The Masterclass will look at two key areas. Firstly educating PDHPE teachers about the impact of social behaviours and social outcomes on teachers, students and general learners, exploring the link between improved social behaviours and academic progress, which is proven. Secondly, introducing teachers to social theories and providing strategies to incorporate in both health and PE lessons in order to improve practice and see positive changes in their relationships with students, students relationships with their peers, students’ behaviour and student engagement in PE.
