4. The exchange of knowledge and experiences with other trainers and PE teachers
Step 4 highlights the role played by the exchange of knowledge and experiences with other trainers and PE teachers in a PE teacher’s personal and professional development. PE teachers will learn about several ways the PE teachers exchange knowledge and experiences with other trainers and PE teachers locally, nationally and even internationally such as:
• European projects.
