Nathan is currently based in Singapore, where he teaches Elementary Physical Education. He has previous teaching experience in both national and international schools across Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Cambodia, and Italy, and is a strong advocate for quality, purposeful physical education for every student. Nathan has shared his ideas at local, national, and international conferences and workshops throughout North America, Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. In this episode, we reflect on a school year in which Nathan committed to implementing Meaningful PE, which he views not as an approach done to students but as a way of being with them. Nathan discusses the reflective and democratic pedagogies that underpin his practice and explains how he uses data to support student agency, helping learners take greater ownership of their experiences and learning in physical education.
