""The text is a wonderful reflective approach for physical
education trainees in the areas of planning, instruction,
management, assessment, and feedback. The content is aligned with
current international research and UK thinking for the national
curriculum. It also promotes highly accepted pedagogical practices
through the training scenarios and reader questions in each chapter
to assist trainee comprehension. Moreover, it is pertinent that the
text focuses on teacher improvement so as to engage student
learning progression with an inclusive philosophy. Web prompts,
technology learning aid suggestions, and teacher self-observation
notes are helpful professional preparation modes. I highly
recommend the text for physical education trainee
curriculum/pedagogy programs and also existing practitioner
reflection."
Allan Sander, University of North Florida Coordinator of Physical
Education, United States"
"""Improving Teaching and Learning in Physical Education" is a
very useful text for initial teacher trainers and their trainees
alike. It deals with key issues facing today's professional, is
well set out making it easy to follow and as a result a useful
resource for ITT. I particularly like the way it refers to the QTS
standards highlighting each topics relevance in gaining qualified
teachers status. But the highlight for me is the way the author's
relate the topic to possible interview questions that trainees
could feasibly expect to encounter when applying for their first
post."
Julie Armstrong, PGCE PE Course Leader, Durham University
"The main strength of the book is that it is an easy to read,
practical text that relates direct to classroom practice. The
excerpts from practising physical education teachers at the
beginning of each chapter provide a useful introduction to the
theme that is to be explored. There are links to the National
Curriculum and other current strategies, which supports the strong
focus on teaching and learning in current physical education
climate that is evident throughout the book.
The format of the book with opportunities for reflection, case
studies, clear links to practice, exemplar lesson plans and
signposted further readings makes the book suitable for anyone
training as a secondary school physical education teacher."
Paul Carney, Programme Director BA/BSc Physical Education and
Sport & Exercise Science Canterbury Christ Church
