Dr. Tara Blackshear has, according to her website, " ... made a global impact by working  around the world to improve the quality of life for others. Recognizing the discouraging health statistics in the United States, particularly among females and people of color, Dr. Blackshear focuses on research that confronts health and physical activity disparities, and inequities in education that disproportionately affect Black women." I invited Dr. Blackshear to join me on the show to discuss her paper #ShapeSoWhite and have a conversation about her work and what direction we should be moving as a profession.

Her work sparked interested and conversation from many educators within the field, and even resulted in a conversation around the practices of our national organization known as SHAPE America. You can find her Unplugged episode with leaders from SHAPE on YouTube. As the late Congressman John Lewis, who represented Georgia's 5th District, once said, "When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something." Dr. Blackshear's research, #SHAPEsoWhite, is a testament to speak truth to power and be part of the conversation.

This is a great podcast that covers many important topics that are otherwise misrepresented or largely misunderstood by many educators. Topics like Embodied Approaches, Affirmations, the Policing of Bodies, Interest Conversion Theory, ethic of care and love, Physical Awareness over Physical Literacy, Extinction of PE, SHAPE's Teacher of the Year Award process, and more. Our conversation highlighted various questions like ... is the practice of awarding Teacher of the Year candidates a special place reserved for affluent schools? Is Physical Education for all or for some?

Justin Schleider is a dynamic educator with a strong presence within his local scene, and is well known on a regional and national level. You may know Justin from Around the Horn PE, #SlowchatPE, #SlowchatHealth, and as a writer on ConnectedPE. As a focus for a section of this episode is on Love, I recommend watching a co-presentation with Sherri Spelic called Radical Love in PhysEd.

Francina Hollingsworth from Houston, Texas, teachers at Albright Middle School for the Alief Independent School District. Coach Hollingsworth is a regular on Around The Horn PE with Dave Carney and Justin Schleider, and helps host the After The Horn which covers a wide array of topics impacting educators. Coach Hollingsworth has a ton of experiential knowledge which she showcases throughout this episode. The episode had to be separated into two parts to accommodate all of our conversation. Part A focuses on school funding, teaching in precarious situations, dealing with Hurricanes, and life.

Episode 6 Part A continues our official podcast journey where I have the pleasure of introducing Lawrence Schwartz from Ukiah, California. Larry teaches for the Ukiah Unified School District (UUSD). The UUSD's mission and vision statement reached out to me and seemed authentic and honest about the community in which they serve. 

Take the time to read their mission and vision statement, I hope to see more schools redesign their mission and vision statement to be a more honest reflection of the students they serve and how to serve them best. 

I loved talking with Coach Schwartz, it was an emotional conversation based on love of what we do and who we teach.

Jim in the Gym Hambel joins us today to discuss his role with SHAPE America's council on Physical Activity. We briefly explore branding your program, engaging with your professional organizations & networking, twitter & resource building, and keeping it real. Jim and I have crossed paths over twitter and Around the Horn Physical Education (#ATHpe) and even have deep roots teaching in the South Bronx, the South South Bronx! Our discussion brought me back to my many memories as a coach and curriculum developer with REAL Kids South Bronx at 148th and Morris Avenue in the birthplace of Hip Hop in Mott Haven, BX. This wonderful program is part of the organization formerly known as Harlem RBI which is now known as DREAM. Thank you to all of the youth who helped make me a better educator!

Episode 3 starts our official journey where guests guide the conversation! I am thrilled that for the third episode we were able to have Risto Marttinen, Sara Flory, and Zack Gaudreau! Before you listen to the podcast I would recommend taking a moment to read Dr. Sara Flory's critical review on PE Pedagogy in Urban Schools to help expand upon the context of our conversation. Considering a topic as diverse and nuanced as pedagogy, this conversation deserves numerous episodes and I hope to continue this conversation at a later date.
