Phys Ed 11/12
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The emphasis of these courses is based on the teaching games for understanding (TGFU) model and specifically deals with tactical and strategic game play. Students will participate in a variety of game situations and be able to identify and demonstrate specific offensive and defensive strategies and team tactics. Students will also investigate potential careers related to sport and the fitness industry, and advance their leadership development utilizing life skills achieved through sport. Physical Education 11 and 12 supports critical thinking skills as students investigate fitness, careers, sport/team strategies, refereeing, coaching, and social sport issues.
Module 1: Tactical and Strategic Game Play (TSGP)
Modified sports games are taught within four categories: invasion/territory, target, net/wall, and striking/fielding. The emphasis is on the tactics and strategies used during game play, whereby students make appropriate decisions in game/sport settings.
Module 2: Life Skills Through Sport
This module provides opportunities for students to experience success within the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains, while providing time for students to be physically active at moderate to vigorous intensities through sport experiences.
Module 3: Sport in Society
The first intent to this module is to bring awareness to social injustices among Canadians related to sport. The second intent if for students to identify possibilities (ie, through careers or volunteer experiences) for offsetting some of these injustices.
ASSESSMENT:
During each term, students will be assessed on their knowledge and understanding of the curriculum outcomes through both formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments allow for feedback to be given to help students improve their understanding or practice a topic more. There will be multiple opportunities for assessment on outcomes. Assessments may take the form of: conversations, observations, exit slips, journals, models, projects, demonstrations, presentations, and tests.
Students will be marked on outcomes using achievement levels:
