Presentations

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.

Have you ever thought “why am I active”?

Mikael Quennerstedt states that “…the only real sustainable aim for physical education is more physical education”

Supporting the development of health literacy in children and young people is an emerging field in the practice of teachers and health-related resources for use in schools and communities.

"The relationship between student and teacher plays a large role in the trajectory of a child’s academic success and social development. Establishing a positive relationship with their teacher helps a student feel more comfortable and safe in their classroom environments."
