Abstract According to SHAPE America, the goal of physical education “is to develop physically literate individuals.” Whitehead suggests that physically literate is a process that can be enriched with the development of the cognitive and affective learning domains through academic conversations. Although common to other content areas, the Think-Pair-Share teaching strategy in physical education is unique and can be utilized to develop Physical Literacy.
