Intentionally Teaching Well Being In Physical Education
This workshop will critique our traditional Physical Education programmes to ensure that they are catering to the needs of all our students, in particular females. Are there some 'non-traditional' activities and experiences we can expose our students to to further involve and inspire? What does the research say with regard to girls and PE? Is there a need within our schools to offer more variation on the topics we offer? How can we implement these ideas?
