This podcast voices the 51st PEPRN 'major themes in PE' blog and asks if by having a predominately games focused curriculum and short teacher education programmes (in the UK at least) if we are only preparing our future PE teachers to teach games. If things in PE are going to continue to improve then do we need to rethink our curricula?
