PETE/HETE program coordinator's primary responsibility is to prepare the next generation of health and physical educators for P-12 landscape. Often times, however, college programs unintentionally omit local P-12 professionals from programming. In this session, students and faculty from Benedictine College seek to bring future professionals and pedagogues together to share ideas and strategies for building relationships with local schools and teachers to 1) benefit professional development of teacher candidates, 2) reinvigorate P-12 teachers, and 3) engage P-12 students in a variety of health and physical education programming. The format of this session will be 1/2 presentation and 1/2 round table discussion!
