What have I learned about the teaching and learning process when preparing this lesson?
This lesson plan focuses on preparing students for the assessment task that is distributed
towards the end of the lesson. Reflecting on Understanding by Design, I have strategically
learnt to structure my lesson to achieve the desired goals of the lesson. Starting the lesson
by Establishing the learning Intention of the lesson guides student direction of the lesson,
myself as a teacher can also reflect on the students’ knowledge through the warm up
activity to know where the students need to focus.
Other considerations
Complete the table blow by inserting the AISTL graduate standards that you are
demonstrating and indicates the evidence from this lesson that should comply with the
standard.
There are minimal risks in this lesson as the PDHPE class is indoors for the theory
lesson. However, during the group activity, students may be walking around the
classroom to join their groups. In this case students who are using laptops, iPads or
computers may be using charging cords that may appear to be a trip hazard. This
hazard can be removed by placing students who need to charge their electronic
devices closer to PowerPoints in the classroom

Reflection
What have I learned about the teaching and learning process when preparing this lesson?
I have learnt that reading through the marking criteria of the assessment is important to show
students how to improve their marks for future assessing. Going through the marking criteria
and explain the marks that were distributed may allow future learning for students. Also,
showing the students an educational video and creating a class discussion is a good strategy
for students to unwind and create a fresh topic, which may be engaging and support learning

What are the key risk issues that may appear for and need to be reduced/eliminated in this lesson?
Using your syllabus and support documents as well as other WHS policy- Outline the key WHS
considerations that are to be applied in this lesson?
This lesson is in a setting where there is minimal movement and the students do not
have to leave their seats, however accidents in the classroom may still occur.
Therefore, as a teacher, responsibility must be taken in supervising that students take
responsible care for the health and safety of themselves and other students
Justification
The lesson plan was designed for a stage 6 class on the topic area of ‘The Body in Motion’ in
the NSW PDHPE syllabus. In this topic area students develop an understanding on the
relationships between the anatomy of the body, biomechanics, fitness, physiology and human
movement. When developing the lesson plan, The Australian Profession Teaching Standards
(APTS) and the Quality Teaching Model were both considered to improve the quality of the
teaching strategies used throughout the lesson. The Understanding by Design (UbD)
framework was also used in the process of structuring the curriculum, assessment and the unit
outline. The Ubd framework is a useful tool as it focusing on assessing and teaching for
learning and understanding of the content as it is designed backwards in relation to those
needs (McTighe & Wiggins, 2008). According to McTighe and Williams (McTighe &
Wiggins, 2008), learning is enhanced when the teachers work strategically around curricular
planning. Together with the APTS, Quality Teaching Framework and the UbD framework,
there are a range of pedagogy and teaching strategies implemented into both the pre and post
lessons to produce skills such as higher- order thinking, critical thinking, collaborative
learning and critiquing skills needed for the unit outcomes.
The UbD framework is a useful tool in the process of designing the course, units and the
lesson plans. McTighe and Wiggins (2008), states that once the learning objectives of the unit
have been identified, then the assessment can be designed in order for teachers and students
to establish learning goals. Once the assessment was designed in the ‘Body in Motion’ unit,
both lesson plans were strategically designed to help students develop skills and an
understanding of the assessment and its outcomes. The concept map is an example of the
UbD framework as it allows the teacher to structure and organise the unit to form
relationships about how they relate and work together. Once the teacher has designed a
concept map, then the teacher may design the unit to suit the learning outcome of the
assessment. The UbD framework is also an example of Standard 3 of the APTS, Plan for and
implement effective teaching and learning.
The Blooms taxonomy model was also an important tool to construct the assessment and
marking criteria. The model was used to create higher- order thinking skills and to categorise
the levels of understanding in the marking criteria (Razzouk, 2011). When constructing the
marking criteria, the levels of Blooms Taxonomy were used to distinguish the level of marks
given in the assessment, as the higher- level words represented higher grades.
In both lesson plans, the teacher goes through the marking criteria to show how the Blooms
Taxonomy is used where to marks are distributed. The use of Blooms Taxonomy is also an
example of metalanguage which is a feature of the Intellectual Quality element in the Quality
Teaching Framework which is considered in developing the lesson plans.
Both lesson plans start with the teacher introducing the learning intentions of both lessons.
Each lesson plan has different learning intentions as one lesson, students receive the
assessment task and the other lesson includes the students receiving the marks from the
assessment task they have handed in. Setting learning objectives at the beginning of a lesson
helps guide the student’s direction of learning in the lesson (Pintrich & Schunk, 2002). This
also relevant to the Quality Learning Environment element of Student Direction within the
Quality Teaching Model.
After establishing the learning Intentions of the lesson, the pre-lesson plan starts with a warm
up activity using a mind map to activate the learning of the students. The main objective of
the mind map is to provide students with the opportunity to think critically and analyse the
types of aerobic and anaerobic training. Activities such as Mind maps and brainstorming
promote higher order thinking skills in the classroom such as problem solving, critical
thinking and collaborative learning (Richland & Simms, 2015). Higher Order Thinking is a
key feature of the Intellectual Quality element of the Quality Teaching framework.
In the APTS, 2.6 Know the content and how to teach it, states that it is important to develop
student’s abilities in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Following the
warm up activity, the pre-lesson plan introduces students to the web- based tool, Google
Slides. Google Slides is a presentation publisher that allows real time collaboration between
the person sharing the presentation and their audience.
The presentations are linked to users Google accounts which means the users of Google
Slides can access their presentation on any device from computers, laptops, iPads and mobile
phones, without having to carry around a flash drive (Google Slides, 2017). The Pre-lesson
plan’s incorporation of Google slides is used as a scaffold to prepare students for their
assessment as they must use Google Slides in their presentations.
The post lesson plan also incorporates ICT through an educational video on the content of
Fluid Mechanics, which is then used as a class discussion to brain storm the students
understanding of the topic. According to Mujumdar (2006), there are many benefits of
implementing ICT and web based tools as it significantly increases motivation, the learning
culture and engagement in educational contexts.
In the Pre- lesson plan, students are then grouped into numbers of three for the group activity
after familiarizing themselves with Google Slides. In the activity, students use resources such
as their textbook or the internet to design a fitness program suited to the vignette. In standard
3.3 of the APTS, it is suggested that teachers use teaching strategies to support colleagues
and apply effective teaching, which is implemented within the pre-lesson plan through the
group work activity. Students also benefit from groupwork as studies claim that the exchange
of ideas within social support and group work, not only increases the motivation of students
but also promotes critical thinking through collaborative learning (Veach & Gladding, 2006).
Social support such as collaborative learning is another key feature in the Quality Learning
Environment Element of the Quality Teaching Model Framework, which was also considered
in designing the lesson plan.
Finally, both lessons conclude with the teacher summarising the content, revisiting the
learning intentions of the lesson and clarifying any questions about the assessment task. It is
important to clarify any questions about the assessment task to provide future learning and
ensure that the students are able to progress from the feedback (Crichton & McDaid, 2015).
By providing feedback and revisiting the learning intentions, the lesson plan aims to cover
standard 5.2, Provide feedback to students on their learning, of the APTS. The quality
Teaching Element of significance is also touched on as students are able to make a
connection between the subject and learning areas through Knowledge Integration.
