The Physical Education Teacher Academy brings together teacher educators and teachers across Europe to reimagine the future of physical education and teacher education. We provide evidence-based resources to support teacher training.
The Physical Education Teacher Academy aims to promote equitable outcomes in the field of physical education for school children and youth, as well as pre-service teachers, in-service teachers and teacher educators. We are dedicated to providing high-quality resources that support the initial and ongoing professional learning of physical education teachers and teacher educators.
In particular, a primary outcome of the PhysEd-Academy project is to develop a pedagogy of physical education teacher education by identifying, developing, and testing a set of signature pedagogies that can be used across PE teacher education in Europe and around the world. These and other resources related to both Research and Education resulting from the project are freely accessible and can be found by browsing the tabs below.
PhysEd-Academy involves a series of international research projects based in teacher education and school-based PE programs. Insights and outputs generated from these projects are available open access.
Outcomes of the PhysEd-Academy project hold important implications for both initial teacher education and continuous professional development programs. Resources for both are shared freely as they are being developed.
