This paper focuses on strategies for the successful recruitment and retention of Black males in doctoral physical education teacher education (D-PETE) programs. Specifically, the authors use their own experiences and also recognize the contributions of Black males in PETE such as E.B. Henderson, who blazed a trail for the representation and recognition of Black males in physical education.

NEW RELEASE!

Reach Every Athlete Coaching Book Cover

 

SHAPE America's latest text, geared to undergraduate and graduate PETE students and in-service teachers, includes eight case studies of situations that expose racism, disparities, and other issues affecting Black students’ well-being, self-worth, and healthy experiences in PE, as well as reflective activities, resources, lesson considerations, and definitions.

 

News Around the Nation

 

CSU Signal

Did you know when students eat healthier and exercise regularly, they learn better in school? Implementing healthy behaviors and habits can improve mental and physical health and overall quality of life. According to research observed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is evidence of a strong connection between healthy behaviors and academic achievements like graduation rates, grades and attendance.

 

The Diamondback

Sixteen percent of NCAA athletes across all divisions are Black. Despite the already minimal representation, the number of Black athletes in some sports is far lower than others. In college programs such as men’s basketball and football, Black athletes make up a large percentage, if not the majority, of the player population. However, in sports such as baseball or tennis, it’s quite the opposite.

 

The Daily Item

One of the familiar sentiments expressed during the pandemic was, “I will be glad when things return to normal.” However, the question now perhaps is whether “normal” is sufficient to meet the needs of high school students. With issues that have worsened during the pandemic — physical inactivity, mental health challenges, teen suicides — school leaders may be faced with discovering a new “normal” that provides more students opportunities to participate in these vital programs.

 

Healthline

With phones, TVs, and iPads all around, it might seem overwhelming to think about limiting your child’s screen time. How much TV is good for them? Should they be texting all day? Does educational content make a difference? You may be concerned about what’s become usual and what research says is best.
