Physical education can often present unique challenges for maintaining positive student behaviour, as it takes place in large, dynamic spaces with high noise levels and the need to safely manage movement, equipment, and interactions (Cothran & Kulinna, 2015). The fast-paced nature of PE, along with varying learning environments such as halls, outdoor pitches, and swimming pools (Alstot & Alstot, 2015), can contribute to conflicts and disruptions. They are an inevitable part of the PE lesson.

Given these challenges, teachers need effective strategies for conflict resolution to foster a supportive and productive learning atmosphere. This resource, and the accompanying resources below, are designed to help teachers navigate these challenges in the PE lesson by providing practical approaches to conflict resolution, promoting positive student interactions, and ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all learners.
