Planning engaging and purposeful VCE Physical Education (PE) units requires more than aligning content to activities, it demands deliberate, evidence-based design that starts with the end in mind. This session explores how the Backward Design framework can be used to structure VCE PE curriculum planning that is rigorous, assessment-aligned, and focused on student growth.

Participants will unpack how to use VCAA’s VCE PE study design, performance descriptors, and assessment advice to inform clear learning outcomes, design robust SACs, and plan learning experiences that ensure students can demonstrate understanding at a high level. Drawing on applied examples from Units 1 - 4, this session offers a practical toolkit for designing or refining VCE PE units that balance theoretical content and applied learning.

Whether you're designing from scratch or refining existing plans, this workshop ensures strong alignment between outcomes, assessment tasks and learning experiences.
