Cohort philosophical Platform Experiential Education (EE) to include Experiential Learning (EL) Used as a catalyst for thinking about ontological (nature of being) and epistemological (truth & knowledge) issues to challenge entrenched educational values Provides comprehensive and inclusive means to encompass the 3 streams Aims to develop a cohesive and comprehensive approach to teaching and learning. Experiential Education: Experiential education is education (the leading of students through a process of learning) that makes conscious application of the students' experiences by integrating them into the curriculum (Carver, 1996). Experiential Learning EL might be considered as the process of change that occurs for individuals and collectives. Thus the focus of EL is upon the learners and their constructions of knowledge Through critical questioning to examine embedded power relations

Health Education stream

Health Education stream The health education stream invites those working in physical and health education to engage in timely and relevant conversation about the ‘trickiness’ of doing ‘health education’. The conversations in this stream will emerge from a constructivist and interpretivist perspective to interrogate the societal shifts occurring in health education such that topics of gender, race, sexuality, social class, nationhood figure prominently within our approaches to health education. Using the social determinants of health we will address the broad factors shaping individual health behaviours; thus moving beyond behaviour change models for health. There will be an concrete effort to approach Indigenous ways of knowing and being as a means to broaden health understandings and teaching practices.

Outdoor Education Stream

Outdoor Education Stream Research into the impact of OE on student and teacher perceptions and practices with respect to the environment and sustainability shows unequivocally strong relationships (Ballantyne and Packer, 2009; Lugg, 2007; Smith, 2007; Stibbards and Puk, 2011; Zink, 2010). “Benefits of nature” literature illustrates various significant findings around physical and socio-emotional health and wellbeing, and includes theories such as free play (Chawla, 2015; Gill, 2014) and healthy risk (Brussoni et al. 2012; Tremblay, 2015). The inherently interdisciplinary outdoor learning setting invites educators to (re)consider curricular and pedagogical approaches and methodologies beyond classroom walls and school confines, aligning with revised BC Ministry of Education shifts.  Other outdoor themes include: experiential learning, indigenous principles of learning, local learning, place-based learning, socio-emotional learning, STEM, sustainability, and holistic wellbeing, considered through critical and emancipatory perspectives.

Physical education stream

Physical education stream Curricular innovations (TGfU, Sport Education, Physical Literacy, Movement Education, Inventing Games – Democracy in Action) – used as means to examine what, why, how of teaching and learning in PE Examine entrenched educational values through ways of knowing Examining own practice Explore what it means for physical educators in helping learners become engaged citizens in a sustainable world and society.
