Professor Jo Harris | Loughborough University“I am eternally grateful to the Association as it has helped me throughout my career as a PE teacher and then a PE teacher educator. Being a member meant that I was able to keep up to date with advances in my subject through reading journals and engaging in professional development opportunities where I learnt from experts in the field.”
