Collective Intelligence is a term used to describe the shared intelligence of a group or organization “that emerges from the collaboration, collective efforts, and even shared competitions of many individuals.” And that’s precisely what comes to my mind when I think about the 2016 National PE & School Sport Institute! What’s different though, is that unlike the win-lose scenarios we are witnessing in our current American political landscape, the National PE & School Sport Institute is a true “win-win” event for everyone.
Each summer for the past four years, together with several hundred physical education teaching colleagues and school sport coaches, I’ve felt fortunate to personally experience some exciting, motivating, and truly amazing professional presentations and conversations. And it’s been taking place in my state – North Carolina. This gathering – better known as the National PE & School Sport Institute, has become an annual summer trek for teachers and coaches from around the country who identify with the terms #PEGeeks or #PhysEd. In other words, Institute attendees are leaders among the growing breed of connected “physical education wizards” who are sharing and thriving on Facebook, Twitter, Voxer, and other forms of social media.
Since 2012, I have been humbled to have personally met thousands of K-12 physical education teachers who have an exciting and remarkable passion for teaching. They get it! These individuals understand the importance and personal benefits of being involved in a change movement that values “win-win” outcomes: Where everyone succeeds! These folk are passionate about increasing physical education’s “collective intelligence” and bringing this knowledge and passion to the children we love and serve. While great distances and multiple time zones separate these individuals, they are plainly serious in keeping connected!
Would you like to personally experience the power and passion behind this PE wizardry? How about meeting and seeing these PE champions in action? If it sounds like fun, it is. And it’s something you don’t want to miss. Join us for what’s guaranteed to be a great opportunity for you to learn about the very latest in effective physical education teaching and school sport coaching.
