Reviews for Mastering Primary Physical Education

A useful guide for the classroom teacher. * SEN Magazine * This easy-to-read book provides support and guidance for those wishing to develop their own competence in the delivery of physical education. Photographs of skills and activities, alongside `pause for thought' moments, allow the reader to reflect on their own teaching to enhance the learning opportunities of all pupils. Covering both the early years and primary phases of education, the reader is encouraged to develop their understanding of the progress pupils make over time and the specific characteristics of performance they can expect to see. * Julia C. Lawrence, Head of Teacher Education Subject Group, School of Education and Social Sciences, University of Hull, UK * Extremely accessible, easy to read. Provides an excellent range of authentic activities. Very clear practitioner focus. I particularly like the `real world' nature of the case studies and the guided reflective activities. * Ruan Jones, Senior Lecturer in Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, Leeds Beckett University, UK *
