Preparing Successful Advocates through PETE Programs: A Framework for Advocacy in Physical Education
Pennington, Todd; Prusak, Keven; Beddoes, Zack
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v94 n2 p19-24 2023
The purpose of this article is to share an advocacy framework that was developed with the hope that it can provide PETE programs, K-12 district coordinators, and other interested physical education professionals an effective way of delivering the concepts and skills related to becoming more effective advocates. The advocacy framework closely resembles a decision-making tree for those who intend to engage in advocacy. The utility and appeal of a decision-making tree is, of course, its inherent logic and organization that helps those faced with the question, "Where do I begin?" followed by a sequence of pre-identified next steps. It further allows for targeted interventions with identifiable purposes and indicators of successful outcomes. This advocacy framework focuses on the teacher who must be able to engage in both social promotion (action intended to garner support at the grassroots level) and policy change (intended to influence policy change up the various levels of decision makers). That said, each of the component parts of the advocacy framework are described in detail in this paper.
