Professional Devlopment for teachers and sports coaches

Professional Development is available across almost all school teaching disciplines. Until now, courses helping you further your teaching abilities in Physical Education were not.

As a university student the subjects of physiology, outdoor organisation and basic biomechanics are taught within the PE unit of work. The rules, skills, drills and techniques of many of the specific sports that are asked of teachers to be taught to students are only touched on at best. This is where TIS comes in.

Most teachers of PE, whether they be primary classroom teachers who need to incorporate physical education into their weekly programme or specific high school PE teachers gain the majority of there expertise in teaching certain sports incidentally. By this we mean that they may have grown up playing tennis, may have even coached some tennis so tennis, by chance becomes a sport they can teach.

So what about the other 7 sports that many school require their teachers to teach students throughout the course of the school year? As a tennis player / coach do you know effective and enjoyable soccer drills? How about basketball? Would you like to know how to put together a series of engaging and fun lessons in all the sports you have to teach throughout the year? TIS can help you do this.

Inception

Teachers In Sport began in London, England when a primary school teacher named Sarah walked into a tennis centre we were running in Wimbledon and asked ‘can I book some private lessons?’ Of course that was easily done. However, the request came with a twist.

The lessons Sarah wanted were not to sort out a dodgy backhand or faulty second serve. She wanted us to teach her how to teach tennis. Thus was born the first Teachers In Sport Professional Development course.

When we scratched the surface we found that in London there was a huge demand from schools and teachers who felt under skilled when it came to teaching PE and Sports. In quick time we sourced a team of expert trainers in their respective sports. Shortly after, courses all over London were being conducted and PE teachers were becoming more confident with their teaching of PE and sport.
