CPD/Professional Learning

S.B GYMNASTICS has been working closely with teaching staff from a number of schools.

Our staff deliver the sessions with the teacher's assisting. When the teacher's feel more confident we then assess them delivering their own sessions under our guidance and supervision. They are also given guidance on how a session should be structured.

 

CPD for Gymnastics is available for either a half term/full term or for a full year. Obviously, the more sessions that are covered the more experience the teacher's will gain. 

During the sessions the Coach will outline how a session is structured, how to support the children during various moves and most importantly how to do it safely. We have found that a lot of teacher's feel uncomfortable coaching Gymnastics to a certain standard because they don't have much subject knowledge or if they do, struggle to deliver the session correctly because they haven't witnessed it first hand.

 

· The teacher will watch the coach deliver the sessions, make notes, and check for key areas such as learning objectives, structure of sessions and differentiation delivered.

· At the end of each session the class teacher will have the opportunity to ask the coach any questions about how to implement these skills in their own practice.

 The teachers will have the opportunity to lead their own lesson with the support of the coach

Our Gymnastics coaches are able to deliver Gymnastics as P.P.A cover, as part of the P.E curriculum or through continual professional development, working closely with the teaching staff to give them the tools and confidence to eventually deliver the lessons themselves.
