How can I teach PE effectively and motivate my pupils? There are many teaching skills and issues covered in initial teacher education courses that student PE teachers must apply to their own subject. However, the complexity of teaching PE can make this difficult to do. This book focuses on the requirements of student PE teachers in relation to teaching skills and issues covered in initial teacher education courses. The new edition of this popular textbook draws together background information about teaching and about PE, basic teaching skills specifically related to physical education and broader knowledge and understanding of issues in the wider context of PE. The book is organised so that each chapter contains text and underpinning theory interspersed with activities that student teachers are asked to undertake either alone, with another student teacher, or with a tutor. This is not just a book of teaching tips but promotes critical thinking and reflection to enable student PE teachers to develop into reflective practitioners. Learning to Teach Physical Education in the Secondary School is an essential resource for any student teacher undertaking school-based initial teacher education to become a teacher of PE in secondary schools.

This is a unique research-based book which explores the lives and careers of physical education teachers from two perspectives. First, teachers' life stories illustrate how eight teachers became involved with sport, how they entered the physical education profession, why they developed particular teaching philosophies, and how they have tried to progress in their teaching careers. Secondly, a broader thematic analysis identifies issues which arise throughout the teachers' stories and locates them within the wider international research literature. Low status is identified as an enduring concern, and it is argued that this stems from a lack of empirical research into the educational outcomes which are claimed for physical education.
