The competition gathers the experience of Latvia’s best sports teachers, thus raising the prestige of the teaching profession, as well as the positive attitude of most children and society at large towards physical activity, which is important for everyone throughout their lives.
The competition evaluation criteria require attention to various aspects of the sports educator’s activities, such as transfer of own experience, organised extracurricular activities, professional development activities, participation in methodological associations, participation in projects promoting physical activity in school, city/district or national level, etc.
