TRAUMA INFORMED PE
ONLINE TEACHER TRAINING COURSE

 

The problem

• In today's post lockdown educational landscape, many young people have experienced trauma, making it challenging for them to engage, display appropriate behaviour, and achieve academic success.

• We have spoken to dozens of brilliant PE teachers grappling with this challenge over the last few years.

• As a Physical Education teacher, you understand the power of PE in positively shaping students' physical and emotional wellbeing.  However, addressing the impact of trauma in your classes can be complex, especially with limited resources and professional development opportunities available.

 

The Solution

• We have developed an online teacher training course that promises to equip you with the knowledge, strategies, and tools to effectively integrate trauma informed practices within your physical education curriculum.

• We will guide you through a 7 step process to transform relationships, engagement, behaviour, attendance and progress within 90 days and your children's life chances in the long term.

• We appreciate that your time is precious so we have intentionally created this concise course so that it meets the needs of your busy schedule and location, wherever you are in the world..

 

Our Course will:

1. Enhance Your Awareness:

• We will deepen your understanding of trauma's impact on students' physical and emotional wellbeing.

• You will gain insights into evidence-based theories and research-backed strategies to create a psychologically safe and inclusive environment.​

 

2. Provide Expert Guidance:

• We have collaborated with leading experts in the field of trauma-informed education and physical education to offer you valuable insights and personalised support.

• Through video modules, articles and reflective tasks, you'll receive expert guidance tailored to your specific challenges and opportunities in your PE department and your wider school.

​

3. Foster Your Practical Application:

• Our course is designed to be practical and actionable.

• You will learn how to use exercise and play to develop your children’s sense of belonging, widen their window of tolerance, implement trauma informed behaviour management techniques, and create engaging and inclusive activities. We'll empower you to transform student relationships leading to greater engagement, attendance, behaviour, and progress.

​

4. Cultivate A Supportive Community For You:

• As part of our course, you will join a vibrant and supportive community of educators who share your passion for trauma informed teaching.

• Engage in online forums, discussions, and collaborations to learn from each other's experiences, successes, and challenges. This network of support extends beyond the course, creating a lasting impact.

Proof

• Our Trauma Informed PE Teacher Training Course is led by Neil Moggan, an experienced Director of Sport, who has witnessed first hand the incredible impact of trauma informed approaches.

• Neil is a TISUK trauma informed practitioner who implemented this approach in his own school, resulting in remarkable improvements in relationships with students, especially those facing significant challenges in a post-lockdown education world.

• Through the implementation of trauma informed practices, Neil saw a drastic reduction in send-outs by 95% in just one term. This shift created a safe and supportive environment where students felt understood and valued, leading to increased engagement and a significant boost in progress and attendance.

• In particular, Neil's most challenging students in his exam PE groups, experienced a remarkable increase in their predicted results by 1.5 grades. Their attendance also improved by 5%. This demonstrated the power of trauma informed practices in positively impacting academic outcomes.

• Not only did his young people benefit, but Neil himself experienced a renewed sense of joy and fulfilment in his teaching. By creating an environment that prioritised wellbeing and connection, teaching became enjoyable again, leading to an improvement in his own wellbeing.

• From road testing various techniques and approaches in his school, Neil created our Recover Roadmap, a 7 step process to guide you how to implement trauma informed practice in your PE department to transform relationships, engagement, behaviour and progress in the short term, and your children's life chances in the long term.
