TEACHING PHILOSOPHY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I believe in adopting a unifying philosophy of kinesiology and thus instruct students as young kinesiologists<\/i> and developing scholars. In this vein, though my interests and expertise lie in the psychosocial aspects of sport and physical activity, I attempt to balance the perspective that to truly nurture and develop athletes and exercisers, we should value all aspects of the discipline. I direct students to problems and work with them to identify practical solutions based on empirical and theoretical evidence. I rely on a teaching framework based in self-determination theory to encourage a personal and intrinsic desire to examine the course as a means to influence their future professions.<\/span><\/p>\n

RESEARCH INTERESTS
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My\u00a0research agenda is focused on education-based high school sport. I\u2019m curious about the structure and purpose of interscholastic sport, and how to develop leadership and life skills through athletics. I particularly value the potential of research to inform curriculum, programming and outreach efforts. I have also explored the scholarship of teaching and learning through an examination of course design tactics and pedagogical approaches to enhance college student learning.<\/p>\n
