Hello Folks!<\/p>\n

I am a full time Lecturer in the Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy at The University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada. I am also the\u00a0Physical and Health Teacher Education Coordinator at the undergrad level. I was the PHE Department Head and Assistant Athletic Director at a secondary school in the Catholic Independent Schools of Vancouver Archdiocese\u00a0in Port Coquitlam where he taught: all levels of PHE, PHE Leadership 11 and 12, and various other subjects including Social Studies, Planning and Learning Resource Center. Steve has an extensive resume of coaching a plethora of sports at various competitive levels and enjoys coaching his children today.<\/p>\n

Currently,\u00a0I am the\u00a0instructor in the secondary physical and health education methods course, a number of the elementary physical and health education methods courses and the teacher inquiry I and teacher inquiry II courses in the teacher education program at UBC. In addition,\u00a0I am\u00a0a faculty advisor, providing support for teacher candidates in secondary schools across the Greater Vancouver area.<\/p>\n

In June of 2014, I completed the UBC Masters of Physical Education \u2013 Teaching Games for Understanding Cohort.\u00a0\u00a0My final Capstone focus:\u00a0Enacting curricular and pedagogical changes in physical education.\u00a0\u00a0My <\/em><\/strong>passions lie in engaging all learners\u00a0<\/strong>and creating<\/strong><\/em> and sustaining<\/strong><\/em> conditions for professional collaboration<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0I am a firm believer that when we open ourselves up to listen, share and collaborate, best practices emerge. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Furthermore, I am\u00a0passionate and an advocate for quality Physical and Health Education, an activator of the Physical Literacy movement. I have\u00a0taken on a number of physical literacy projects including a national focus group with teachers on the 60 Minute Kids Club Challenge and more recently, building Physical Literacy capacity within schools, recreation and health sectors. <\/strong><\/p>\n
