I joined EtonHouse International Pre-School in August 2007, drawn to the school for its vision to establish 'Reggio Inspired' early childhood education in Singapore. In June 2008, I became Pre-School Director of the school. I moved to Switzerland in August 2011 to become one of the Assistant Principals at the International School of Zug and Luzern. At ISZL, I have developed, in partnership with teachers and other school leaders, a vision for the early years programme at the school. This new direction places a strong emphasis on quality learning environments, both in and outdoors and on making teaching and learning visible to others through pedagogical documentation. In July 2015 I moved back to The Netherlands. I started my own educational consultancy company 'The Learning Square' and work at the IB office in the Hague with the PYP development team.

PE 4 Every Kid with Mike Graham

Mon, 27 Nov 2017 04:28:19 +0000

Mike Graham @pe4everykid https://pe4everykid.weebly.com

I am starting my 21st year of teaching Physical Education. While this is my second year at Williamsburg Elementary, I have spent the last 15 years here in Geneva split between some of the other elementary buildings within the District. I am truly blessed to be working in a profession I love within a district that prides itself in a deep "tradition of excellence" in education.

In addition to teaching, I coach wrestling at St. Charles North HS. I also serve on the Social Media committee for our State Organization (the Illinois Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance - IAHPERD). I help manage the organization's social media accounts and promote all the great things going on within the organization and around the #physed world. I'm really excited about my newest adventure as the President-Elect of the Northern District of IAHPERD and helping further the profession at the state level.

When I'm not teaching or coaching, I like to spend my time at home. I enjoy hanging out with friends and neighbors. Some of my personal hobbies include: FISHING, listening to music, staying physically active in various pursuits, DIY projects around the house, carpentry construction, and following college wrestling.

I'm looking forward to another great year in P.E. I have lots of exciting things planned this year and can't wait to share my passion for getting and staying active with all of you!

A look at Research with Shrehan Lynch

Mon, 25 Sep 2017 19:44:57 +0000

Sheehan Lynch: I am a 27 year old doctoral student at the University of Alabama studying Sport Pedagogy. I moved to the United States in 2015 after teaching Physical Education in an inner London school, England. I played almost every sport growing up and am one of those annoying sports people who is just ‘lucky’ enough to pick up new sports. I keep myself fairly active by running and swimming regularly. I have learnt an incredible amount throughout my time at the university and my thoughts on education as a whole have changed. I feel we are always learning and always in the act of becoming. My research interests are linked to critical and transformative pedagogy, social justice issues and qualitative research. My passion lies with providing each and every child in schools with an inclusive, thought provoking educational opportunity within PE.

Keeping Active in Mind and Body to Enhance Student Opportunities in Education.

MrHairPhysEd.weebly.com

Andy Hair: I am a Physical Education and Physical Literacy Coach based in Geelong, Australia. My goals in life are to see students excel and achieve their dream and be able to be confident to enjoy everything they do. My PE moto is DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE. Outside of the Gym I live a very active life. I am passionate about Ironman Triathlons pushing myself to my own personal goals each day of the week. I feel it is great to have role models and people to look up to. I am determined to create an environment and culture for students that is diverse and challenging. With prediction comes comfortability. With uncertainty comes risk taking and growth. My direction in education is to leave a legacy for students and teachers than is considered unique and inspiring. Students deserve to be challenged each and every time they are involved in Physical Activity. In recent times I founded the Aussie PhysEd Network linking 100s of Physical Education Teachers through conversations and individual pursuits across Australia. As a result we have seen an increase in academic performance by these teachers searching for best practise models and in turn many have become influential leaders to others through out network.
