And could you talk about that a little bit? Because I found the ways to assess in your chapter fascinating and easy to use, easy to implement, and critical to the learning process.
7:18
Yeah, and that's the thing, and I will be completely vulnerable and upfront here when I say that, you know, I do receive a lot of pushback when I go to conferences in different parts of the world that are very much driven by a coaching mentality.
7:32
You know, the PE and sport and movement is about coaching the person, the authority figure holding the space and telling students what to do or players what to do.
7:44
And I've taken on a very student-centered approach, which is all rooted in Albert Bandura's work and Maslow's work around self-efficacy and ownership and agency, right? So it's like putting students at the forefront.
8:01
And I referenced Professor Guy Claxton in the book, who wrote an amazing book called The Future of Teaching and the Myths That Hold It Back.
8:11
And Guy was on my podcast a few years ago, and he's a world-renowned researcher from the UK.
8:18
He's probably close to 80 now.

So today, we're very fortunate to have Andy Vasily with us, and I'm gonna welcome you to the show, Andy, and then ask you to introduce yourself a bit to our listeners.

Well, first of all, we had a great conversation before you hit record, and I always call that the conversation before the conversation, uh, where we get to know one another and when we share stories and, and, uh, our work.
1:08
So I, I really appreciate being on the podcast and the invitation and, uh.
1:13
So I'm from Canada, Windsor, Ontario, border city with Detroit, Michigan, but currently living in Antwerp, Belgium, which I think is five hours, six hours ahead of you, Kate.
1:26
But, uh, I've been in international education since, uh, the late nineties, and I met my wife in university in Windsor.
1:35
She was studying nursing, and I knew I was a Windsor boy through and through.
1:41
I never wanted to leave Windsor.
