Concerning his podcast he said, "If there's a listener who has a loved one with aphasia, who's really struggling to know how to support them, that's okay. And that's normal for this to be hard."
"Advocacy for Physical Education" with Todd R. Pennington
Episode 38- February 2024
Todd R. Pennington is an Associate Professor in Teacher Education in the McKay School. In this podcast he states, "Physical education teachers tend to be isolated because they work down in the gym. And a lot of times some have a planning period, some may not. And so other than faculty meeting they may not, based on proximity, have a lot of interaction. So I tell them, that you've got to be proactive, you've got to make extra efforts to interact with colleagues across content and across the school."
