Event: Raising the Bar in Physical Education – 2 March 2013 (Edinburgh)

Education Scotland, in partnership with sportscotland, is hosting this free event at Tynecastle High School in Edinburgh on Saturday 2 March to increase the knowledge and understanding of final year undergraduate primary teachers, postgraduate primary teachers and primary NQTs in physical education and to build their confidence and capacity to deliver quality lessons in this area.

The Scottish Government has provided an opportunity to raise the bar in physical education through a commitment to ensure schools provide at least two hours per week of high-quality physical education in primary schools and at least two periods per week for learners in S1-S4.  

This event will explore pedagogy that facilitates the significant aspects of learning and some of the perceived barriers to meeting the commitment. Practitioners will have the opportunity for professional dialogue and discussion as well as participating in practical workshops.
