Abstract
In 1985 the motion picture Back to the Future heralded the idea that travelling back in time (to 1955) could inadvertently alter the course of events that lead to one’s future. The above scene in particular shifts the focus from the tangible “here and now” form of Einstein (“Doc” Brown’s dog) to imagining possibilities for his existence in a different era. Although abstract, given our inability to travel back in time from the future, in applying this thinking to Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) we can begin to conceive of the types of knowledge and skills “future” teachers may require, not only within their subject discipline, but also for future roles within the school community, such as being a pre-service teacher mentor.
