Description

#PrimarySchoolsSportsSeminar

This FREE 3-hour seminar will support teachers to encourage primary school pupils to participate in sport and physical activity, particularly those currently inactive or hard to engage. Through a range of presentations and teacher’s own case studies, this seminar will look at a number of supports and key issues surrounding the involvement of children in sport.

The seminar aims to be informative and practical with lots of ideas and initiatives that you will be able to bring back and implement in your own school. There will also be plenty of opportunities for networking, with information stands from relevant projects and organisations such as the PDST, Active Schools Flag, Irish Primary PE Association, local sports development officers and National Governing Bodies.

Taking place as part of the European Week of Sport, this event has been provided with grant funding and assistance from the Irish Sports Council. The organisers would also like to thank the local Education Centres, IPPEA, PDST and CARA Centre for their support in providing this information seminar.


The Seminar Will Include:

  • A look at the latest research in the area of participation through the life cycle, focusing on Primary Level; both pathways & influences.
  • Understanding the provision of professional development and supports for teachers in sport and physical activity. Empowering teachers and schools to provide the best physical education for all pupils.
  • Supports the LSPs can provide in driving & increasing participation within the school setting.
  • A look at the Active Schools Flag, Active Schools Week and other national programmes your school might consider.
  • Insight into how three local schools are adding to their PE curriculum on a daily and weekly basis; increasing regular participation in sport and physical activity among their pupils.
