Inspiring Early Years PE, physical activity and physical development

It’s been in the pipeline for a while and now we are thrilled to be launching a brand new Aspire:ED online course.  

Designed and taught by Helen Battelley, Inspiring Early Years PE, physical activity and physical development is, as you may have guessed from the title, a course for those who work with (or aspire to work with) younger children aged around 3 – 7 years.  

 As with all of our courses, it offers you the flexibility to study wherever, whenever and however you want to. You can learn in short bursts or do longer stints if you have time. You can pause if you’re interrupted or go back and repeat anything you’re unsure about. With Aspire:ED, you are in control.  

 

What is the course about?  

The three-module course will help you to develop an understanding of how best to support children physically in the Early Years. Combining both practical and theoretical content, you will gain:  

  • A depth of understanding to create inspiring physical learning opportunities within a range of contexts. 
  • The skills to adapt an environment to best support physical learning.  
  • The tools to create a lesson plan that elicits excellent responses from learners.  
  • A wider understanding of the physical and social challenges facing the Early Years sector. 
  • Greater confidence in the areas of movement play and physical activity.
