Dr. Michelle Kilborn will share her perspectives about teaching children how to be healthy and live well. Her work presents a very practical yet complex and wisdom-guided way to transform teaching practices that follow more holistic understandings of wellness. She features an influential curriculum inquiry concept, currere, nuanced with action research principles in a unified, intimate, and deeply relational inquiry into physical education teacher practice. She will discuss a new mode of curriculum inquiry, wisdom-guided inquiry, providing an opportunity to open up a fresh avenue to understand curriculum and become engaged in discussions that concern teaching, learning and public education. While her work is situated within the physical education discipline, it has implications for all teachers and teacher educators because it provides insights that encourage us to consider more carefully the subjective insights of teachers and to understand these as central to being and becoming a teacher.
