University Teaching Experience
Tony Sommers M.S. University Lecturer
I believe in teaching skills that matter – whether that’s performing CPR to save a life, crafting a resume that lands the job, or designing movement programs that actually help people. My classes blend hands-on practice with real-world preparation, because knowing the theory isn’t enough if you can’t apply it when it counts. From the emergency room to the gym floor to the job interview, I prepare my students to make an immediate impact in their communities and careers.
Movement Pedagogy | KINE 311
I taught future PE teachers, coaches, and medical professionals how to design and deliver effective movement programs using evidence-based teaching methods. Students learned to create engaging interventions and adapt their approach for different populations, from gym classes to clinical settings.
Health & Drug Education | KINE 405
I taught students how to design and deliver health and drug education programs for schools, communities, and healthcare settings. We focused on addressing public health issues through behavior change and creating effective health promotion strategies that actually work.
Internship in Kinesiology | KINE 495c
I supervised students through 90-hour internships in kinesiology settings while also teaching them essential career skills like crafting resumes, optimizing LinkedIn profiles, and writing cover letters. We focused on how to stand out and find success in an AI-driven job market, preparing them for the evolving workplace.
First Aid & CPR | KINE 200/201
I taught students how to save lives through hands-on first aid and CPR training, covering everything from treating wounds and burns to performing CPR and using an AED. Students earned both American Red Cross First Aid and American Heart Association BLS certifications.
