Program planning with VELS

Curriculum planning in Health and Physical Education needs to be part of total school planning.

Questions to consider:

Which faculties/classroom/specialist teachers have responsibility for student learning in domains such as Interpersonal Development, Personal Learning, Communication and Thinking Processes?

Is the domain of Information Communications Technology being treated a separate subject or is it being integrated through all domains?

ACHPER

The standards and learning focus statements

The standards are the basis for curriculum

planning

- essential learning

- assessment

- reporting

The learning focus statements suggest teaching

and learning activities

ACHPER

• Learning is continuous and connected.

• Sequence of learning builds on earlier work.

• The content and processes increase in

complexity and challenge for students.

• Students should be able to make

connections with earlier work.

Sequence of Learning

To educate students in a more holistic

way by purposefully teaching the

relationships and interactions between

different domains and applying to real

life situations.

Why link HPE to other domains?

Planning units of work - an option to consider

Backwards curriculum design

1. Decide on unit focus

2. What knowledge, skills and behaviours do you want your students to be able to demonstrate at the end of this unit, subject or program?

3. What elements of the standards will be addressed by this unit, subject or program?

4. Decide on evidence of learning

5. Plan assessment activities

6. Plan teaching and learning activities

enable students to progress towards the standards

cater for a range of learning styles

promote deep understanding of the concepts being taught

7. Plan for effective feedback

8. Plan to evaluate the unit

Domain Dimension Key Elements of Standards

Students:

Health & Physical

Education

Movement & Physical

Activity

Students refine basic and complex motor

skills and apply these skills in increasingly

complex games and activities.

Students effectively use strategic thinking

and work with more and less skilled peers to

improve game performance.

Interpersonal

Development

Working in Teams Students work effectively in different teams

and take on a variety of roles to complete

tasks of varying length and complexity.

Students provide feedback to others and

evaluate their own and the teams

performance.

Personal Learning Managing Personal

Learning

Students persist when experiencing difficulty

with learning tasks.

ACHPER

Assessment FOR learning

occurs when teachers use

inferences about student

progress to inform their

teaching.

Assessment AS learning

occurs when students reflect

on and monitor their progress

to inform their future learning

goals.

Assessment OF learning

occurs when teachers use

evidence of student learning to

make judgements on student

achievement against goals and

standards.

Types of assessment

WORKING FROM THE VICTORIAN ESSENTIAL LEARNING STANDARDS TO DEVELOP A UNIT OF WORK

Title: ____________________________________________________ Year Level: _________________ VELS Level:__________________

This unit makes a contribution to students achieving a range of VELS

(Teachers need to be aware that these standards should be reassessed in different contexts several times)
