A PowerPoint presentation on the groups and teams topic within the sport psychology component of the new (2016) AS and A Level PE specifications, including Steiner's model, the Ringlemann Effect & Social Loafing. Notes and questions are also included in 'Notes View' as a guide to the sort of questions that might be worth asking when encouraging your students to think about certain concepts within the topic. A couple of slides also contain embedded videos illustrating the concept of 'faulty processes'. These include examples of poor co-ordination (when things go wrong) and examples of when teams work well together (when things go well).

Do your students know the key terms to each topic on their course? Can they explain what each key term means and how to use it accurately and appropriately? Here’s a set of 45 key terms on personality (PowerPoint and PDF) to aid teaching and learning. Either project them on your whiteboard for whole class activities, or print them and laminate them for use in a variety of different ways in small group, pair work and individual activities. A simple resource - but essential!

A dynamic presentation made on PowerPoint on Bandura's Observational Learning Theory. It provides the key concepts of the theory and is definitely not designed simply to be used as a front of class teaching resource to be copied off the board!! Whilst providing the key terminology and structure, this resource allows you to elaborate and develop the observational learning theory with your students as you go. I have successfully used this with my students as a guide; asking them to research the theory initially and then having them use this resource to explain the learning theory to themselves and others. Using iPads or tablets you can distribute this to your students via Showbie and upload it on Explain Everything (both apps available on the App Store and Google Play). Then your students can record their explanation of the theory. When they're done, they put their work back into Showbie for you to listen to. Simple and a really great way to check how well they have grasped this theory and for you to provide valuable feedback. There are also some scaffolded questions on this learning theory at the end of the presentation to assist students in their explanations. What are the four stages involved in this theory? Why is it important to get the learner’s attention? What makes a good demonstration? What key words could you use when describing the retention process? What is involved in the motor production stage? What is motivation? What can you as the coach do to promote learning?
