ABSTRACT
In Chapter 1 you were provided with a picture of a whole lesson so that you know where you are going and what you are aiming to achieve and can judge when you have got there. In this chapter you are provided with a larger picture of the subject through the educational purposes or intentions of the curriculum. These educational purposes clarify what you are aiming to achieve and, hence, serve to guide your planning of a series of lessons (units of work) and planning and delivery of individual lessons, including choice of content and teaching strategies. You will probably want to return to Chapters 1 and 2 regularly throughout your initial teacher education (ITE) course to remind you of what you are aiming to achieve in PE.
