123: PETE programs..why so much Gen Ed? Dr. Ashley Phelps
Do you remember General Education classes? How long did it take for you to get to your major classes? Are we doing a disservice to future PE teachers by requiring so much gen ed content? Well... Dr. Ashley Phelps did a study on this. This episode breaks down PETE programs in the USA and compares the gen ed, major courses, and field work. We had a great discussion on the implications of all of this on teaching and PETE.
