Abstract
The Sport Education curriculum model turns twenty-one years old this year. And like any birthday there should be opportunity to reflect on the past, confirm and celebrate the present and to consider the future – to take stock on what has happened and what needs to happen. It is a time for the three Rs: reflection, reconsideration, and revision. In earlier times a 21st birthday was symbolised with a key signaling a transition into adulthood marked by a more settled and perhaps mature status. What might adult status mean for sport education and how has the earlier growth evolved? The Sport Education Curriculum (SEM) has been the focus of several texts, book chapters and more than 70 academic articles. It has established a ubiquitous status on the educational landscape, particularly in New Zealand secondary schools. This article traces the growth and maturation of SEM and invites readers to reflect on the current state of this curriculum model.
