Today a TURAS Teacher Coaching Pack has been added to the already considerable resources available on the TURAS Section of our website.

In this pack a range of activities are set out, that cater for all age groups within the school environment. We look at adaptable and practical applications of our TURAS Principles while incorporating the Primary Curriculum and Fundamental Movement Skills. In it there is also example Homework Exercise that can be shown to Children during school time and kind carried out in the home environment to ensure that Children are getting the required Health & Well Being Benefits of the Resources.

Leinster GAA’s Learning & Development Manager Colm Clear outlined the hopes for the project “This has been an extremely difficult time for everyone, but in particular teachers. If these packs can go a small way towards helping them deliver a successful exercise programme within schools it will have been worthwhile.”

The packs themselves have been developed by staff from across the Province. In using a cross collaboration approach it is hoped that a broad variety of activities can be provided. On this Colm added “A big thanks must go to the coaches who worked on developing these Resources, in particular those from Offaly, Kildare and Laois. By using a broad spectrum of people we are confident that the activities within these packs are adaptable to almost every school environment, big and small.”
