Knowing and understanding PE concepts is one thing, but we know that the experiential nature of the course means the key skill for students is being able to apply that knowledge to the real world tactical, ethical, and training scenarios, as well as within the now heavily weighted exam.
It's a skill that requires explicit modelling, both cognitively and physically, so students can visualise what the application of their learning looks like. No wonder why our PE teachers tell us it’s hard to fit in highly academic content with time for applied practicals.
We can help.
When it comes to IA2, if the big challenge is finding enough class time to teach Ethics concepts and model the investigation report: don’t stress, we’ve got your back with these resources. They’re made and presented by experienced teachers, bespoke to the QCE.
Level up students' retrieval and comprehension of cognitive verbs with these hands-on, engaging lessons
- “I have, who has” - to help students memorise verbs. The hands-on nature of this lesson fosters collaboration and engagement.
- “Sugarcoat your verbs” - to help students comprehend the nuances and differences between verbs. By making students apply verbs to lollies, it removes the complexities of content and activates their prior knowledge… of lollies!
