Workshops · Launches Wednesday 1 July 2026

The world is moving fast. Let us guide your department through the storm.

PE teachers are being asked to absorb more change in two years than the previous decade combined. AI rewrites the syllabus every quarter. Platforms, policies, and parent expectations are moving faster than the PD calendar can keep up with — and the noise is louder than the signal.

The next workshop opens Wednesday 1 July 2026. Four weeks, async, built for you and your department — and taught in platform-agnostic tooling so the skills hold up no matter what your school chooses next.

The course

Four weeks. Four PE-teacher capabilities you walk out with.

This isn't a tour of one AI tool. It's a PE-teaching curriculum that uses AI — taught so the skills hold up on any platform you choose, in any school you teach in, on any tool that ships next year. ConnectedPE is the worked example because it's what we know, but every workflow we teach also runs on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, the apps you already use, and the school systems you're locked into.

Each week leaves you with an artifact you could show your principal on Monday — and a capability you keep, regardless of which tools your school adopts.

Week 01 Opens Wed 1 July 2026

AI for PE teachers, from first principles

Transferable AI fluency. Works on any tool, not just ours.

  • A clear-eyed tour of today's AI landscape — what's worth your time, what to be wary of, what to never paste in
  • Prompting patterns that hold up across tools and across years
  • Building a personal prompt library you keep returning to
  • How AI tools (including ours) plug into the patterns once you know them

Artifact: A personal prompt library + a head start on lesson plans for the term.

You walk out able to: pick up any AI tool — current or future — and put it to work in your PE classroom inside ten minutes. No platform lock-in. Ever.

Week 02 Drops Wed 8 July 2026

Feedback & assessment in the AI age

The heaviest, highest-value week. Worth the ticket on its own.

  • Modern video-feedback workflows for PE — fast capture, fast return
  • Using AI as a second reader on assessment work, with the right safeguards
  • Capturing growth and evidence in ways that don't disappear into a spreadsheet
  • Lighter-weight ways to keep families looped in on what's happening in class

Artifact: A personal feedback workflow you could hand to a colleague — and a few real pieces of student feedback returned the new way.

You walk out able to: give individualised, evidence-based feedback to every student in every class — in a fraction of the time it currently takes for one. Works whether you're using our tools, your school's LMS, or none of the above.

Week 03 Drops Wed 15 July 2026

Modern PE workflows — planning, admin & comms

The boring high-leverage stuff. The "I got my Sundays back" week.

  • Planning at the unit level, not just the lesson level
  • Differentiation as a built-in step, not an afterthought
  • Reports and comments that sound like you — only faster
  • Parent-comms patterns for the conversations that always come up
  • Auditing where AI saves time and where it doesn't, then locking in the high-leverage moves

Artifact: A time-back audit + a set of saved-template workflows + a unit plan you can teach.

You walk out able to: reclaim 4–8 hours a week from planning, reporting, and parent comms — without lowering quality. Your weekend back, on any school system, with any toolkit.

Week 04 Drops Wed 22 July 2026

Build your own + lead your team

The maker payoff + the organisational reality.

  • Pick the problem in your context worth solving first
  • Build a working tool through conversation alone — no code required
  • A practical playbook for bringing colleagues along without becoming everyone's IT support
  • Making the case for AI use in PE to school leaders
  • Staying current — what to watch for after the workshop ends

Artifact: A custom tool you've shipped + a plan for bringing your department along + a brief for your admin.

You walk out able to: build the PE tool your school actually needs — and bring three colleagues along with you. The maker skill that future-proofs your career in a software-shaped world.

How the course runs

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

The course opens Wednesday 1 July 2026. A new module drops every Wednesday for four weeks. Once it opens, run it in your own time — 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. About 8–12 hours total across 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

Transferable, not platform-locked

Skills work in any school on any platform — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, your existing apps, ours. ConnectedPE is your ongoing toolkit, not the curriculum.

Why listen to me

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

For 15+ years The PE Geek has been the guide through moments like this — a blog, a podcast, apps used in 80+ countries, and workshops delivered in 40+. Thousands of teachers, the same role each time: cut the noise, hand you the patterns that actually hold up, send you back to your classroom able to do the next thing.

The workshop has run on three continents — in school halls and gyms, hotel ballrooms and convention centres, and 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 the other way round.

Is this for you?

Who shows up

  • PE teachers wanting to use AI with intention, not novelty
  • Department heads who need to modernise the faculty's practice
  • Coaches and PD providers translating the workshop back to their teams
  • Schools sending a cohort together (bulk enrolment supported)
  • Anyone who's been to a PE Geek workshop before and wants the next chapter
  • Teachers in any country — cohort is international, timezone is yours
What it isn't

Set expectations

  • Not a tour of ConnectedPE — skills are taught platform-agnostic, CPE is the ongoing toolkit
  • 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
What's in the ticket

One workshop. One year of follow-through.

The skills are taught for any school on any platform — but you also get a year inside ConnectedPE so you have a supported toolkit while you put them to work.

Clear, fair, and pays back if you're already in the family.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What does the ticket actually include?

The 4-week async workshop (videos, weekly assignments, cohort space, personal feedback from me), 12 months of ConnectedPE access (every app, AI tool, course, library asset), and lifetime access to the workshop materials themselves.

When does the course start?

The course opens on Wednesday 1 July 2026. Module 1 lands that day; a new module drops each Wednesday for the following three weeks (8 July, 15 July, 22 July). Once it opens you can run it at any pace you like — it's fully async.

How do I pay?

Stripe checkout is the fastest path — card payment, instant enrolment confirmation, access granted within minutes. Use the "Enrol now" button on either pricing card.

Pay by invoice if your school needs a PO or your district's finance team handles it. Email [email protected] with the number of seats and any PO details and we'll send you a tailored invoice within one business day.

How much does it cost?

Early-bird: $199 AUD. The workshop moves to its public price of $299 AUD at launch — early-bird pricing stays locked while it's live.

Annual or lifetime ConnectedPE members: $99.50 AUD (50% off the early-bird rate). To claim it, email [email protected] from your member-registered address — we'll verify your membership and send you a one-time discount code to use at Stripe checkout. Monthly and trial ConnectedPE members aren't eligible for the workshop discount.

Bulk school / district pricing and PO-based payments are also available — email [email protected] with the details and we'll send you a tailored invoice.

Is this just a ConnectedPE sales pitch?

No. The skills, workflows, and judgement you walk out with are entirely transferable — they work on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, your existing video tools, your school's existing platforms. ConnectedPE shows up briefly as worked examples and as the ongoing toolkit for the year of access. Roughly 90% of the workshop is platform-agnostic.

Can my school send a cohort?

Yes. Bulk enrolments and PO-based payments are supported, and the workshop is explicitly designed to be valuable for school PD budgets — the "your teachers walk out AI-fluent in 4 weeks" pitch is the line item. Note "school cohort" when you join the waitlist 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, and ConnectedPE covers the rest.

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

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