Assessment title: Annotated Lesson Plan and Micro Teaching 

This assessment will be completed in pairs and has two components:

Part A: Annotated lesson plans (20%)

In your pairs you are to devise one detailed physical education lesson plan that reflects various evidence-based principles and practices of inclusive physical education. The lesson should cater for various groups of students such as Indigenous students, CALD students, specific religious groups, students with a disability, students from a low socio-economic background, disengaged girls, boys etc.). The lesson adaptations/modifications should be clearly and explicitly identified with annotations. In these adaptations you should explain how the adaptation/modification makes the lesson inclusive for a range of student groups including those listed above.

The focus (context of learning) of your lesson plan will be allocated in Week 1. The lesson plan should cover a 60-minute lesson.

Part B: Micro teaching (10%)

In pairs you will peer-teach an 18 minute main activity (not warm-up or conclusion) from the lesson plan you have submitted as well as present a  2 – 4 minute summary of the entire lesson plan explaining:

1. What specific pedagogical approaches, teaching/learning activities and management strategies you have employ in delivering the lesson plan, and how these cater towards diverse students;
2. What previous research and/or experiences has informed this lesson.

The purpose of the presentation is to equip your peers with a collection of practices and strategies that will cater to a variety of students’ interests, abilities and motivation that could be adapted and used in their own teaching. In selecting the lesson activity (from the lesson plan) you should choose the one that best demonstrates inclusive physical education. 

Assessment title: Video Resource and Reciprocal Sheet (20%)

This task invloves 2 parts:

Part A:
In small groups, students are required to create a video clip (7 – 8 minutes) addressing a skill and/or physical activity that would be taught in a 7 - 10 PDHPE lesson. Activities, progressions and games associated with the skills should be included to ensure that sufficient challenge and progression is evident. 

The skill and/or physical activity will be allocated in week 1.

The aim of the video is to produce a teaching aid that could be used by either your peers and/or year 7 - 10 students. The video is NOT for remote learning.  

Part B:
In the same groups, you need to develop a 2 sided (A4) reciprocal teaching sheet that would accompany and compliment the video. The sheet needs to be student friendly and should integrate either literacy or numeracy into the PE lesson/activities. 

IMPORTANT: Part A and B should be complimentary resources and should avoid repetition where possible. 

Assessment title: Reflection Log (50%)

Throughout this unit of study students will be given opportunities to experience a range of learning activities in games and sports, athletics and aquatics. Along with these practical experiences, students will examine research around effective and inclusive physical education. In weeks 4, 8 and 11 students will be given a series of stimulus questions that will encourage them to reflect on the practical experiences and the theoretical knowledge to broadly examine their understanding and beliefs about effective and inclusive physical education in contemporary schools. 

Each set of questions will have a specified percentage mark as follows:

Week 4 - 15% (c.750 words)

Week 8 - 15% (c.750 words) 

Week 11 - 20% (c.1000 words).

In writing their responses, students are encouraged to find their 'professional voice' to articulate their knowledge, understanding and philosophy around the teaching of effective physical education. This professional voice will be essential as students move towards seeking employment and starting their physical education career. 

As third years students will be given some choice as to submission dates for these tasks as follows:

Week 4 questions – can be submitted Thursday 31st March, 10 am

Week 8 questions – can be submitted Thursday 14th April, 10am 

Week 11 questions – MUST be submitted Monday 30th May, 10am

For those students who choose to not submit Week 4 and Week 8 questions in previous weeks, must submit all three sets of responses by Monday 30th May, 10am.
