What PhysEd Conferences Get Wrong!

During the 8 years that the PE Geek website has been in operation, I have been fortunate to present at and attend numerous physical education conferences all over the globe. While these conferences have been great for meeting other physical education teachers, they seem to get one important element fundamental wrong…..

Professional Development.

Yes, you heard me correctly. Most Physical Education conferences get professional development, their core premise completely wrong. This comes down to the fact that most conferences are flash-in-the-pan professional development experiences that come and go so fast, that sustained long-term professional growth is really hard to achieve.

This is rooted on the fact that most conferences are concentrated on two days, having virtually zero support in the lead-up and follow-up to the event. The net result is that you leave a conference feeling extremely excited and enthused about what you’ve learnt, however, on return to school, you quickly shift back to normality resulting in little professional growth.

It’s proof that the traditional conference model is completely flawed.

This is why in 2016, I’ve made it my mission to create a Physical Education Conference like NO other.
