As George Graham takes us through the eight categories that he believes Physical Educators fall into in Part 1 of his series:\u00a0The Fall and Rise\u00a0of Physical Education<\/a><\/strong>, we assess his statements within our PE community. Now, 8 days before the PETE conference in Atlanta, George assesses the effectiveness of PETE programs, and offers his candid opinion on creating successful clinical faculty.<\/p>\n

Below is an introduction to Part 2 of the series. You can read the full post here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the second of four blogs I am writing related to K-12 physical education in the United States. In the first blog, the Fall and Rise of Physical Education<\/a>, I suggested that physical educators could be classified into eight related categories\u2014rollers, gamers, fitters, brainers, innovators, at-riskers, activators and teachers. The last category of the eight was teacher. For me this is the most desirable category of physical educator because in my view these individuals are attempting to implement quality programs that lead to the physical literacy of their students as defined in many of the Shape America documents. In my opinion it takes a great deal of knowledge, expertise and practical experience to become a teacher of physical education as defined in the previous blog. Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) programs are no doubt the major influence on whether an undergraduate becomes a teacher\u2014or one of the other seven categories of physical educator described in the previous blog.<\/p>\n

Typically future K-12 physical educators attend a college or university and major in a program that is designed to prepare them to teach in the schools. These programs often lead to state licensure or certification. Some PETE programs are more effective than others and their graduates begin their careers ready to begin implementing quality programs of physical education\u2014i.e. they are on their way to becoming teachers. Other graduates, however, appear to lack the prerequisite skills, background and understanding necessary to implement quality programs. Or perhaps, equally or more importantly, they lack the commitment and dedication to do the hard work necessary to develop quality programs in less than ideal environments.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
