1 EDU30014 Health and Physical Education Teaching Period 1, 2015 EDU30014 Health and Physical Education Assessment 1: Health and physical education folio – part A Word limit: 1500 words (+/- 10%) Weighting: 30% Due date: 9am AEDT Monday 30 November (Week 5) Assessment overview The purpose of this folio assessment is to produce a collection of information, resources and reflections from Module A (weeks 2-4) which will help you develop your skills in teaching health and physical education. This assessment constitutes the first part of your assessment folio; Assessment 2 (Part B) will cover Module B material (weeks 5-7). By gathering information into a folio, you are demonstrating an ability to identify, evaluate and transmit ideas about effective principles, policies and practices for developing health and physical education within a primary school setting. This assessment allows you to add a reflective dialogue and track your reasons for including specific evidence. Your folio should not just be a collection of resources. If academic underpinning is not evident, then you will not pass this assessment. Utilise the expertise of your eLA to question whether the evidence you have chosen to include meets the assessment criteria. Assessment details Your folio will contain three separate items which will relate to each of the topic areas within Module A (as specified in the table below). Each item should be clearly labelled for marking purposes with the name and description, and must include: ? evidence of the resource, such as a photograph, document (e.g. MS Word) or URL (if from an external source) ? a descriptive rationale and reflection on the resource. This must include: 1. a brief description of the resource 2. an explanation of how it would be used in health and physical education, providing evidence of knowledge and understanding of pedagogy, tools, methods and resources. Consider different teaching strategies you may use, any links to practice you have, and reflections from placement experiences or discussion board communications. 3. an analysis of the benefits and limitations of the resource, linked to academic literature and curricula documentation (i.e. the Australian Curriculum), demonstrating evidence connecting academic literature to practice.

Your descriptive rationale must include an outline for a program or plan to develop the skill presented in the video. This plan must incorporate ability and inclusion concerns. 3 Rhythmic and expressive movement A resource you have found (e.g. piece of music, image, story, object) that can be used as a prompt for expressive movement. Your descriptive rationale must include an explanation of how you could apply a teaching style to underpin your use of this resource. This must incorporate one of the teaching styles covered in your eText (Meldrum & Peters, 2012) pp. 296-298. Each of your folio items must be fully referenced in APA style.
