ABSTRACT
Central to the process of developing your ability as a teacher are the numerous opportunities and experiences you get in schools. Whenever you enter a new situation you accumulate a vast amount of information very quickly. Early in your school experiences, much of your time is spent collecting general information about the PE department and work of PE teachers. These aspects are considered in Chapter 1. At this stage you are shifting from viewing teaching from a pupil perspective to a teacher perspective. The intention of these early school experiences is for you to challenge the views you hold about PE and to consider your own preferred approaches to teaching.
