Teacher of GCSE PE, A Level PE and BTEC Sport. I have been teaching PE for 9 years and regularly receive Outstanding lesson observations as part of performance management. Part of the reason for this are the differentiated and personalised resources that I use in my lessons.
I used this resource during a lesson observation recently and received an 'Outstanding' grade in all areas.
The lesson allows high levels of stretch and challenge for ALL pupils as well huge amounts of personalised and differentiated learning. These aren't just buzz words it really does cater for all!!!
I taught this to a high ability year 8 group with 23 in the class. I have used this successfully though with groups of up to 35 and lower ability groups. I will normally follow this lesson up with two more to give pupils the chance to further develop and refine their skills (lesson 2 will focus on pupil feedback/ back somersault and somersault in pike or half twist. Lesson 3 in developing sequence work and further pupil feedback.)
This resource includes the lesson plan (Word) that I used and also come with a 16 page PowerPoint document that includes the following:
Slide 1- Lesson objectives (I printed these out 4 times on A3 and put around the gym)
Slide 2- Gym mat tidy away picture (Made this to ensure that pupils know exactly how to put mats away in a tidy fashion. As your storage area will be different you probably won't be able to use this but hoped this would be 'food for thought'
Slide 3- Apparatus layout diagram (this can obviously be tweaked based on your available apparatus and gym layout)
Slide 4- Starter task mindmap/ what you know about rotation. (This allows you to understand what knowledge your pupils have at the start of the lesson. The words at the bottom are a prompt for pupils. This is then revisited at the end of the lesson to show you AND the pupils how much progress has been made in their understanding)
Slide 5- 12- Sheets for each area of apparatus that pupils can use independently. These include ways to make the movement/ skill easier or more difficult in order for pupils to access a suitable level of individual challenge. (In my lesson I started with area 1 as a warm up for all. Then opened up areas 2-5 after. Areas 6, 7 & 8 could only be accessed if the pupils showed enough control and consistency in all other areas.
Slide 13- 16- 'Mr Men' and 'Little Miss' themed non doer activities (I put these into visitor lanyards for them to wear)
If you are relatively inexperienced in gymnastics I would seek advice from other colleagues or video clips on Youtube about how to safely support pupils in a somersault (Don't be scared or put off by this, its much easier than you think! Only let beginners attempt a somersault when you feel confident to support them though)

These resources provide 3 -4 lessons worth of activities that cover all the content for the topic of groups and cohesion.
The resources are detail, challenging and pupil friendly.
Lesson 1- Tell me more resources- This covers cohesion (task and social), and group Dynamics. Each pupils is given one card. You get the group to get into pairs and they them teach the other person about the card. If the person would like to know more information they can say 'tell me more'. After 2 minutes the other person teaches their sheet. After two minutes they both swap their sheet (THIS IS VERY IMORTANT!!!)
They then move to another pupil and begin the process again.
This is a fantastic teaching and learning strategy as pupils revisit and reinforce content and understanding and therefore the ability to recall information.
I do this activity for around 25 minutes. I would then get them to complete the cohesion section on the mind map and then attempt the two past paper questions.
HMK would be to look over the other theories and content on the mind map in preparation for next lesson
Lesson 2 and 3-
Group Formation and Carron’s antecedents
Steiner's model of potential and actual productivity
Faulty group processes, strategies to overcome faulty processes.
Ringlemann effect and social loafing, strategies to overcome social loafing.
Tuckman's model of group formation
Starter and Plenary- Fill out slide 1 (I blow this up to A3). Pupils only write the answers that the definitely know. I get them to do this in a green pen and when I they revisit this they do it in a different colour pen so there is evidence of progress.
Slides 3- 13 then consist of a seies of different workshops that cover all the content for groups. This includes workshops such as building towers, play doh modelling, A-Z game, Tug of war investigation, and a Tarsia Puzzle. All these workshops are explained within the PowerPoint.
Slides 14-16- Past paper question and extended question with examiners commentary and past pupils answer. This can be set for hmk or can be the next lesson.
I get the group to highlight certain sections of the examiners commentary and then look for evidence of this in the pupil answer. They can also mark the answer using the mark scheme. This helps to reinforce knowledge as well as developing confidence of answer extended questions

This is pupil learning mat that allows students to scan a QR code which takes them to an instructional video on how to create an overview for a 6 week training programme. This lesson allows them to consider each part of the unit content in order to achieve P6.
This could be set as a class task or a homework take that the students then bring to the next lesson prepared to create a training programme booklet.
I find that pupils who really think about the unit content for themselves, tend to produce a really thorough and in depth training programme.
All key terms and theories from A Level PE- Sports Psychology on a PowerPoint that enables them to randomly show up.
This can be used as a revision or recap aid or starter activity in a number of different ways.

This resource give a complete guide to the three sections of the non examined assessed (NEA) element of GCSE PE coursework which is 10% of the course.
The guide can be used to inform teachers planning of the delivery of the coursework with this 24 page booklet which breaks down each component of the coursework into manageable steps. This includes all relevant paperwork needed for pupils to develop a level 5 piece of coursework.
The booklet contains:
Section 1- Planning
Front cover
Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ) template
Choosing a sport
How to complete a PARQ
Pre PEP Fitness tests
Pre PEP Performance related data (needed for lvl 5)
Aim of PEP
Methods of training
Session plan
6 week overview
Principles of training
SMART targets

Section 3-
-Organisation of data sheet
Post PEP fitness tests
Evaluation of aim
Evaluation of fitness SMART targets
Evaluation of performance SMART targets
Evaluation of data collected
Recommendations for future PEPS
This resource contains all the mind map for every topic in A Level PE (Psychology Unit).
The other resources can be used to develop confidence in answering extended questions using two different strategies (scaffolding and learning maps)
This is resource is an independent pupil learning mat with the objectives of developing pupils confidence to answer extended questions and reinforce knowledge of key terms and theories of groups and cohesion.
The resource is a independent worksheet that will require your students to have access to a QR code scanner. This then sends them to a video of the how to use the learning mat and instructions of what to do. There are also further QR codes to offer support when answering the extended question.
Before this lesson I had covered all the content of groups and cohesion. I then set a task of answering the extended question for homework and for the group to bring their completed answer with them to this lesson.
I blow the learning mat up to A3 in size.
Tast 1- Scan the QR code and watch the video on extended question technique
Task 2- Turn over the learning map and follow the instructions
Step 1 – your answer is stuck in the space below. Check that it is yours!
Step 2 – mark it using two different highlighters. One for each part of the question.
Step 3 – use the banded criteria and mark scheme to give your work a mark out of 14 and highlight it on the banded criteria.
Step 4 – get a new question template from the front table
Step 5 – answer the questions again completing all the steps you have seen today
Step 6 – mark it using two different highlight pens, one for each part of the question
Step 7 - use the banded criteria and mark scheme to give your work a mark out of 14. Highlight your new mark in a different coloured pen on the banded criteria table.
Is it better?
Step 8 – stick your new answer on your old one. Only put glue along the top though, so you can always flip it over and see how your answers are improving.
This resource would work excellently as a follow up lesson to the A Level PE- Psychology- Groups and Cohesion resource that I also for sale on myshop.
If you purchase this resource please leave a review and feedback to let me know how your lesson went. Best of luck
This resource contains over 100 short answer and 8 and 15 mark questions (including mark schemes), for A Level PE, from the current examination series for AQA PE.
