1 YST MEMBERSHIP YOUTH SPORT TRUST Continuing Professional Learning Opportunities for Primary Practitioners 2016/17 Transform your school through the power of PE and school sport

2 The Youth Sport Trust is a national charity that is building a brighter future for young people through the power of sport. We believe every child has a right to be physically active through high quality PE and school sport, helping them to be healthy and happy, succeed in life and contribute to society. With over 20 years experience we have developed best practice programmes, resources and training courses to help primary, secondary and specialist schools improve the wellbeing, achievement and leadership skills of all students. The Youth Sport Trust Quality Mark is an online self-review tool which provides schools with a nationally recognised kitemark for PE and school sport. The tool supports you to audit your PE provision and identify priorities for your PE and school development plan. Complete the Youth Sport Trust Quality Mark to understand the needs of your school and young people and decide which course or opportunity is right for you. The training staff received from the Youth Sport Trust has enabled us to significantly enhance the quality of the PE we deliver. As a result, we have seen our pupils achieve more across the curriculum. Denise Gladwell YST Headteacher Ambassador, St Breock Primary School Find out more: #YSTmembership 2 YOUTHSPORTTRUST.ORG/CPD

4 WELCOME Welcome to the second edition of the Youth Sport Trust continuing professional learning opportunities for Primary Practitioners. Our professional learning covers: innovative courses to develop the confidence of teaching practical PE, using PE to raise achievement across the school, subject coordinator training, and bespoke support and innovative products. Suggested pathways through the full range of professional learning can be found on pages 6-9. In addition to these professional learning opportunities, and new for 2016/17, all Youth Sport Trust level 2 and 3 member schools will have access to a National CPD Seminar. This will provide our member schools with cutting edge innovation and development to improve the quality and delivery of PE, school sport and physical activity. For 2016/17, this seminar addresses; The Power of an Active School. This seminar will summarise the evidence that; ACTIVE LEARNERS = HEALTHY LEARNERS = BETTER LEARNERS It will help you to audit your current practice and provide solutions to reduce sedentary behaviour and embed physical activity into the culture and structure of the school day. I therefore encourage you to spend some time looking at the professional learning opportunities detailed in this booklet.

This is a useful development tool available to members to help you to do this and then decide which course or opportunity is right for you.

30 5.0 NATIONAL PROGRAMMES The Youth Sport Trust is passionate about helping all young people to achieve their full potential. We have developed a number of exciting and innovative national programmes with partner organisations to achieve the best possible outcomes for young people through PE and school sport. The funding of these programmes enables us to offer priority access to Youth Sport Trust member schools, and offer the programmes at no additional cost to schools that meet the entry criteria as determined by the funding partner. 5.1 MATALAN SPORTING PROMISE TOP SPORT KS2 teachers Adults other than teachers who want to develop a curriculum and multi-skills approach to PE at KS2 Course description Sporting Promise is an award-winning grass roots sports initiative that has impacted on over three and a half million children in the last five years. Through a partnership between Matalan and the Youth Sport Trust, it aims to ensure that children across the country have vital access to sports activity in school. This one day practical course also provides delegates with resource cards, posters and access to online resources. Develops the confidence and competence of teacher's delivery of KS2 PE. Allows teachers to gain a clear understanding of how PE can support whole child development through the multi ability model. Gives teachers a clear framework to support differentiation and inclusion. Encourages teachers to use higher order questioning to challenge and extend learners. The programme helps practitioners unlock the potential of children (aged 7-11 years) in KS2 PE by: Developing their physical and social skills. Improving wider learning skills, such as confidence and managing individual emotions. Increasing their understanding of their own health and wellbeing. Quite a few of the children I teach have been able to improve or progress their motor skills onto the next level, because of the training I have received. Primary Teacher 30 YOUTHSPORTTRUST.ORG/CPD

31 5.2 SAINSBURY S ACTIVE KIDS 4 ALL INCLUSIVE PE (KS1 AND 2) Primary and secondary practitioners Students on Initial Teacher Training courses Adults other than teachers who support the PE curriculum Course description Sainsbury s Active Kids 4 All Inclusive PE (AK4A IPE) training equips delegates with the tools and practical ideas to fully include all children in PE curriculum. It aims to ensure that every child is appropriately challenged and able to show rapid and sustained progress. AK4A IPE training asks delegates to consider current PE provision in the context of a learner s journey, challenges them to identify how and why some children may be disengaged or excluded and follows a process aimed at overcoming barriers. Following the course, delegates will be given access to a bank of online resources. This is a five hour theory and practical workshop that can be delivered as two twilight sessions. With an aim of achieving outstanding inclusive PE, Sainsbury s AK4A IPE training will improve the participants knowledge and skill in: Enabling the inclusion of all children Challenging and progressing all children Being able to apply this in their own school environment.

32 6.0 ATHLETE MENTOR VISITS Chris Cook, a member of the ChangingLIVES team examples why he loves being a mentor: Working to support young people is what we do as mentors in the ChangingLIVES team. Whether it be inspiring a young person to find their spark of genius, or mentoring them to make smart choices and decisions, the work that we do in the ChangingLives team is centred around progress. Striving for small victories each and every day is what world class athletes do best. It is my role as a mentor to share my experience so that young people can learn how to create their own pathway to success through experiencing their own mini victories every day. Approaching their work with the I can be a little better than I was yesterday can make all the difference when harnessed properly.
