Think Tank Sessions: Using Structured Decision Making to Inform PETE Program Revisions
Jones, Emily; Gaudreault, Karen; Henninger, Mary; Williams, Skip
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v90 n2 p17-23 2019
The purpose of this article is to provide physical education teacher education (PETE) faculty and program directors/administrators with an introduction to stakeholder think tanks as a structured collaborative decision-making approach for conceptualizing the integration of contemporary, practice-oriented issues into university-level teacher preparation programs. To do this, the authors outline and describe a five-step process used to facilitate a think tank session with K-12 practitioners to address the implementation of program and policy advocacy within a PETE program. The five steps are: (1) explore, (2) define, (3) brainstorm, (4) share and expand, and (5) vote. The authors propose that building and strengthening partnerships with K--12 practitioners that focus on building a shared vision, fostering open and ongoing communications, and collaboratively producing knowledge can enhance the quality of teacher education programs and program graduates.
