Section A: Sport Coach Training
You are to undertake a sport coach training qualification. On completion of your sport coach training you
will be required to submit a completion certificate from your sport coach training experience (to be
included with section B). A free online provider of sport coaching fundamental courses is the Australian
Sports Commission. An example of where to complete a free sport coach training is here after completing
your registration:
https:
learning.ausport.gov.au/auth/login/?returnUrl=%2F Examples of the
suitable free online sports coaching training includes:
* Community Coaching General Principles
* High Performance Decision Making
* High Performance Goal Setting
* High Performance Motivation
* Introductory Level Officiating General Principles
* Child Protection
Although such courses are free, you are more than welcome to pursue other coaching training (as long as
the evidence is completed and submitted by Week 12).
Section B: 4 Lesson Plans
In this section, you will design four lesson plans to demonstrate your understanding of the cu
iculum,
the resources to support learning, and a range of planning, pedagogical and behavioural strategies that
you will use in your future teaching practice. Focus on the age level at which you would like to teach.
Design a series of four lessons that would be part of a larger unit of work, applying knowledge from the
learning materials in this unit and your coaching training. Choose an aspect of physical education
identified during the coaching experience and physical education topic areas (e.g. athletics, dance,
gymnastics, ball handling, games (including specific sports) and other fundamental motor skills.
College of Education 15 | P a g e
Ensure you cover the following in your lesson plans:
• Each of the four lessons much be detailed and link to each other in a logical sequence.
• All four lesson plans must be on one area or theme of the Physical Education program. Topic
areas can include athletics, dance, gymnastics, ball handling, games (including a specific
sport) and other fundamental motor skills.
• Each lesson should last for 60 minutes using the ‘1-page lesson plan template’ provided.
• The lessons must show appropriate knowledge and skills development over the four lessons.
• Details are included about behaviour management, the pedagogical strategies used, teaching
cues, and learning management (e.g. group organisation, equipment organization, transitions,
scaffolding, differentiation, engagement, safety considerations etc.).
• Each lesson has specific learning objectives and associated assessment so that you can check whether
students have learned what has been intended. Learning objectives need to be linked to the
appropriate year level content descriptors within the Movement and Physical Activity strand of the
Australian Cu
iculum.
• Resources and information provided need to be referenced according to APA style. Additional resources
(such as worksheets or assessment checklists) that are to be used in the lesson should be attached as
an Appendix, before the Reference list.
• Use the attached marking criteria before you submit to check that you have addressed the four criteria
equired for a successful assignment (Lesson planning; Pedagogical skills and content knowledge;
Assessment of learning outcomes; Academic writing skills and presentation).
