I haven't made a post in here in a while but I have just found some incredible new things that I will be bringing into my Physical Education classes this year. In the past I have found it difficult to accurately assess students in my class aside from getting them to perform skills in closed and open situations. I use prior knowledge from what I have learned through teaching and reading about students of each age group. I have recently found the PLAY (Physical Literacy Assessment for Youth) Resources done by Canada's Sport for Life Society. The PLAY Assessments clearly define each fundamental movement skill as well as some fundamental sport skills into four categories (Initial, Emerging, Competent, and Proficient). This is really useful for myself to properly assess students in Physical Education. Parents can also use the PLAYparent Assessment to assess their children at home and see what they can do in order to help them progress and become more physically literate which in turn will allow them the opportunity to be active for life and contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Students can also use the PLAYself resource in order to allow them to tell parents, teachers, and coaches a little about how they view themselves in regards to physical activity. I will be using the PLAYfun and PLAYbasic resources in my class, as well as getting the students to fill out the PLAYself resources in order to guide my teaching into a more productive learning environment.
