Regular exposure to physical activity (PA) has numerous health-related benefits including better physical fitness (PF).

The literature addressing the need to make physical education experiences both meaningful and motivating has been around for decades.

When we move away from traditional blocked training and 1 v 0 skill training we can create more engaging and practical practices for our players.

As teachers we have high expectations of ourself yet with only 24 hours in a day a strive for a balanced life appears to only create more things we ‘should' or ‘want' to do, rarely providing the rest, recovery and results we hope for.

Participants in this workshop will explore fun, puzzle-based and interactive pedagogies to support a strengths-based approach to health education and create understandings of others.

The Spectrum of Teaching styles is one of the most thoroughly researched models in not just PE, but education.

The Spectrum of Teaching Styles (The Spectrum ) is both a philosophy and a model. It is a philosophy of deliberate teaching. As a model, it outlines the process leading toward ever-increasing student (or in sport coaching, player) independent learning.

This presentation will introduce PE departments to the concept, ideas, development and implementation of the programme and will discuss the importance Physical Education has on the wider school delivery of holistic provision.

This session is meant to support new and veteran teachers who need practical ideas about ways to organize any Physical Education lesson, in order to create an atmosphere of safety, fun, and an appropriate pace of learning.

Using one unit of inquiry (individual pursuits) we will unpack opportunities to empower students to make choices and connections, improve physical competence in an area meaningful to them and challenge their creative and critical thinking.
