New Course to Give Primary Teachers Confidence in PE
Primary school teachers can sometimes lack confidence when it comes to teaching PE, so an innovative new course is being offered at Bishop Grosseteste University to build on their skills and their self-assurance.
PE for Key Stages 1 & 2 is a one-day short course in June led by Karen Breen. It will focus on helping teachers and carers to meet the requirements of the new National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 and extending those to Key Stage 2.
The course will also look at what Ofsted expects to see in a good to outstanding PE lesson and is an ideal course for teachers, teaching assistants and student teachers.
“I am passionate about physical education,” said Karen, an education advisor working across the East Midlands to offer schools, universities and private companies support with all aspects of primary PE.
“I believe it should maintain a core stability within the timetable of a school to develop not only a child’s physical, mental and social skills but also aspects of a child’s character that may go unnoticed or unaddressed in other subject areas.”
The course takes place on Friday 17th June 2016 at BGU from 9.30am until 4pm and costs £80.
