This is the second blog from the September PETE Collaborative. This blog summarizes the vast amount of resources that were shared during the chat and discussion.
This blog was summarized by Dr. Emily Jones.
On September 10th, 2020 we hosted the 7th PETE collaborative. You can listen to it here. This session focused on the conversations around the following four topics:
Development of relationships and sense of program belonging with preservice teachers
Facilitating effective field experiences
Delivering activity and methods courses
Continuous professional learning for PETE faculty members
The blogs that will follow will summarize the resources that were shared during the discussion. It’s important to note that the goal of the collaborative this time was to focus on things that are going well and to share those resources. This blog covers the last two sections of our meeting.

Have you ever considered why you wanted to become a physical education teacher? Have you ever thought about what innovative pedagogy means to you? Do you consider yourself to be innovative? What does success look like in physical education? How do you facilitate this for all students?

Are you innovative or are you custodial in your practices, and where did your own beliefs come from?
Reminisce on your pre-teens years when your biggest concerns were the content of your lunchbox, what your friends were doing after school or getting your hands on the newest video game system. Were you concerned about your health at the time? Who most influenced your understanding of health and wellness? Do you think that you were properly educated on what it meant to be healthy and how to get there?
We discuss research, theory and current issues in the fields of health and physical education in an easy to understand way. Our aim is to make research accessible to educators and university students from all over the globe.
