Ulster Coaches train teachers’ key skills

Ulster GAA Coaches Owen Mooney and Teresa McNabb recently put on a staff inservice day for the Moat Primary School.

The day consisted of practical aspects where the teachers had a task and they had to coach the rest of the group through a warm up, a game and a skill. They were also given lesson ideas using benches, cones, bean bags, scarves and on utilising equipment that is in the school already.

Finally the teachers were given ideas on classroom activities they could use in order to energise the children to improve their learning and concentration during the day. The day was enjoyed by all and the school are looking forward to putting into practice all the ideas that Owen and Teresa provided.
