Physical education has the power to transform young learners when we place them at the center of their own learning journey. In this session, we’ll explore the Meaningful PE framework—a student-centred approach that I’ve shared with hundreds of teachers across the world over the past decade.

Drawing on current research, we’ll examine how differentiated, meaningful learning experiences enable every student to thrive in PE. You’ll discover practical strategies for designing and delivering assessments that genuinely honour student agency and voice, moving beyond traditional approaches to create physical education programs where learners take ownership of their growth and development.

Whether you’re new to student-centred PE or looking to deepen your practice, this session offers concrete tools and research-backed insights to help you build more engaging, equitable, and meaningful physical education experiences.
