OK, so you've taught the theory (the content knowledge), but what about your students' essay writing skills? Your students will have to write extended answers in their exams, but do they know 'what a good one looks like'? Do they know how to construct high quality pieces of written work which fully answers the questions asked and gives appropriate examples from sport when requested. This resource on attribution theory provides extended essay model answers to questions on Weiner's model of attribution theory and the concept of attribution retraining as well as learned helplessness and mastery orientation. The exam style questions area: Using practical examples explain the meaning of learned helplessness and mastery orientation. Explain how a hockey coach could promote mastery orientation in her players? (10 marks) Using practical examples from tennis explain Weiner’s model of attribution theory. (8 marks) They are a perfect reference to give to your students as model answers after they have attempted the questions themselves. By working through the model answers with your students and analysing the features of the model that make it a strong response, (or how it could be improved still further!), they will be able to build up a greater appreciation of 'what a good one looks like' and what they have to do in order to produce high quality pieces of writing themselves. Simply download this resource, select the blue boxes and delete them to reveal the full model answer responses which you can distribute to your students.

As HoD or teacher i/c A level PE you can now be more confident than ever that every aspect of the whole two year specification is covered. This excel spreadsheet allows you and your colleagues to quickly and easily indicate when a topic has been covered. It also allows you to track which pupils have mastered a topic, which still need more work and those who are way off the pace and require serious intervention. Here's how to use this OCR A Level PE curriculum tracking document: Store the tracking document in a shared folder so all A level PE teachers can access it. When a topic has been covered, teachers simply put a 'Yes' in the column against the corresponding topic, automatically turning the cell from red to green. This is an ideal tool for small and large departments, especially those with more than one teacher teaching the same component to different classes. You may wish to track your students' progress as well. Against the students' names, enter a 1 if their knowledge and understanding is limited and they are in need of considerable intervention, (the corresponding cell will turn red), enter a 2 if they have a reasonable understanding but still need to work on the topic (the cell will turn orange) or enter a 3 if the student has mastered the topic. Ideally, by the end of the course, all the cells should be green!

What a great way to introduce attribution theory! Instead of starting this topic with direct input from yourself as the teacher, why not get your students grappling with this engaging activity designed to help them really get to grips with understanding Weiner's model of attribution theory? Here's how it works: Students have a brief introduction to the concept of attribution theory. They then read the captain's match report and have to decide for themselves whether each of the underlined sentences or phrases (attributions) fall into one of the four categories: ability, effort, task difficulty or luck. Then open the activity up for discussion amongst your students to see where they have placed each of the attributions and to check understanding and misconceptions. Because students are working out the solutions themselves and with one another richer learning and deeper understanding takes place.
