From Brackets to Banners - Part 2

In this episode of Move with Purpose, Chris takes a deeper look at the Sport Education Model (SEM) and how physical educators can turn traditional units into authentic sport experiences. Building on the excitement of events like the Olympics and March Madness, she explains how SEM creates structure, identity, and shared purpose through seasons, stable teams, and student leadership roles. Drawing from her own early experience with the model, she shares practical strategies for starting small, building balanced teams, embedding assessment, and shifting the teacher's role to the "commissioner" of the season. The episode challenges educators to design classes where students lead, invest, and help build a strong sport culture.
