What I do
I help PE teachers clarify and simplify what assessment is and how it can be used effectively in their teaching, so they no longer wonder or guess about its purpose and impact in their PE classes. I guide them in using purposeful assessment approaches that not only support and enhance student learning but also empower them to make confident, informed decisions and create meaningful, engaging experiences for every student.
