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. 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?

I have witnessed the physical, social and mental growth in young people that is brought about through a positive relationship with PE. As such, the book speaks from the experiences of a range of outstanding PE-People but without heavy, academic language and referencing. 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?
