Physical Literacy in Practice

Added by Ashley Casey at 10:15 on Thursday 19 January 2012

Welcome to the discussion area of Physical Literacy in Practice on PEPRN

 It would be excellent if we could share experiences of ways we are working towards the promotion physical literacy  - in the early years, the primary years , the secondary years, in young adulthood and with the older adult population. Please head your contribution appropriately so that others can comment and/or share their experiences. School, coaching and leisure contexts all welcome.

 I would like to share with you an initiative we have just started, to look at Physical Literacy in the Secondary School. Below are listed those teachers who have offered to experiment with a range of approaches. Please comment on any of these to initiate a discussion. Thank you.

Physical literacy has really begun to take hold in Canada. Major institutions such as Sport Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Education are using PL as an organizing framework for their curricula. Below is a link to the newly revised (2010) elementary (1-8) health and physical education curriculum in Ontario. You can download the complete document in pdf here: http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/elementary/health.html pp. 3-7 outline how the MoE hopes physical and health literacy shape HPE programs. Because elementary HPE in Ontario is mostly taught by classroom teachers who have little in the way of pre-service HPE teacher education (sometimes only 12 hours of instruction), I wonder how successful the implementation of a physical literacy-based curriculum will be in individual schools?
