Voxcast

The Global PhysEd Voxcast is a podcast that is dedicated to providing health and physical education teachers around the world a platform to learn and share best practices.  We use the Voxer application to showcase some of the top educators in our field and attempt to analyze their success.  The Global PhysEd Voxcast has included topics such as standards-based instruction, neuroscience, mindfulness, and social justice.  We attempt to bring you topical issues that will improve your teaching and ultimately help our students live happy, healthy and active lives.

Every week we will bring you a new episode featuring great educators discussing topical issues in the field of health, physical education and more.  Click on the links below to checkout our latest episodes featuring the keynote speakers of this years Physical Education and School Sport Institute.
