Private and International Preparatory Schools Sports Association(PIPSSA) will host a pivotal workshop designed specifically for sports teachers, coaches and educators next month in Nairobi
The event aims to up-skill sports professionals, particularly those involved in Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) and International School Systems.
The workshop is set to cover a range of critical topics including Institutional sports marketing & coaching, sports events management, and governance & ethics.
With sports increasingly becoming a focal point in holistic education, this workshop promises to be a game-changer in equipping educators, coaches and teachers with the tools necessary to implement thriving sports programs.
Course coordinator Mark Gaya emphasised the significance of the workshop for educators.
"This course is crucial not only for sports teachers but also for those involved in CBC and international curriculums. It's about offering them the knowledge and strategies they need to elevate sports education in schools and making it more impactful and engaging for students," he remarked.
The course facilitators include notable figures such as Anthony Muriithi, a seasoned swimming educator and trainer; and Glory Muthoni, a renowned sports lawyer among others.
Participants will be treated to expert-led sessions that will sharpen their skills in sports marketing, event management, and legal frameworks, all tailored for a school setting.
The event will also provide a unique networking opportunity, connecting educators from diverse institutions with a shared goal of fostering a strong sports culture in schools.
