Mastering Behaviour Management: Empowering coaches to create a supportive environment for every pupil.

Are you a sports coach looking to create a supportive environment for every pupil? The new Behaviour Management course from Aspire:ED is here to help you empower your coaching techniques and positively impact your pupils' lives.

As a coach, you understand the importance of creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all children. PE, school sports, and physical activity enhance physical and mental well-being and teach valuable life skills. However, children come from different backgrounds and possess varying behavioural challenges, which can pose a challenge for coaches in primary schools.

To help you navigate these challenges, we've compiled some top tips for behaviour management.

  1. Reinforce positive behaviour even when you're not there: As a sports coach, it's essential to consistently reinforce positive behaviour, even when you're not physically present. We understand that periodic visits to primary schools can pose challenges in effectively managing behaviour....

New qualification: 1st4sport Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Multi-Skills Development in Sport 

For most people, professional development means building new skills, enhancing performance and unlocking opportunities. For teachers and coaches, it means all those things and more.

Keynote: Swim England

It’s part of the national curriculum, boosts physical and mental health, and is both a life and a lifesaving skill.

And yet 1 in 4 children leave school unable to swim.

Primary schools are faced with a multitude of challenges when it comes to delivering swimming and water safety lessons. Funding, teacher training, curriculum pressures, facility access, just to name a few.

The fear is, if action isn’t taken, that 1 in 4 could rise to 6 in 10 children by 2025.

Speedo’s Swim United campaign is calling on the Government to invest in primary school swimming to affect real change.

And we too must unite to take action, to do everything we can to ensure every child has the opportunity to learn to swim.

Which is why we’re delighted to announce that Ashley Jones, Water Safety and Drowning Prevention Manager for Swim England, will be joining us at The Active Primary Schools Conference to deliver a keynote speech.

Ashley is responsible for supporting school...
