Pedagogy

Pedagogy deals with the how of teaching. How do we best engage students with the curriculum content? What pedagogical approaches and models best suit the profile of our students, the context, the learning area and environmental factors? Do we know how our students learn best? What skill sets do we need to possess? If they are not learning, struggling or not meeting the outcomes, what's our next move? As PE teachers, we need to acquire, deepen and expand our pedagogical repertoire and select those that are fit for purpose and student profile. What are they?
