In this inspiring conversation, we explore what happens when a small-town PE teacher from Minnesota follows an unexpected path across the world and discovers that the true power of physical education isn't in the skills we teach, but in the human connections we build. Drawing on experiences from Thailand to Bahrain to Oman, Luther shares how global teaching, core values, and intentional relationship-building transformed his approach to PE. From helping students feel seen, to using games to nurture character, to creating classrooms where every child belongs, this PE Huddle reveals how leading with joy, curiosity, and heart can shape meaningful learning and lifelong movers.

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.
