Our Professional Development Programme for Teachers offers a systematic approach to enhancing educators’ skills, knowledge, and confidence in delivering PE lessons. Here’s a breakdown of how it operates:
- Collaboration with PE Mentors: Experienced PE Mentors closely collaborate with your teachers within their own classrooms. They provide guidance, support, and practical insights to enhance teachers’ comprehension and implementation of effective PE teaching practices.
- Tailored CPD Programme: Each participating teacher receives a physical copy of the Kick out club CPD handbook, serving as a guide for their professional development journey. The handbook outlines key areas to focus on during the term and is highly adaptable to meet the individual needs of each teacher.
- Gradual Learning Process: The programme follows a progressive structure. Initially, teachers observe the mentor in action, gaining valuable insights into effective teaching strategies. As the programme advances, teachers gradually assume more responsibility, leading segments of the PE sessions themselves. Mentor feedback and guidance are consistently provided to ensure continuous improvement.
- Self-Review and Evaluation: Teachers engage in a self-review process at the beginning and end of the programme. This allows them to reflect on their progress, identify areas of growth, and track their professional development. The self-review also serves as a clear demonstration of the achieved results, both for individual teachers and the school as a whole. This evidence is valuable for Ofsted inspections, showcasing the effective utilisation of the PE & Sport Premium budget and the ongoing development of teachers.
By participating in our teacher CPD programme, schools benefit from a collaborative and targeted approach to enhancing PE delivery. Teachers receive personalised support and guidance, leading to improved teaching practices and enhanced outcomes for students. The self-review process ensures accountability and helps schools demonstrate the impact of their investment in professional development.
