How to Integrate Sport into Curricular Activities
School Director
10. Make regular surveys on the set and achieved goals with regard to implementation of sports in the school curriculum
This evaluation is designed to assess your school before the initiative of integration of sports in the schools curricula has been implemented and after that. The best time to complete this evaluation is during the beginning stages of planning, forming the PE curriculum and sports activities and developing the school’s action plan. The evaluation at the beggining will give the school administration a good idea of where the school is regarding physical activity and the areas that need to be focused on the most. This evaluation can be a part of a broader needs analysis where the students’s, teachers’ and staff’s are taken into consideration when planning the interventions. Once the goals are set in correspondence to the needs assessed a consequent analysis of how the program works should be done. The school may decide on the regularity with which to make the evaluation but for sure such an evaluation at the end of the year after the start of the program might be very helpful to show the direction in which the school is moving, if there are problems to be addressed and changes to be made in the so designed PE program and additional sports activities.
Learning Objective
One of the learning objectives of this step is to provide school directors with awareness concerning the importance of assessment and evaluation of the school situation (mainly concerning PE skills and competences as well as available resources and facilities) as well as the effects from integration of sports in the curriculum in process and after it has been implemented. Another learning objective is to provide administrators with knowledge and skills on how they could organize the process of assessment and evaluation in order to have a clear view of status and needs, possible interventions, in-process developments and eventual needs for adaptations, and post-effects.
