The Australian National Curriculum is currently being implemented for the 'core' KLAs of English, Mathematics, Science and History. While I obviously understand and appreciate the fundamental importance of English and Mathematics for literacy and numeracy skills I find it suprising that Health and PE has not been included in this first roll out, instead relegated to the very last phase of implementation. As a future HPE teacher I feel that my teaching area is of paramount importance. Though the Australian Curriculum site looks great, I am frustrated that HPE is not regarded in the same league as traditionally 'more important' subjects.
Our tutorials this week focused on behaviour management techniques. I found that many of these techniques are things I already use. It was great, however, to tease them out a little more and really analyse the strengths and weaknesses of each technique.
