Abstract

Physical education teacher leadership has a profound impact on the personal and instructional development of teachers. In the teaching process of physical education teachers, leadership is an important ability among the comprehensive abilities of individuals, and it can be said that the level of leadership reflects the comprehensive quality of physical education teachers to a certain extent. In this paper, we discuss the influencing factors of physical education teachers' leadership and explore the ways to improve physical education teachers' teaching leadership through interview method and literature method. Physical education teacher leadership has multiple influences that encompass individual teachers' overall competencies as well as school-level influences. Therefore, by developing PE teachers' professional identity and improving their cognitive abilities, as well as their classroom organization and management skills and communication and interaction skills, we can improve PE teachers' leadership and achieve the overall improvement of individual PE teachers and the positive development of schools.
