real nonsense episode 5: Rethinking sport: Activity led curriculums and their impact on learning

Join hosts Toni Smith, Ronnie Heath, and John Parsons as they tackle a common but questionable practice in physical education: Sport-first curriculums.

The team discusses why PE programs often prioritise specific sports over comprehensive skill development, the unintended consequences for pupils, and practical solutions for creating child-centred learning experiences.

Whether you're a PE teacher, coach, or education professional, this episode offers valuable insights on building curricula that develop fundamental movement skills and positive learning behaviour’s while still incorporating sport in a meaningful way.

Discover how making sport the servant, not the master, of your physical education program is a much improved approach.
