Research and Professional Development. Physical education and athletics faculty members are expected to initiate, develop, and implement a plan of continuing professional development and research (§§3.6.2, 3.9.3.4). Specifically, they are expected to be involved in professional development activities that enable them to remain energetic in their teaching and coaching, current in regard to developments in their fields, stimulating to their students and student athletes, and visible in the profession. These goals can be achieved, in part, through active participation in activities that enhance their own areas of expertise, as well as through study that increases the depth and breadth of their knowledge of other areas. Faculty members are expected to complete the professional development activities they undertake such that the benefits are apparent in their own coaching or teaching, through publications or presentations at professional conferences, or in other appropriate venues (e.g., holding clinics or workshops for others in the field). See §3.9.3.4 for additional guidance on the evaluation of research. Appropriate professional development activities include but are not limited to • Attending sport camps, coaching clinics, or professional meetings, or making use of other organized professional development opportunities. • Pursuing research that results in a demonstrable product such as publication in professional journals or magazines. • Speaking at coaching clinics, professional meetings, or other similar events.
