Developing a thematic game sense curriculum in PE

Session Description

In this classroom session you will be presented with an overview of game sense, how it fits within the primary and secondary PE curriculum and ideas for developing your curriculum using modern teaching approaches. We will break down traditional curriculum models and look at opportunities for change and to develop a more thematic approach. Links will be made to student learning outcomes and the F-10 Victorian curriculum. Worked game and unit examples will be included in the session. There will be plenty of opportunity for questions, discussion and reflection of your current practices.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will develop their understanding of: (1) a game sense approach to teaching games, (2) how game sense fits into a PE curriculum, and (3) developing thematic units of work for teaching games to deepen student learning and scaffolding across years. Participants will also reflect on their own practices and current curriculum.
