Professional development/ coaching awards

Professional Development Board for Physical Education (PDB-PE)

The PDB-PE is made up of representatives from BAALPE, PEA UK and the Youth Sport Trust. It has been established to assure the quality of continuing professional development of all teachers of physical education. The role of the PDB-PE is to: • provide a continuing professional

development framework embracing the range of development routes

• design and implement a strategy for the quality assurance of professional development provision for teachers of physical education for the benefit of young people and to raise standards in PE

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is currently a hot topic in education. Recent government initiatives have pledged greater funding for teachers to access relevant, focussed and effective professional development. For further details on the work of the PDB-PE, contact the Youth Sport Trust (01509 226600). Below is an overview of existing opportunities for teachers. Many national governing bodies of sport and national organisations organise training opportunities and resources relevant for teachers. It is not possible to list all the courses offered, but below a summary is given of some of those courses thought to be most relevant for teachers. Most organisations run a more extensive range of courses than indicated below and details of these or further information about a listed course can be obtained from the relevant contact address. Sports development officers (usually based at the local council) are a useful point of contact to find out what coaching awards and other relevant courses are being offered locally.

Healthy Living Blueprint for Schools Published in 2004, this document has been produced to support schools help children to lead healthier lives. It sets out five key objectives to help schools create a healthier environment for children and there is practical advice about how to integrate these options into the curriculum. One of the five key objectives relates to schools providing ‘high quality Physical Education and School sport and promoting Physical Activity as part of a lifelong healthy lifestyle’. There is also an accompanying poster which can be downloaded or ordered online: www.teachernet.gov.uk/healthyliving National Healthy Schools The following publications relate to the DfES and Department of Health’s National Healthy School Programme and Standard which encourages and supports schools through locally-run Healthy Schools Programmes to adopt whole school approaches to promoting physical and emotional health.

By 2009, the Government wants every school to be working towards achieving national Healthy School status and from September 2005, Ofsted will expect schools to demonstrate how they are contributing towards the five national outcomes stipulated by ‘Every Child Matters’ and the Children Act 2004. Gaining national Healthy School status provides rigorous evidence of this. For more information about the NHSP, contact your local programme co-ordinator through your LEA or primary care trust www.lhsp.org National Healthy School Status: A Guide for Schools This guidance is intended for all schools and outlines the National Healthy Schools Programme (NHSP) and what schools need to do to gain national Healthy School Status. This new guidance has recently been published because from 1 September 2005, there is now a more rigorous approach to the programme and schools must fulfil criteria in all four themes, of which physical activity is one, to satisfy the requirements of national Healthy School status.
