Toolkits launch
30th April @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
The Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences is pleased to invite you to attend the launch of two innovative Social Justice Pedagogy toolkits for Teacher Educators and Preservice Teachers. One of them being an outcome from one SATLE project.
Date: Wednesday, April 30 12h30 – 13h15
Venue: P1007 (PESS Building, University of Limerick)
The toolkits have been designed as resources to support teacher educators, teachers in post-primary schools and preservice teachers willing to embrace social justice pedagogies. Testimonials, case studies, visual prompts, and related activities are some of the elements that the toolkits include, to address social justice matters such as genderism, sexism, ableism and classism, as they relate to physical education and the wider context.
The projects were funded by Research Ireland through the New Foundations scheme (Justice Ed) and funded by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and the Higher Education Authority (SATLE). The Co-PIs of the SATLE project are Dr Carmen Barquero-Ruiz and Dr Antonio Calderón. The Co-PIs of the Justice Ed project are Prof Elaine Murtagh and Dr Antonio Calderón. The Justice Ed toolkit was designed by members of the Sport Pedagogy Research group in collaboration with researchers and pre-services teachers from Ulster University, Deakin University, University of Melbourne, Kent State University and the Development Studies Association of Ireland.
