WHAT IS GOAT DEPARTMENT?
Sport is different, and that’s why we love it. But for so long, teaching and learning in sport has felt the same. We founded GOAT Department to change that.
GOAT Department is here for all the educators who want to get better at teaching sport. GOAT Department isn’t just a run-of-the-mill professional development initiative. We’re a space to spark conversations, share resources, and learn from each other.
And hopefully one day, one of your students will call you a GOAT (Greatest of All Time).
...HOW DO WE DO THAT?
A lot is going on at GOAT Department. We have a:
-
monthly newsletter, the GOAT Gazette, with insights, perspectives, and a lot of colour. Subscribe here.
-
page of resources we’re building to get you started on your GOAT journey. Check them out here.
- monthly GOAT Chat on Zoom where we’ll cover a topic of the month. Find out more here.
-
blog, where we’ll share in-depth ideas for your classroom. Check out our thoughts here.
