Bruce Nkala


Biography

​Bruce Nkala, PhD is currently a Physical Education Department Chair at The Shipley School in Bryn Mawr, PA, USA. A graduate of the University of Botswana (2015), his Doctorate focused on the development of TGfU Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and Content Knowledge (CK) in Botswana Teachers and Students respectively. In his work, Bruce worked with 45 Botswana schools to develop contextual professional development that would effectively develop PCK and CK, while remaining economically viable for a nationwide roll-out. Though proposals have been made to the Ministry of Education, very little has been done to expand on the recommendations posed. Although Bruce is currently based in the US, he keeps in touch with Physical Education Teachers through a TGfU Botswana Facebook page, that regularly updates subscribers on the latest TGfU information, and also serves as a Q&A forum for teacher questions. Bruce has also authored a Physical Education textbook for Botswana Junior Community Schools that provides teachers with TGfU instruction for games within the Botswana Physical Education standardized Syllabus framework.

Mission Statement

  • To represent Botswana on the TGfU IAB and use the network to help support Physical Education teachers in Botswana
  • To petition the MOE and Teaching institutions for the incorporation of TGfU as an instructional approach.
  • To continue to provide TGfU support, resources and guidance for Botswana Physical Education teachers in their transition towards using TGfU as an instructional approach.
  • To continue to provide a Southern African perspective to the implementation of TGfU and grow the use of TGfU to other countries within the Southern African Region.
  • To host the 2028 TGfU Conference in Botswana.
