Routledge Workplace Learning in Physical Education - Teacher Stories

Workplace Learning in Physical Education explores how pre-service and beginning teachers develop professional knowledge within the teaching environment and staffroom. Drawing on a five-year research project, this book presents narratives and stories from educators navigating unfamiliar and demanding workplace settings. It investigates the concepts of 'professional' and 'workplace learning' by examining real experiences from early-career teachers in physical education. The book critically analyses relevant literature to understand how teachers build expertise through their working environments, offering valuable insights for teacher educators, school leaders, and those entering the profession who seek to understand the complexities of professional development beyond formal training.
