The Project Assistant supports the Supervisor and team in the HPED program by handling daily administrative, organizational, and coordination tasks to keep the project on schedule. This teaching and learning enhancement project seeks to enhance student engagement, connection, and sense of belonging within the PHYL 4550* learning environment by introducing more integrative and applied learning opportunities. The proposed innovation combines three complementary components: (1) immersive, scenario-based learning modules that simulate experiences of inclusion and exclusion in physical activity settings; (2) reflective prompts embedded to guide deeper reflection, perspective-taking, and metacognitive awareness; and (3) embodied,



movement-based learning labs that allow students to physically engage with concepts such as belonging, power, and emotional regulation.
