Aiming for good and outstanding teaching in PE
What are the key components of an outstanding PE
lesson? How can schools improve the quality,
consistency and impact of their Physical
Education lessons? What support is available to
improve the quality of PE in your school? The
most important purpose of teaching is to raise
pupils achievement. Inspectors consider the
planning and implementation of learning
activities across the whole of the schools
curriculum, together with teachers marking,
assessment and feedback to pupils.Ofsted

• The new primary PE curriculum
• Purpose of study
• A high-quality physical education curriculum
  inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in
  competitive sport and other physically-demanding
  activities. It should provide opportunities for
  pupils to become physically confident in a way
  which supports their health and fitness.
  Opportunities to compete in sport and other
  activities build character and help to embed
  values such as fairness and respect.

• Why observe teaching?
• Observations include the behaviour of the
  students and how well they are managed, subject
  knowledge, the standard of work completed in
  books, the quality of marking
• Ofsted does not favour any particular teaching
  style
• Inspectors are not simply observing the features
  of the
• lesson but they are gathering evidence
  about a
• range of issues through observation in a
  lesson.

• What is Good teaching?
• Most pupils and groups of pupils make good
  progress and achieve well over time.
• Teachers have high expectations. They plan and
  teach lessons that deepen pupils knowledge and
  understanding and enable them to develop a range
  of skills across the curriculum.
• Teachers listen to, carefully observe and
  skilfully question pupils during lessons in order
  to reshape tasks and explanations to improve
  learning.
• Teachers and other adults create a positive
  climate for learning in their lessons and pupils
  are interested and engaged.
• Teachers assess pupils learning and progress
  regularly and accurately at all key stages. They
  ensure that pupils know how well they have done
  and what they need to do to improve.
• Effective teaching strategies, and appropriately
  targeted support and intervention are matched
  well to most pupils individual needs, including
  those most and least able, so that pupils learn
  well in lessons.

• What is Good PE teaching?
• Pupils of all abilities are fully included and
  challenged to achieve their best because learning
  is planned on the basis of what pupils already
  know, understand and can do.
• Teachers and coaches show a detailed
  understanding of PE and sport and communicate
  this effectively.
• Specialist coaches and volunteers are deployed
  effectively by teachers to provide high-quality
  sports coaching and advice on how to improve
  performance.
• Relationships are good and expectations are high.
  Pupils improve their fitness and health as a
  result of good teaching. Time in lessons is used
  effectively to engage all pupils in vigorous,
  physical activity for sustained periods of time
  and to promote their physical fitness.
• Pupils learning, progress and enjoyment of PE
  are effectively enhanced through the use of a
  range of PE equipment and video technology.
• Teachers and coaches assess how well individual
  pupils
• are progressing and identify those who need
  further
• challenge or additional support.

There neednt be a PE observation template-
Good teaching is good teaching regardless of the
context!

• I was speaking to a colleague today, one of Her
  Majestys Inspectors. He reminded me it is all
  about outcomes and that it does work both ways.
  In a classroom he was in recently, a teacher
  produced, literally, an all-singing, all-dancing
  lesson. There was music, comedy, costumes, games,
  thinking hats, and all with clear objectives on
  the whiteboard. He recorded a teaching quality
  grade of inadequate. Not because of the
  performance on the day but because students
  graffiti-strewn books hadnt been marked for six
  months and work was shoddy or incomplete. In
  contrast, he graded teaching as outstanding in a
  classroom where students sat reading in silence
  because of the exceptional quality of students
  work and the teachers marking in exercise
  books.

  Schools (Feb 2014)

• Task
• How do the good teaching expectations differ
  from your current practice?
• What would move a good lesson to outstanding?

Aiming for good and outstanding teaching in PE

• What is Outstanding PE teaching?
• Pupils secure outstanding progress because
  teachers and coaches are organised and
  well-planned. They use their extensive subject
  knowledge and expertise to show pupils the
  step-by-step stages of learning new skills, and
  how to apply skills in different activities and
  situations. They question pupils to check their
  understanding and provide expert advice on how to
  attain exceptionally high levels of performance.
• Expectations of all pupils are consistently high.
  Pupils are challenged to work their hardest, even
  when they begin to tire and are encouraged to
  find their own ways of improving their
  performance.
• The pace of learning is rapid. Time in lessons is
  maximised to engage all pupils in vigorous,
  physical activity. Pupils are physically active
  for sustained periods of time.
• A wide range of equipment and resources,
  including computers and video technology, is used
  to enable pupils to enhance their learning and
  performance.
• Pupils progress is systematically checked
  throughout all key stages. Assessment data is
  used by teachers and coaches to plan further
  challenges for more able pupils and provide
  additional support for the less able.

• Coaches teaching PE lessons are judged under the
  same criteria as a class teacher
• Where coaches are leading curriculum PE they must
  have an understanding of how children are making
  progress, what the learning intention for each
  lesson is and all lessons must be differentiated
  and fully inclusive.
• NEW Coaches covering PPA is seen as bad practice
