Physical Literacy Checklist: Planning

The planning criterion reflects a teachers’ preparation for student learning. For example, prior to instruction, effective teachers perform such important functions as articulating clear and appropriate learning objectives for their students, including content and activities that are progressively and developmentally appropriate, and utilize a variety of teaching methods and assessment tools that minimize the harmful effects of public comparisons.

Questions to ask yourself (as the teacher/coach):

• Am I using a variety of appropriate teaching methods?
• Am I implementing suitable progressions?
• Am I applying relevant concepts to the lesson content?
• Am I connecting learning to the past, present and future?
• Am I being developmentally appropriate and minimizing public comparisons?
• Am I articulating clear and appropriate learning objectives?
