Simple Guide Series

Simple Guide Series

Effective Self Review is crucial if we are to continue to raise standards in physical education,  so afPE has developed a series of 'Simple Guides' to support colleagues in the process of evaluating the quality of physical education in their schools. These are easy to follow and can be personalised to your school so that you can develop a bank of evidence to support your judgements which can be updated as required.

Please note, the guides are sent in PDF and Word format to enable you to revise/update as appropriate.


SG_1Number One - Simple Guide to Evaluating Teaching:

The quality of teaching, including assessment to support learning, is a crucial element of provision and this will have a marked effect on outcomes for pupils.  This guide gives you clear criteria against which you can make your judgements. For each judgement you make you are asked to provide clear evidence which can then be used for identifying strengths as well as areas for development. Because this is a word document you are able to review and revise your judgements and the evidence you collect.

Price: £4.99


SG_2Number Two - Simple Guide to Evaluating Leadership and Management:

Effective Leadership and Management should embed ambition and drive improvement, particularly in the management of teaching (see number one in the series).  Leadership and Management underpin the quality of physical education and if they are good or better you can be fairly sure provision such as the curriculum, care and guidance and teaching will be good or better. This guide gives you clear criteria against which to make your judgements and asks you to provide clear evidence to support your judgements. These can be used to identify strengths as well as areas for development and as it is a word document you are able to review and revise it as and when appropriate.

Price: £4.99


SG_3Number 3 - Simple Guide to Raising Standards in Physical Education:

The Ofsted Framework is currently under review but early signs are that self evaluation will continue to be expected. Good or outstanding physical education is only achieved through that continuing process of self review which not only identifies successes, which are to be celebrated, but also areas that need development.

The new framework is also very likely to give priority to the achievement of pupils and this simple guide (number 3 in the series) gives you clear criteria against which you can evaluate attainment and learning and progress. Using the information and evidence you have for these will then enable you to make a judgement about achievement of your pupils. As with the other guides, they come in PDF format with Word copies of the relevant tables to enable you to review and revise the document as appropriate.

Price: £4.99

Customer Reviews:

"These are brilliant resources. Nice and simple and very clear. More attractive too than the word docs I produce to get these messages across to the schools that I support as a PE consultant.

They are great to promote the work of afPE and I will be sharing them with schools and encouraging them to look at the web site and join afPE.

Look forward to collecting the whole series."
