SHN5093 - Applying Professional Skills in Physical Education and School Sport

Objectives:

Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.

Content:

This module develops students’ employability skills by immersing them within the workplace. Initially the students will plan a teaching experience to be undertaken within three afternoons in a primary school setting. This allows us the opportunity to observe the students team-teaching within a mini ‘teaching-practice’ context. The second half of the module will include a more traditional placement in the workplace which is four weeks in duration. The two placements will allow the students the opportunity to build up a portfolio of teaching and coaching experiences.

Further details relating to assessment
The assessment has three components. The first will be a series of lesson / session plans which students will produce before going on placement in a school. The second will be a series of observations by a staff member which assess a students’ teaching or coaching abilities. This will take place within a primary school. The final assessment will reflect upon the school experience and the 20-day placement experience and will be a reflective report.
