Engaging Every Student in Primary PE

Session Description

Led by experienced Active Educators, Ben Lepore and Cayden Woods, we invite primary PE teachers to join us on a journey as we endeavour to engage every student—not just the confident or capable ones. Throughout the session, participants will explore what engagement really looks like in PE and how to design lessons that maximise participation, decision making and learning through game based approaches.

Learning Outcomes

What Does Engagement Actually Look Like in PE? - Unpack the difference between engagement, compliance and “fun,” and build a shared understanding of what meaningful engagement looks like in PE.
Why Games Work (and Why Drills Often Don’t) - Explore the shift from drills to game-based learning, focusing on decision-making, student ownership and reducing downtime.
Differentiation Without the Overwhelm – Learn how to include all students through “same game, different challenge” using rules, space and roles
