Physical Literacy for Young Learners focuses on developing foundational movement skills essential for children’s physical development and overall well-being. This course emphasizes the importance of engaging children in various physical activities that promote not only fitness but also social skills, teamwork, and self-confidence. Participants will explore innovative teaching strategies and practical applications that can be implemented in educational settings, ensuring that young learners are equipped with the skills necessary to lead active and healthy lives.
The course structure includes hands-on projects that encourage collaboration and creativity. Participants will have the opportunity to publish their findings and methodologies in the Cademix Magazine, contributing to the broader discourse on physical education. By the end of the program, learners will have a comprehensive understanding of how to foster physical literacy in children, addressing diverse needs and learning styles. The final project will involve designing a physical literacy program tailored for a specific age group, incorporating assessment techniques to measure effectiveness.
