Considerations and suggestions moving forwards:
Utilise pedagogy of teachers leading and therefore developing their knowledge of and confidence with the resource and their competence of how to use it.
Incorporation of health, fitness and wellbeing learning outcomes incorporated into other activities / games and activities.
Calendar approach or similar to map out where and how safety issues, exercise effects, health benefits or activity promotion can be incorporated into all physical session (and others) rather than them being more ad hoc.
Incorporation / links to SMILES and STEP from outset.
CD ROM is now difficult for many to use so resources need to be shared via different platform (it is apparent that this is possible due to the successful sharing of resources on the Sport Wales website during the COVID 19 lockdown). | |
