Episode 6: Episode 6: Educational Policy Effects on K-12 Physical Education in New York State

In this episode, graduate students from a summer Capstone and Contemporary Issues in Physical Education class at Canisius College have been invited to join Drs. Ramsey and Seymour.  Students in this combined course are graduate teacher candidates on the verge of student-teaching, aspiring physical educators, or newly inducted teachers into the profession themselves.  Students are asked to review journal articles (see below) ahead of time to discuss accordingly. The group addresses educational policy in New York State; specifically the recent Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) and Common Core State Standards.Seymour, C.
