Students in the physical and health education teacher education (P/HETE) program completed a partnership project with two Buffalo Public Schools. Throughout the semester, teacher candidates from Dr. Clancy Seymour’s PED 371/PEG 571: Assessment in Physical Education and PED 311/PEG 511: Movement Education and Elementary Activities courses implemented teaching strategies and assessment protocols to kindergarten – grade four children.
The students of BPS No.17 and BPS No. 54 were very excited and the collaboration proved to be a wonderful learning experience for all partners. The joint venture allows P/HETE majors to apply best practices in pedagogy and assessment in authentic learning environments. Special thanks to Phil Smith ’13, Tricia Vezina, physical education teachers at BPS No. 17, 
Karin Seymour ᾿98, MS ᾿08, and Erin Hughes ᾿12, MBA ’17, physical educators at BPS No. 54, for their help in coordinating this event.
