Workshops · Coming back

PE Geek Workshops are coming back.

For more than a decade I ran in-person workshops in 40+ countries — and online cohorts whenever I couldn't fly. After a few years off, the workshop is coming back as something different: 4 weeks, async, small cohort, all the practical stuff that actually changes how you teach.

Where this comes from

A decade of workshops. 40+ countries. Thousands of teachers.

The PE Geek workshop has run on three continents, in school halls and gyms, in hotel ballrooms and convention centres, on Zoom calls before Zoom was famous. It's never been a slide-deck performance — it's hands-on, you-leave-with-something-you-can-use-Monday. The new format keeps that DNA, just delivered async so it fits your week instead of your week fitting it.

Practical — nothing you can't use this term
How the next one works

4 weeks. Async. Built around what you actually need.

One module each week, dropped on Wednesdays. Watch when it suits — at 6am with a coffee or at 9pm after pack-up. Optional assignments you can share with the cohort and get feedback on, from me directly. Small group. Lifetime access. About 8–12 hours total over the four weeks.

01

Async, not abandoned

One video module per week, plus practical exercises. You set the pace. I'm in the cohort space every day responding to what people share.

02

Real feedback, not auto-graders

Share your assignments and you'll get a personal response from me — not a checklist, not a generated comment. The same feedback I gave 1:1 in face-to-face workshops.

03

Small cohort, real conversation

Capped intake so you actually know who else is in the room. Comments, questions, and shared experiments are encouraged — not a content-dump course.

04

Lifetime access

Modules, recordings, templates, and the cohort discussion stay yours forever. Come back next year and rewatch any module in 5 minutes.

What we'll cover

The four-week arc

Topics for the first cohort. Final syllabus will be locked once the launch date is set.

Week 01 Drops Wednesday Week 1

AI in the PE classroom — what's worth using, what isn't

The honest tour. Lesson planning, game generation, video feedback, on-device tools. Where AI saves you time vs. where it just adds a step.

Week 02 Drops Wednesday Week 2

Video feedback that doesn't take all weekend

Capture, annotate, return. The exact workflows I use to give individual student feedback on movement skills in under 90 seconds per clip.

Week 03 Drops Wednesday Week 3

Building your own tools without writing code

Custom rubrics, classroom timers, score tools, parent updates. What modern AI builders make possible for non-coders, with PE-specific examples.

Week 04 Drops Wednesday Week 4

Your tech-in-PE stack for the next 12 months

Bring it together. We'll build your personal stack — the 5–10 tools you'll actually use this year — and the simple workflows that keep them in rotation.

Is this for you?

Who shows up

  • PE teachers wanting to use tech with intention, not novelty
  • Department heads building a stack for the whole faculty
  • Coaches and PD providers translating the workshop back to their teams
  • Anyone who's been to a PE Geek workshop before and wants the next chapter
  • Teachers in any country — the cohort is international, the timezone is yours
What it isn't

Set expectations

  • No live weekly sessions — intentionally async so it works in any timezone
  • No grades, no assessment, no "pass / fail"
  • No formal certification — just a completion badge if you finish all four modules
  • Not a replacement for in-person PD with your team — a complement to it

First cohort · 2026

Get on the list.

Drop your email and you'll be the first to hear when the date and final syllabus are locked. First 50 on the list get founding-cohort pricing — meaningfully below whatever the public price ends up at.

No spam. One announcement when the launch date drops, then the quarterly PE Geek newsletter if you'd like it.

Common questions

Frequently asked

When does the first cohort start?

The launch date will be set once the waitlist hits a critical mass. Realistically, first half of 2026. People on the waitlist hear first.

How much will it cost?

Public pricing is being finalised. Founding-cohort pricing for the first 50 people on the waitlist will be meaningfully lower than whatever the public price ends up at.

Do schools or districts get a deal?

Yes — bulk enrolments for school PD budgets and PO-based payments are available. Note that on the waitlist signup or email [email protected].

What if I can't keep up week-by-week?

You won't fall behind — modules stay open and you have lifetime access. The cohort discussion is most active when modules drop, but the materials don't expire.

What gear / software do I need?

A laptop or iPad, a recent web browser, and access to a class (or a hypothetical class to run experiments against). Specific tools used in each week will be listed in the final syllabus — most are free or have free tiers.

I came to a PE Geek workshop in 2014 / 2017 / 2019 — will this be different?

Yes. Same DNA — practical, opinionated, hands-on — but fully redesigned around how teachers actually consume PD now. Async, smaller cohort, AI-aware, with lifetime access instead of "you had to be in the room."

Is this part of ConnectedPE?

The workshop is run by Jarrod under The PE Geek brand. Members of ConnectedPE will get cohort priority and a discount when it goes live — details in the launch email.
