Building Better PE Anywhere with Megan Lockett

In this PE Across Borders webinar, host Aaron Beighle welcomes international-school educator Megan Lockett for a wide-ranging conversation designed to give international PE teachers practical ideas and encouragement. The session blends personal story with professional learning as Megan shares how her early experiences in Liverpool shaped her passion for physical education, and how that passion evolved into a career that includes teaching and presenting internationally (and continuing her own learning through advanced study).Together, they dig into what PE looks like in international schools, where context can change everything—facilities, schedules, class groupings, cultural expectations, and even the teaching space itself. Megan shares real examples of adapting on the fly (including teaching in unfinished spaces and building programs in small, new schools), and emphasizes a key takeaway for international educators: there isn’t one perfect model—great PE comes from staying flexible, reflecting often, and continuing to learn while leaning on global professional communities instead of working in isolation.
