How well do I take account of the needs of different classes and individual learners to facilitate and enhance progress? Do I plan for progress based on where learners are currently at? Does the curriculum facilitate and enhance progress?

Exploring these questions and more, this book examines what progress in physical education looks like and conditions for facilitating and enhancing the progress of individual learners across different domains of learning.
