The module user groups may include undergraduate PE teacher training, primary school PE teacher training and In-service training. This module aims to develop the knowledge competence and skills required to operate as a PE teacher in an inclusive setting.
The model of teacher training used in the Institute of Technology Tralee proved to be very successful and with the input of European project partners and feedback from consultation conducted by all partners the model, module and resource pack contents were refined to produce a module that can be utilized in PE teacher training, primary school PE teacher training, and In-service Education throughout Europe.
Resources produced during the project include a functional map; a knowledge competence and skills framework; a model, a module; a module delivery resource pack containing 360 PowerPoint slides with accompanying notes, handouts, tutorials and practical’s; an online version of the EIPET module, a website, a CD of the resource pack, a printed version of the resource pack, and a USB key version of the resource pack.
