Physical Education and Wellbeing
This book explores how physical education (PE) can be best enacted in schools in order to optimize children’s well-being.
In a school that purports to develop the whole child, the school leaders as professionals are obligated to ensure Learning Values are deeply implemented. Many values identified by schools on display boards and websites are token and not genuinely understood by children and students - they are surface level enactment only. To reiterate, no programme or movement can enact values on behalf of the leadership team or community. Research recommends a socio-cultural approach and a whole school approach, but what does this truly look like in practice and how does a community implement deeply? Lauve Wellbeing uses the physical dimension as a base for all learning.
