As a member of school staff, your understanding of concussion is critical in firstly, identifying and managing a potential concussion safely and, secondly, helping students successfully recover from their injury upon their return to school. Concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that carries serious health risks, which are exacerbated by incorrect concussion management steps. In a student's typical day at school, a concussion can occur during PE, playing a school sports match, playing on the school yard, or even tripping and falling in the classroom. In what can be a chaotic time, knowing the appropriate management steps can make all the difference. 

The third and final phase of these seminars will take place this February. Participants will revise the concept of physical literacy, paying particular attention to the locomotor and stability skills explored in seminars 1 and 2. Seminar 3 will focus on manipulative skills, through the Games strand of the curriculum. The wide range of activities, supplementary support materials and templates for planning and assessment that are presented in our comprehensive resource and online at www.scoilnet.ie/pdst/physlit , will also be explored on the day.

The purpose of the seminar is to

• demonstrate the PDST’s Move Well, Move Often Physical Literacy resource pack through active participation
• upskill participants in using Fundamental Movement Skills as a lens for developing Physical Literacy through the PE curriculum
• enable participants to support other teachers in their school using the PDST Physical Literacy resource pack

This workshop will focus on innovative teaching techniques designed to allow students of all abilities achieve their potential.  This is particularly suited to teachers who are looking to freshen up their approach to both presentation and revision and to use active learning methodologies in their classrooms.   

This seminar provides participants with an engaging and stimulating Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) approach to Measures in Mathematics with meaningful connections to STEM. By experiencing practical activities that embody IBL, teacher participants will explore pupil misconceptions in Measures and respond by giving consideration to developing pupils’ mathematical proficiencies. Participants will also explore innovative approaches to planning and assessing IBL lessons. Two teachers per school can apply to attend and substitute cover is available. Each teacher must apply individually online via www.pdst.ie/onlinebooking
