COURSE DESCRIPTION

This GAA Teacher Summer Course is a blended course using the Association's new Learning and Development Community Portal.

 Three days face-to-face and approximately eight hours on online modules to be completed thereafter.

 The course is largely practical-based and aims to introduce teachers to Gaelic games - hurling, Gaelic football, camogie, ladies Gaelic football, handball and rounders.

The main objective of the courses is the advancement of teachers' pedagogical, teaching, learning and management skills in the context of the primary school physical education (PE) curriculum.

The courses are delivered by GAA Games Development staff and tutors.

Participants will develop the ability to deliver elements of the PE curriculum through the medium of Gaelic games.

An emphasis on numeracy and literacy programmes highlight the opportunity to integrate PE through a teaching curriculum by using the various resources developed by the GAA.
