ACHPER Victoria October 2020 – Game Sense Presentation
A big thank you to ACHPER Victoria for allowing me to be a part of their ‘Teachers in Action’ series this October.

This blog post is a place for me to share the resources I will be using for this presentation. Those attending or those who are looking for more information can find it here: Google document…

I have been revisiting his book on Cooperative learning in Physical Education and Physical Activity (Casey and Dyson) and Casey’s new blog post series about model-based instruction has also had me reflecting heavily on my practice and what I am doing in my classroom.
