Structure of the curriculum Strands Sub-strands Content descriptions Elaborations Achievement standards Focus areas If you understand the structure then you can implement ANY curriculum area Quick quiz – what are each of these elements of the curriculum referring to?

Achievement standards Elaborations in Health and Physical Education Strand Content descriptions Sub-strand Unpack the elaborations – go to website and navigate Achievement standards

Focus areas Twelve focus areas Provide the context through which to teach and assess Are not discrete topics. When designing teaching and learning programs, a teacher may draw on more than one focus area. For example a unit focusing on developing ‘staying healthy, safe and active’ may draw on the focus areas of Food and Nutrition, Health benefits of physical activity, mental health and wellbeing as well as Active play and minor games. Go to website – show what each focus area is etc

Time?? So where and how Does HPE fit? Physical Education Health No mandated time Mandated time for Sport and Physical Education in government schools Primary schools for years: F–3: 20–30 minutes of physical education a day. 4–6: three hours per week of physical education and sport with a minimum of 50% of that time for physical education. So where and how Does HPE fit?

Indicative Progress Indicative progress articulates what student progress looks like, using the achievement standards in the curriculum continuum. supports teachers to tie together what is being taught and the progress between achievement standards that has been described and demonstrated.

Assessment Students are assessed against the achievement standards Assessment task must allows students to demonstrate achievement of the standard based on how well they have learnt the content Students either achieve at a Level or are progressing toward the next Level

Increasing complexity Continuum of learning Increasing complexity Foundation Level Students recognise how they are growing and changing. Levels 1-2 Students describe changes that occur as they grow older. Levels 3-4 Students recognise strategies for managing change. Levels 5-6 Students investigate developmental changes and transitions.  The curriculum is set up to show a clear continuum of learning that increases in complexity Health and Physical Education Achievement Standards

Reporting Physical Education: report student achievement twice a year against the achievement standards. Health: reported whenever it is taught within the two year band of schooling, against the achievement standards. Health and Physical Education may be taught by more than one person. When more than one teacher teaches the same curriculum area to a student during the reporting period each teacher will make a judgment about where the student is located on the learning continuum. Assessment tasks will be linked to relevant parts of the achievement standards, enabling teachers to make informed and consistent judgments about the student’s levels of achievement. Student Reporting Requirements

Key messages Use the curriculum to develop teaching and learning programs Content descriptions and achievement standards should be read together when developing a teaching and learning program Explicitly teach Explicitly assess Articulate student progression
