Physical education is a subject that explicitly teaches the necessary knowledge and skills for working with and relating to others, and provides the learning opportunities to develop these skills (seniorsecondary.tki.org.nz).

In order for students to achieve success in physical education, they need teachers who:

create supportive learning environments, encourage reflective thought and action, enhance the relevance of new learning, facilitate shared learning, make connections to prior learning and experience, provide sufficient opportunities to learn, inquire into teaching-learning relationship.

Heather Lindsay, PENZ Subject Advisor, and Dr Maureen Legge, independent education consultant, discuss the use of external providers in physical education in primary and intermediate schools.
