Physical Education Teacher Academy brings together teacher educators, teachers, researchers, and partners across Europe and beyond to advance physical education and teacher education.
The initiative began with the PhysEd-Academy project (2022–2025) and continues through new collaborative projects, including EquiPETE (2026–2031). This website brings together research, educational resources, and project activities from across these projects, while providing a platform for ongoing work that builds on and extends their foundations.
The Physical Education Teacher Academy is grounded in a shared commitment to more equitable physical education for children and young people, and to strengthening initial teacher education and the ongoing professional learning of teachers and teacher educators.
The collaboration began with the Erasmus+ PhysEd-Academy project (2022–2025), which brought together international partners to explore and develop signature pedagogies in teacher education and innovative pedagogical approaches in physical education.
Building on this work, EquiPETE (2026–2031) advances research and pedagogical development focused on equity, diversity, and inclusion in physical education and teacher education.
Research findings and other outputs from international collaborations in physical education and teacher education are made openly available through this website.
Educational resources developed through international collaborations are made openly available through this website to support learning, teaching and professional development.
