| Description | (April 2009) The development and use of interpersonal skills are part of what make us human. In games and teams, as in other aspects of life, there are influences that at times create situations where our positive use of interpersonal skills may become variable! This unit of work has been reflected on, revised and tweaked every year and has developed into unit of work that the teachers and the students really enjoy. The student learning is significant in that the unit explicitly teaches interpersonal skills and group processes and provides opportunities to practise these. Formative opportunities to provide feedback and feedforward are embedded in the unit. Students learn to lead, to follow, to give and receive feedback, to take responsibility for their own learning and behaviours. They make the links between values and what these really “look like” and overall develop as people. This unit has been considered a very good unit of work, and apart from all the learning, it serves to set expectations for the year and provides good links to school values and goals. (But….it still needs work in relation to NZC!) Author: Lorna Gillespie |
