by the United Stated Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In addition she works to evaluate the NFL Fuel up to Play 60 program in conjunction with FitnessGram research and the Cooper Institute, conduct lab-based studies integrating measurement of physical activity, and works with physical education teachers across the state of Iowa to enhance their use of assessment and data-based decision making.

Dr. Shrehan Lynch describes feminist theory in this short podcast. She offers lots of further reading, specifically by bell hooks, to get more information but this is a great "reductionist" view of feminism to introduce the theory and how it relates to her article we discuss in Episode 12.

Episode 8 is our first "special topics" episode. So, instead of highlighting one specific article and discussing the paper we have a conversation about the topic in general and pull from various sources. These are going to be less structured and more free-flowing. This episode is a continuation of Episode 6 with Justen O'Connor and Dillon Landi. We discuss issues in youth sports, informal sports and the future of participation in PA.

Dr. Erin Centeio breaks down the Social Ecological Framework as a supplement to her podcast (episode 7)
