Inquiry in Physical Education: G5 Volleyball - Creating a Checklist (a slide show)

I created this slide show to help share with my peers some of the things I was doing with my Grade 5's. The slide show is centered around two lessons (extracts from both lessons can be found in the movie links).

In one of the movies I do refer to the checklists as rubrics, they are not rubrics they are just a simple checklist of the skills broken down by the G5's.

Coaching: cross cultural sport psychology, in particular the different cultural approaches to the motivational climate and coach-athlete relationships in youth sports.

David Noon (davidnoon.wordpress.com) is a Research Fellow at Nagoya University in Japan. He is currently studying cross cultural sport psychology, in particular the different cultural approaches to the motivational climate and coach-athlete relationships in youth sports. 

He asked me if I could collect evidence from the coaches I work with in Indonesia.

Below are a number of brief, off the cuff interviews with a variety of coaches answering five questions:

What is coaching?
Why do you do it?
What are some of the most challenging aspects of the role?
What are some of the most rewarding aspects of the role?
What makes an effective coach?

Volleyball Formative Assessment for Grades 3

Grade 3: Volleyball
Peer Formative Assessment

During the course of the unit the students have had the opportunity to discuss and construct a check list to help them practise and improve their skills (I then turned this into an easy to use checklist - see below). During the last couple of lessons the students have been working in 3s (a performer, a feeder, and an assessor). After ten or so goes at a particular skill the performer joins the assessor to receive timely feedback on the skill, and have the opportunity to practise areas that require development.

Great memories of my time in Dhaka at ISD.
Time flies as most of the students have now graduated and have moved onto university.
