Presentations

Please join me for a presentation on creating effective practice plans for middle and high school sports that any coach of any level can use. We will cover components of training, including identifying game and skill phases and their implications for practice.

This active workshop will allow attendees to participate in some of these organisational options - which can cater for groups up to 70, depending on the space available (often only slightly larger than a basketball court). Some of the wide range of movements (using bodyweight and readily available equipment) and activities utilised by the presenter to keep these fitness sessions fun and varied will also be demonstrated.

This engaging session highlights the SPARK PE curriculum, a research-based program designed to increase student engagement, promote lifelong physical activity, and align with PE standards.

Embodied affectivity in physical education is a brief explanation of my research on the affective domain of learning in PE (in my case in the Early Years but potentially relevant to other age groups). I would discuss what is observable and meaningful to both the students and teacher, and offer pedagogical strategies to support student learning.

This session will explore strategies to support student learning in human sexuality, social and emotional competencies, and mental health. Walk away from this session with concrete ideas that align with Health Education curricula outcomes, including ready-to-use lesson plans and in-class activities.

This presentation will provide teachers with a dynamic new approach to teaching movement and play by integrating storylines, music, specialized equipment, and role play into a fully gamified movement and character building program called Super Moverz.

In this session, we will explore the challenges and strategies for navigating toxic workplaces in the field of sports leadership.

Physical and Health Education are powerful agents for change within the Education system.

This workshop is designed to empower educators with the tools to create connections through SEL-centred classrooms. We'll delve into the skills and mindsets of SEL and how they contribute to the development of compassionate and inclusive classroom environments.

Providing a quality Physical Education program in a bilingual school provides special challenges for educators and students while providing opportunities for students to learn about, in and through movement.
