What we are
Teachers and school leaders
Teacher Educators
Facilitators/Enablers
Purveyors of lifelong learningWhat we are not
Evaluators
Policy makers
Curriculum developers
www.pdst.ie
There is sometimes a bit of confusion around the remit of the PDST and what our role is within the broader educational system
So is important to outline what we are and indeed what we are not in order that people are clear regarding our role as distinct from other partners and agencies.
What we are NOT
Evaluators : It is not the role of the PDST to evaluate or judge the work of teachers or schools. We are not there to judge a school or teachers practice , their approach to planning etc. That is the role of the inspectorate. Our role is to support schools in developing good practice according to their identified goals and to help them embed that practice through a range of support models.
Policy Makers: PDST do not dictate or determine national policy. This comes from the Teacher Ed Section of the DES. All policy and reform imperatives are handed to the PDST and our role is to mediate that policy in the CPD setting and support schools in realising that policy /reform agenda in the school/classroom
Curriculum Developers : PDST do not create or write curriculum. We do not write syllabi or subject specs. That is the role of the NCCA. Our role is to take the developed curriculum and design CPD in order to mediate and help embed it in schools/classrooms through a range of models seminars, workshops, school support etc
What we ARE
Teachers and school leaders : PDST are all seconded teachers /principals we have the credibility of having worked as practitioners in classrooms and schools. WE have lived and learned through the profession and so are in a position to understand and empathise with our collegaues in schools
Teacher Educators : PDST are Teacher Educators within the Continuing Professional Development phase of the Teacher Ed Continuum ( after Initial Teacher Ed And Induction). Our work is rooted in the educating of adult learners according to their learning needs to support them in working with pupils/students
Facilitators /Enablers : The underpinning philosophy of the PDST is empowerment amd enablement of teacher and school leaders as professionals . We do not prescribe or tell teachers and schools what is right for their context nor do we provide ready made solutions to issues that schools understand best in their unique contexts. Our role is to
encourage schools to harness internal knowledge and expertise empower schools towards self sufficiency in professional learning towards enhanced teacher practice and improved learning outcomesdevelop schools as self driven communities of learners towards lessening dependency on external support.
Purveyors of lifelong learning : As teacher educators of continuing professional development we believe that CPD is a ongoing journey not a destination. Consequently our supports reflect the changing landscape of education and the need for all of us as educational professionals to stay current with these changes in the interest of providing the best quality teaching and learning experiences for pupils/students
2Presentation Notes
In-school supportwww.pdst.ie/schoolsupportSchool roll numberschoolsupport2015It is essential to fill out the on-line application form in order for your application to be considered
www.pdst.ie
PDST offers customised in-school support to all schools. In order to apply schools need to go to : www.pdst.ie/schoolsupport (demonstrate) and follow the link to the application form. Here they log in using their roll number and the password schoolsupport2015. They can then prioritise three areas for support. *Please note schools are generally allocated their first choice and if capacity allows might then be allocated their second/third choices.
School support can take many forms:Meetings with principal/deputy/in school management/groups of teachers/subject departmentsWhole staff daysCroke park meetingsIn class modeling

Some Definitions of Physical Literacy
www.pdst.ie
Physical Literacy is moving with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person.Canada
www.pdst.ie
Physical Literacy can be described as the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding that provides children with the movement foundation for lifelong participation in physical activity.U.K.
www.pdst.ie
The ability to use body management, locomotor and object control skills in a competent manner, with the capacity to apply them confidently, through play and practice, in settings which may lead to sustained involvement in sport and physical recreation.Northern Ireland

Physical LiteracyDeveloping Physical Literacy is the foundation of physical Education and School Sport
www.pdst.ie
In a school context developing physical literacy is the foundation of PE and school sport. 19Presentation Notes
Physical Literacy
Activities partaken in, Actions, Conduct, What you do, How often you do it
Building blocks for more complex movementsLocomotor Skills, Manipulative Skills, Stability Skills
Information and comprehension of the benefits of Physical ActivityAppreciation of how to profit from these benefits
A measure of the bodys ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities
www.pdst.ie
Physical Activity Behaviours:Regular participation in physical activity is associated with many health benefits for children as well as adults, including maintenance of a healthy weight, increased bone density, prevention and/or reduction of high blood pressure and substantial psychosocial elements (Okely et al. 2001). However, when an analysis of current levels of physical activity, physical education and sports participation of children and youth in Ireland was undertaken in 2010, only 19% of primary and 12% of post-primary school children met the National Guidelines on Physical Activity for Ireland of at least 60 minutes daily of moderate to vigorous physical activity.
Motor SkillsA key determinant of physical activity among children is the level of mastery of motor proficiency of the movement skills that are a foundation for the skills used in common forms of adult physical activity.
A growing body of scientific evidence shows that primary school childrens physical activity levels and fundamental movement skills (FMS) are interrelated and that childhood FMS proficiency influences adolescent and adult physical activity participation. The ability to master a variety of FMS therefore, is considered as one of the most important antecedents of life-long physical activity and, consequently, of a healthy lifestyle

Why focus on FMS?
www.pdst.ie
Initial Focus
Research has demonstrated that children who have a better motor proficiency may find it easier to be physically active and may be more likely to engage in physical activity when compared with peers of poorer motor skill competence. Subsequently children with poor motor proficiency may opt for a more sedentary lifestyle as a means of avoiding these movement difficulties.

www.pdst.ie
Students do not pick up fundamental movement skills naturally as part of their normal growth and development.It takes between 240 and 600 minutes of instruction time to become proficient in one fundamental movement skill.A small number of skills should be focused on in any one year
23Presentation Notes
www.pdst.ie
If you take the time to observe children playing in a playground you will notice some whose movements are fluid and graceful, who clearly experience the joy of successful movement and feel confident in their actions. Look further and you may notice some less confident children who may be hovering on the sidelines, causing fights with their peers, or simply sitting quietly by themselves . Its likely these children find participation in playground games and many other physical activities challenging, tiring and even embarrassing. They are worried they will miss a ball thrown to them in a game or fall over in a game of chase. Nobody wants them on their team. For these children, the opportunity to feel the intrinsic enjoyment of successful movement is denied. Their inadequacy is very public and subsequently humiliating this is much worse than the experience of the child who is yet to master math or reading. Their inadequacy is more easily concealed in a classroom.D.E.A.R.How fundamental are fundamental movement skills?Beth P. HandsUniversity of Notre Dame Australia, [email protected]

16 schools across the country will take part in a 12 week pilot to place the lens on FMS in their P.E. programmeA P.E. advisor will work with each school providing three Croke Park sessions, in class modelling and any other support requiredFeedback will be gathered to help develop the FMS resource pack and fine tune an approach to addressing physical literacy in primary schools nationwideThe Pilot Programme
www.pdst.ie
Teach your PE programme as normal. The pilot will affect how you teach not what you teachTake one fundamental movement skill to focus on for 4 weeks (3 skills in 12 weeks) Engage with assessment tools and track pupil progressProvide feedback to shape the pack and improve its potential
