The ECIS Physical Education Conference offers educators from International schools around the world the opportunity to participate and listen to a wide range of excellent speakers and presenters. They will be covering topics ranging from "Developmental Movement and Cognitive Learning for toddlers" to "Oztag" and "Kick boxing as an MYP topic"
Our keynote speaker this year will be Mark Herremans. Mark is a tri athlete and role model for all sports and non sports people alike. In 2001 he came 6th in his first ever Ironman in Hawaii and was rookie of the year. In 2002 he had a biking accident which paralyzed him from chest to toes… In 2006 he won the same ironman in the hand cycle division! His inspirational speeches will reach all participants and with his attitude and positive thinking, he is guaranteed to change your outlook on life.
Most sessions at the conference will be practical workshops, covering all teaching levels, as well as coaching.
This conference will also be a great opportunity to meet colleagues from all over the world, exchange ideas, brain storm or do some networking.
