Sports Education Mode

Monday October 7, 2024 10:20am - 11:10am MDT

Conference Room VII

The Sports Education Model (SEM) is a pedagogical framework designed to enhance the teaching and learning of physical education by mimicking the structure and experiences of authentic sports. Developed by Daryl Siedentop in the late 1980s, this model aims to provide students with a more engaging, enjoyable, and educational experience in PE classes. This is an old method but I hope to share my experience with it and some teaching ideas that I brought to it.

Session Objectives:

Learning target #1 Understanding the structure and components of the sports education model.
Learning target #2 Implementing the sports education model in Physical Education classes.
Learning target #3 Enhancing student engagement and learning through authentic experiences.

2)At the end of this session participants will be able to teach students how to use this formula to feel and behave better
