What is The TPSR Alliance?
The TPSR Alliance is a community of practice dedicated to promoting the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model developed by Don Hellison (1938-2018). This empowerment based teaching approach fosters positive youth development and social change through sport and physical activity. We bring together coaches, physical education teachers, youth workers, university students, professors and other stakeholders to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
