Collaborating with Teachers to foster Social Justice through Health and Physical Education
To Foster Equity and Social Justice through Health and Physical Education
As a learning area which privileges embodied activities and experiences, Health and Physical Education (HPE) provides the ideal educational space for fostering relationships, social cohesion and understanding. However, to deliver on these promises requires teaching practices that focus on these outcomes. The mission of PhysEquity is to create a space for a collaborative community of Health and Physical Education professionals to share ideas, resources and experiences of teaching for and about social justice in HPE. We welcome contributions from all sectors of the HPE community from early childhood through to tertiary institutions. Please help us to make HPE a subject that provides meaningful experiences for all students.
