Hello everyone… welcome back to the PE insights podcast. Conversations about physical education with me your host NW bought to you by the fantastic team at PE Scholar. I hope you’re well. As I release this episode on the week which held the UK’s National Thank a Teacher’ day, I’d like to give a shoutout to every teacher, for their endless hard work and selflessness in striving to improve the lives of every young child. Sincerely, thank you. Let’s talk about today’s episode - in this conversation I catch up with the brilliant Ben Shields, we discuss all things PE; international perspectives, curriculum design and our shared 4 C’s. In the episode we make reference to the PYP curriculum and if you’re sat there wondering what this is, I’ve put a link in the show notes for you to take a look at.
