Implementing Game Sense in Primary Physical Education – Community of Practice
Join our Community of Practice (CoP), led by experienced Active Educator Jaxon Hogan, designed for primary PE teachers looking to move beyond traditional drills and create more engaging, meaningful learning through Game Sense. Across six interactive online sessions, you’ll explore how to design lessons that develop decision-making, maximise participation, and connect learning to real game and movement contexts—including how these principles extend beyond games into areas like athletics.
This six-session CoP is built around a discussion-driven, teacher-led model, where learning comes from both practical input and shared experience. You’ll gain practical strategies, clear teaching purpose, and a supportive network of educators all working towards the same goal: more engaged students and more meaningful learning in PE.
