Game Sense is an approach to teaching games and sports that focuses on participation, enjoyment, and developing tactical skills rather than competition and winning. It encourages modifying rules and using small-sided games to maximize participation and skill development. The goal is to develop positive attitudes towards physical activity and teamwork. Game Sense has been shown to be an effective way to engage all students in physical education classes regardless of skill level.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. •Game Sense is used as an effective tool to
teach children how to play games through
motivation and encouraging them to try, not
focusing on just winning a game.
These games include invasion, striking/fielding,
net/court and target games (Pill, S. 2014).
•Sport can, and should, form a valuable part of
children's and young people's experiences of
growing up, fitting into society and becoming
responsible citizens (Light, R. 2013).

4. •To develop a positive attitude toward sport and to have it make a positive
contribution to their physical, social, moral and personal growth and
development (Light, R. 2013).
•Social and moral learning, making friends, the formation of identity and self-
esteem, the joy of movement, experiencing a sense of belonging and
achievement, and just having some fun (Light, R. 2013).
Pill, S. (2013) states that Game Sense is based on these examples,
• shaping play (by the reinforcement of cues, feedback, questions to get players
thinking about the game, and modification of game rules to emphasise the need
for technical development or tactical understanding) .
• Sampling (by using small sided games that maximise game participation and,
therefore, the potential for skill development. For example, futsal and soccer I
AFL 9's and football) .
• Complexity (through the progression of game forms to accommodate task
complexity for the level of the learner) .
• Representation (by developing modified games with similar tactical structure
to the 'full rules' game) .
• Exaggeration (modified games retain the primary rules of the 'full rules' game,
but secondary rules are adapted to exaggerate the need for a technique or
tactical solution).
Why use Game Sense ?
5. •As a teacher, I personally find that Game Sense is able to encourage all children
from all skill levels to participate in the physical classes.
•I remind students that their technique or skill level is not what is important, their
participation and motivation is key.
•Game Sense focuses on a team working together, whilst moving. This is important
to my classes.
With these important points along with Game Sense, PDH IS a fun, interactive and
educative subject.
SAFETY. FUN. MOVEMENT
6. •The NSW Syllabus for PDHPE strand, ‘Games and Sports’ aims to develop each
student’s competence and confidence in a broad range of games, sports and physical
activities. Students develop fundamental movement skills (FMS), progressing to more
games and sports-specific skills in non-competitive and competitive environments
that foster positive feelings of success and enjoyment.
This strand is linked to the concept of ‘Game Sense’ and is able to provide a positive
teaching approach along with strengthening the students motivation in participating in
PDH. All schools in NSW are obliged to follow the syllabus and this strand.
