In this presentation, we will explore effective strategies for establishing and managing a successful Physical Education (PE) department in a bilingual school setting in China.

To raise standards, we will discuss on curriculum alignment that integrates both international and local educational frameworks, assessment for learning strategies, relevance and accessibility for all students, skill development with a debate on the difference on sport focused verse skill development verse physical literacy verse mastery – what is the best model for effective progressive skill development?

Leadership within the PE department will involve empowering staff to collaborate on best practices, share resources, and support one another in professional development through continual professional development and when is it best to introduce Professional Learning Communities.

Together, these elements create a dynamic PE program that not only meets educational standards but also inspires students to lead active, healthy lives. Join us as we delve deeper into these strategies and share practical examples from our experiences in bilingual education.
