It is a staggered approach to make sure that you are ready and can control a classroom by following the various school policies and procedures properly (for example behaviour management). You will be supported by an academic tutor and a school mentor. Routes to Becoming a PE Teacher?

I wanted to create a book that was accessible to a range of people at a range of life stages outlining more realistically the profession they are entering. An insight into teaching physical education Here at PE Scholar, we also offer a variety of different courses to help provide training opportunities for your career progression. We have courses geared towards different aspects of curriculum design, pedagogy, assessment and more. The aim is to offer recourses and knowledge that can improve PE provision and keep your practice at the cutting edge of research informed ideas. Why Should You Teach PE? As such, the book speaks from the experiences of a range of outstanding PE-People but without heavy, academic language and referencing. Most PE teachers study for a sports-related degree then complete a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), which is a year-long course specifically designed to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). There are a wide range of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) providers ranging from universities to school-based providers. It is also possible possible and increasingly popular to enter straight onto an Undergraduate degree with QTS. Before applying we recommend that you research the role in detail and really consider if choosing a career in teaching is for you. What happens in the Initial Teacher Training Period?

I wanted to share the realities of the rollercoaster that is teaching. The twists, turns and unexpected corkscrews that make the role of the PE teacher fascinating yet challenging. As a reader works their way through the chapters, a subliminal self-audit might begin to appear in the reader’s minds. Physical education involves a lot more than getting pupils to play a game of football. It’s about developing key skills and attributes to promote human flourishing in children, from helping them to establish valuable a range of movement skills to nurturing the confidence and competence to move well and develop self-motivated individuals who are able to go on into adulthood and lead healthy active lifestyles. Young people can develop essential life skills within PE such as improved communication skills, teamwork, and leadership alongside better physical fitness and much more. Teaching Physical Education? As physical educators, the power is in our hands to make a real positive difference to so many children and young people, day by day and PE lesson by lesson.

The ultimate goal of teaching PE should be to make sure that the pupils enjoy and make progress in their lessons with the underpinning aim of nurturing Physical Literacy. If children enjoy PE, they are far more likely to carry on engaging with sport, physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices when they are older. How to Gain Qualified Teacher Status for PE? Being a PE teacher and working in the education system can be incredibly challenging but also hugely rewarding career. Helping young people to have a healthier lifestyle, improve their understanding of their bodies, and to have more confidence in themselves can leave a lasting positive impact on a pupil’s life. PE lessons offer a foundation for all young people to fall in love with physical activity, to interact with each other and the environment in a way that the classroom can’t, and PE teachers have the power to promote wellbeing in a way that other teachers often can’t. This of course will only happen if those experiences are both positive and meaningful for the pupils. Finding good sources of evidence-informed best practice for PE however, can be hard, which is why we started PE Scholar. Our aim was to offer incredible teaching materials, courses, and insight, to help physical education thrive, and make more of a positive difference to as many young peoples lives as possible. Alongside the traditional route of a PGCE, you can also have school-led workplace training, which is where you work in a school and train alongside it. Some undergraduate degrees can also have the QTS as part of the course, so be aware of those when applying. There are many routes to becoming a PE teacher, so finding the right one for you is key. PE Teacher Courses Offered at PE Scholar

Teaching about the latest events?

The light style is designed to comfort yet challenge practice and approaches. In the busiest period of people’s lives, the book is broken into digestible chunks to support, challenge and hopefully to reaffirm. Reaffirming and thought provoking Aspects of practice that perhaps were more prevalent in earlier years, in the infancy of careers or perhaps elements of practice that do require a retune or refocus. I have also seen the detrimental impact caused by the absence of a positive physical education relationship. The chasm between the two is my why. Making a positive difference I have seen the power of physical education. I have witnessed the physical, social and mental growth in young people that is brought about through a positive relationship with PE.

Hopefully, the chapter takeaways can help to task the reader with developmental actions that will further enhance practice. Wanna Teach PE book launch recording
