This subject is designed to prepare Teacher Candidates in the Master of Teaching (Early Childhood and Primary) for the teaching of Health and Physical Education as a generalist classroom primary teacher. It does so by drawing on the skills of high quality classroom teaching and applying these in the conduct of Health and Physical Education, both inside and outside the classroom. While Health and Physical Education is an integrated Learning Area within the Victorian Curriculum, the subject is structured via two parallel paths, taken by all Teacher Candidates, one of which emphasizes teaching of the Personal, Social and Community Health strand, the other the Movement and Physical Activity strand. Both of these paths focus on unit development in order to situate the curriculum content in activities that are meaningful to the children involved. A proportion of classes are conducted in primary schools local to the University in order to provide a concrete context within which the teaching of Health and Physical Education may be experienced.
