Creating Local Pathways in University Teacher Education - Chapter 3.
from Lauve Wellbeing Hosted by Dr. Timothy Lynch
This podcast episode examines a chapter from The Future of Health, Wellbeing and Physical Education by Timothy Lynch which details a successful partnership between Monash University, the Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association (ASCTA), and local primary schools in Gippsland, Australia. The initiative provided affordable swimming and water safety instruction for university pre-service teachers, simultaneously offering free, high-quality swimming lessons to disadvantaged primary school children. This collaborative effort addressed a need for recognised industry qualifications for university students and provided valuable practical teaching experience. The programme's success is demonstrated through positive student and stakeholder feedback, leading to increased student satisfaction and the continuation of the initiative. The author meticulously documents the planning, implementation, and evaluation of this community-based learning project.
