We had our Policy Provocation Panel in PECP4 today @uoe-pe.bsky.social Great to hear such a range of perspectives and some bold(er) interpretations from our panel members. It was especially nice to have some of our Year 4 students joining the panel.

We did it @uoe-pe.bsky.social. Working with Brodie Runciman and Karen Munro we shared the MA PE programme at the #SATPE conference as part of our re-accreditation journey. Some excellent feedback and comments from delegates. Thanks to everyone who came to see us.

In this article, a few people picked up that adaptability is part of what makes ‘good’ teaching. That feels especially relevant now, with the current discussions within Scotland’s curriculum improvement cycle. If you’re interested, you can find the article here: brill.com/view/journal...

Filling classrooms with computers didn't have the huge and positive impact on learning that was promised. Filling them with tablets hasn't done it either. I know this might sound absurd to many (especially politicians) but what if we filled them with highly skilled and properly supported educators?

The further you are from key decisions about the game, the more likely it is you are playing formal sport. In Physical Education this can mean skills and tactics become a priority focus. In sport, it can mean being locked into a format that lacks flexibility. doi.org/10.1177/0193...

Very much enjoying my time here in Japan with Ken Kubo. I’m learning how they use Lesson Study to build learning communities between universities and schools. Great to see and observe lots of PE classes in schools…many similarities and plenty differences.
