The Infinite Learners Podcast Infinite Leaders: Live #17 Nate Babcock
Nate Babcock is a PE teacher, former Basketball coach and author of the thought-provoking blog ‘EmanciPLAYtion’. He is based in California, USA.
This one was a fascinating and prescient look at where not just PE, but education could be heading in the future.
Bursting at the seams with philosophical references, Nate shares his knowledge of theory and practice within academia to illustrate why PE is so important and how it can be the foundation of building better people and systems.
He describes how his classes have ‘One Law’, why educators should be focusing less on being good teachers and instead on facilitating ‘good education’ and why as humans trying to be well attached with ourselves and others, we should be supporting and respectful of one another on our journey through life.
This is a deep, rich and incredibly thought provoking conversation that begins to highlight the very reason teachers exist.
Listen. Learn. Share.
Hosted by Lewis Keens and Alan Dunstan.
Lewis and Alan discuss research, look at trends and have a good chat with the odd guest to support those working in education to be better educators and be better humans.
