teacher centered to student centered instruction.
Teachers must establish strong managerial system with
rules, routines, and expectorations.
Teacher then has time to instruct, facilitate, and
assess student learning more effectively.

season. Sport education has no first strings, and no substitutes, all
participants get equal playing time.
