EmpowerED Movie Screening: No Excuses

Join EmpowerED for our third movie screening, No Excuses (2015) on Monday, March 24th 5:00-7:00 p.m. in the Student Union Theater. “‘No Excuses’ follows the transformation of the physical education program at the Storefront Academy in Harlem as they go from a ‘roll out the ball,’ ‘gym class’ approach to a quality physical education program” (Physical and Health Education America).

Screening to be followed by a Q & A session with local physical education teachers moderated by Associate Professor of Kinesiology Dr. David Daum. This event hopes to offer an opportunity to reimagine narratives of teaching physical education, exploring both its problematic aspects as well as avenues for regeneration.

The EmpowerED: Re-Conceptualizing Teaching Series brings together SJSU students, faculty, researchers, and local community educators for quarterly movie screenings and panel discussions to critically examine public depictions, perceptions, and expectations of public education teachers in the United States.
