Abstract The second article (Part 2) builds on the theoretical and contextual foundation developed in paper one by exploring in more depth how to teach tennis based on the use of USTA modified equipment and Tennis Canada’s play-practice-play program. Drawing on the enactivist cognitive approach to teaching tennis, this paper shows how tennis players, through participatory sense making processes and non-conscious behavioral mimicry, self-organize their action spaces in relation to affordances in the game environment, including their opponent. Using modification by adaptation games this paper highlights specific examples associated with common tactical concepts of time, space, risk and force that can be used to maximize players’ game-based learning.

Abstract The focus of this article is to offer tips for physical education teachers to develop and grow professionally. The six tips provided are not listed in order of importance, nor are they meant to be an exhaustive list. Instead, tips for enhancing professional development practices within the physical education profession are categorized based on associations with knowledge, practice, and student achievement.

Abstract Assessing student learning is important in education, particularly in K-12 schools. Quality assessment includes collecting, synthesizing, and interpreting information so that educators can make more informed decisions for continued teaching and student learning. With quality assessment, teachers can better evaluate the learning that has taken place among their students. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief overview of assessment concepts, and highlight examples and recommendations for quality assessment in physical education.

Abstract In this series of two articles, we connect complexity theoretical frameworks of ecological dynamics and enactivism to initiatives for learning to play tennis advocated by USTA and Tennis Canada. These initiatives were inspired by the International Tennis Federation commitment to reduce the complexity of learning tennis by rescaling the game for children and novice players. This article suggests that tennis teaching is shifting from a skill and drill approach to one embracing a play-practice-play idea in line with Ecological Dynamics. Considering players as dynamic and adaptive sense-making beings, this article outlines how these initiatives create the conditions to embrace insights from motor learning in relation to a constraints-led approach, and enactivism from embodied cognition. This first article concludes with applying an enactivist teaching strategy called modification by adaptation to these tennis initiatives, showing how players of diverse ability can challenge each other, promoting more game-based dynamic learning.

Abstract Student voice is frequently advocated for in Physical Education (PE). Yet, often when student voice is presented and described, what is found are strategies and methodologies that capture or give voice, where teachers work on rather than with students. This article presents six simple strategies I have successfully utilized to enact student voice in high school PE settings.

Abstract Mental toughness in athletes is a difficult concept to explain but essential for long-term success in sport. Fostering mental toughness requires both physical and mental challenges. In sport, this is most often executed during practice sessions. This article defines the concept of mental toughness and provides ideas on the role of coaches in establishing mental toughness in their athletes.

Abstract During the elementary years, children often struggle with learning how to properly manage their emotions. Emotions affect one’s cognitive and metacognitive abilities and responses to problems faced. It is important for children to learn these concepts at an early age to improve their lifelong emotional regulation abilities. Studies show that participation in physical activity and sports are correlated with positive emotional development. Particularly, games in physical education can foster emotional regulation during children’s movement. While physical educators are struggling with students’ control of emotions, this article aims to explain benefits of incorporating emotional regulation into physical education and how to teach it through games.

Abstract This article provides teacher educators practical strategies and guidelines to help utilize trauma-informed practices in teaching to develop and foster self-regulation among preservice teachers impacted by trauma, and through this intentional and purposeful process prepare future teachers to be trauma-informed. Additionally, the importance of trauma-informed pedagogy in mitigating trauma in the classroom is highlighted.
