Send us a text

In this episode, Dr. Aaron Beighle and I have an in-depth discussion about quality teaching and learning in physical education. In particular, we dive into a conversation about what teachers need to think more deeply about when planning for high quality virtual learning lessons. As well, we discuss our thoughts about how teachers might reframe what's possible in regards to the learning experiences they offer students in relation to important health and fitness outcomes in physical education.

Aaron is a not only a fantastic educator but a wonderful person who I am happy to have met and formed a friendship with. Thanks for being on the show for a second time Aaron.
