$25.00![Grouping stratgies workshop](https://www.achpernsw.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Personal-and-social.png)
Join Professor Dawn Penney from Edith Cowan University to explore mixed-ability class groupings in physical education.
While there is extensive international literature on different forms of ability grouping in physical education, particularly streaming by competency, mixed-ability classes has attracted comparatively little research attention.
Dawn’s research looks at the complexities and potential inequities that can result in mixed-ability groupings in PE classes. This presentation will look at the importance of grouping strategies in shaping understanding of ability in PE and influencing students’ opportunities for learning and participation.
