ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights the central role of teachers in responding to individual pupil needs and creating significant and worthwhile opportunities for all pupils to participate and compete in PE.
Schools comprise communities of pupils with diverse needs, therefore planning for this diversity is of paramount importance. Underpinning the notion of the development of opportunities that cater for individual pupil needs is the principle of equality of opportunity. Such a statement is often raised strategically within school policy documentation. However, if you are to respond to the challenge of providing equality of opportunity for all pupils, whilst catering for diversity of need, you have to plan effectively for differentiated teaching and learning, then regularly review and evaluate how effective this has been.
