<p>In Episode 36, I had the opportunity to sit down with Ben Shields. Ben is an exceptional Physical Educator that I have admired from afar for some time, so I was thrilled to have the chance to talk 'shop'. </p> <p>Ben has an incredible understanding of teaching PE as a result of working in a variety of schools in 4 different countries. He shares some fantastic insights into driving engagement through the use of themed units of work, introduces the idea of 'Assessment BINGO', and discusses how important 'connection before content' has been throughout his teaching journey. </p> <p>Be sure to grab yourself a notebook, or open a fresh 'notes' page on your phone, because I promise you, you will want to jot down notes throughout this episode.</p> <p>To get in touch with Ben, head to:</p> <p>Twitter: <a href="https://x.com/BenShields2" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Ben Shields</a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-shields-77b3b0195/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Ben Shields</a></p> <p>If you wish to get in touch with HeadsUpHPE, please reach out on any of the below platforms;</p> <p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/HeadsUpHPE" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://twitter.com/HeadsUpHPE</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/headsuphpe/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/headsuphpe/</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/headsuphpe/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/headsuphpe/</a></p> <p>Email: <a href="https://[email protected]/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">[email protected]</a></p> <p>Or to see more content from ‘HeadsUpHPE, head to <a href="https://www.headsuphpe.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.headsuphpe.com/</a></p> <p>Introductory music is an original piece that was created by Josh on Garage Band.</p> <p>Introductory voice-over performed by <a href="https://www.fiverr.com/christopher_v89/record-a-quality-professional-australian-male-voice-over-00d7?source=order_page_summary_gig_link_title&amp;funnel=850b6d81c1edd6eb94cfbef92d85df75" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">christopher_v89</a> who can be found on <a href="https://www.fiverr.com/?source=top_nav" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Fiverr</a>.</p> <p><br /></p>
