Kinesiology Faculty for the 21st Century: STEPing into the Future

Abstract

Kinesiology faculty for the 21st century was one of the featured strands of the 2014 NAKHE Collaborative Congress: “STEPS into the future: Exploring opportunities and facing the challenges for the 21st century.” Following a brief introduction delegates were assigned to discussion groups with conversations focused around six topics/questions spanning the “grand challenges,” work-life integration, learning environments, innovative pedagogies, sharing knowledge, and organizing academic endeavors. The lively discussions are briefly summarized here toward the ultimate goal of strategizing a re-envisioning of kinesiology for the 21st century.
