Join educator and Sport for Life physical literacy lead Joe Flavel as he shares trends he has observed throughout his 20-year career in physical education that affect students’ physical literacy development.

This session will be invaluable for anyone interested in physical literacy development, whether you’re an educator, administrator, program coordinator, physical literacy leader or just looking to expand your understanding of how to foster growth in participants. Hear important insights and best practices from the education system that will inspire you to proactively support the development of your participants’ physical literacy journeys.
