Coaching for teachers an evaluation of the programme in Leicestershire

Abstract

Towards the end of 1999, the Institute of Youth Sport was invited by Leicestershire County Council/Leicestershire Education Authority (LCC/LEA) to evaluate the effects of the Coaching for Teachers programme on teaching and learning in school physical education and sport. This article focuses on teachers' perceptions of how the Coaching for Teachers programme has promoted their own professional development and the effectiveness of the programme resources in the school context. Suggestions are made for the future of the Coaching for Teachers courses
