At Active Youth NI, we understand the significance of teacher training days in the professional development of educators. We are dedicated to providing high-quality, customised training programs for schools that aim to enhance the skills and knowledge of teachers in designing, delivering, and monitoring physical activity sessions to meet the specific requirements of the CCEA (Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment) curriculum.

Our bespoke training programs are tailored to address the unique needs and goals of your school and its educators. We believe that a thorough, comprehensive understanding of the CCEA curriculum's objectives is essential to create engaging and effective physical activity sessions for students. As a result, our training focuses on providing teachers with the necessary tools and techniques to develop meaningful, age-appropriate activities that align with the curriculum.

During the training, we will cover various topics, including:

  1. Understanding the CCEA curriculum: Our trainers will provide an in-depth exploration of the CCEA curriculum's guidelines and expectations for physical activity sessions. This will help teachers develop a solid foundation for planning and delivering these activities.

  2. Designing engaging and inclusive physical activity sessions: We will discuss various strategies for creating diverse, motivating, and fun activities that cater to students of all abilities and backgrounds. Our focus will be on promoting an inclusive environment where every student feels encouraged and supported to participate.

  3. Effective delivery and classroom management: Our training will equip teachers with the skills and techniques necessary for effectively delivering physical activity sessions, including communication, organization, and classroom management. We will explore how to create a positive, safe, and structured learning environment that fosters student engagement and achievement.

  4. Monitoring and assessment: We will delve into the importance of ongoing monitoring and assessment to track student progress, adjust teaching strategies, and ensure the desired learning outcomes are achieved. Our trainers will provide practical tools and resources to help teachers accurately evaluate and document student performance.

  5. Continuous improvement and professional development: Our training emphasizes the importance of reflection and continuous learning in a teacher's professional journey. We will encourage teachers to share best practices, collaborate with their peers, and seek opportunities for further growth and development.

By participating in our tailored teacher training programs, educators will gain the confidence and expertise to deliver high-quality physical activity sessions that align with the CCEA curriculum, ultimately enhancing student learning experiences and outcomes.
