This session is intended for attendees interested in learning more about a master's degree program focused on providing licensed teachers a way to enhance their content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. Since career-long professional development offered to PE teachers is limited in scope, and is sometimes even ineffective or inappropriate (Armour, 2010), the session will offer an in-depth look at learning gained by practicing physical education teachers enrolled in the program.
