The Game Sense approach is a student-focused style of teaching physical education that uses modified games to engage students and teach movement and technical skills. It emphasizes active participation, enjoyment, and developing skills through game play rather than traditional instruction. Using Game Sense in 2G's PE lessons allows students to develop skills while having fun playing games like Kangaroo and Beat the Ball. The teacher notes that parents can contact them with any questions about the lessons or to participate.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Why study PDHPE?
Personal Development, Health and Physical
Education (PDHPE) develops the knowledge,
skills and attitudes students need to lead
healthy, active and fulfilling lives. Students
learn about the importance of good food
and regular exercise and develop positive
attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle (Board
of Studies NSW, 2015).
3. What is Game Sense?
The Game Sense Approach is divided into 4 categories.
Some examples of the games are shown in the table.
Game Sense is a student focused approach to teaching PE. Using modified games to teach
movement and technical skills, students are engaged and actively involved in their learning.
This table shows clearly the differences between a
traditional model of teaching PE and a Game Sense or
Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model. The
TGfU model offers a more comprehensive physical
education where students are participating in rich and
authentic game experiences to improve their skills, in
many aspects of the NSW PDHPE Syllabus.
4. Benefits of using a Game Sense Approach
The Game Sense Approach allows students to be more actively involved in their physical
education learning. This directly leads to higher levels of student engagement, participation,
enjoyment and motivation (Pill, 2016).
Australian Sports Commission, n.d. Bunker & Thorpe, 1982, as cited in Towns, 2002
This is a Teaching Games for
Understanding (TGfU) Model created
by Bunker and Thorpe. TGfU is
known as Game Sense in Australia.
This model clearly shows the learner
as the integral part of the process
and that game play, incorporating
skill execution and decision making
is essential in the Game Sense
approach.
5. How does this link to the NSW PDHPE Syllabus?
In Stage One, one of our outcomes is GSS1.8-
Performs fundamental movement skills with equipment
in minor games.
• Participates in a range of minor games and practices that
assist skill development.
By using the Game Sense approach, students are supported
and scaffolded by their teacher and peers. Students develop
their skills through game play to be able to confidently
participate in many different forms of games.
6. What does a PE lesson in 2G look like?
This is a lesson that our class
will be participating in this year.
As you can see, the game
Kangaroo incorporates lots of
movement, including
fundamental movement skills, is
fun and is an activity that is
achievable for all students in the
class.
7. What does a PE lesson in 2G look like continued..
Here is a video of a class
participating in a fun game of Beat
the Ball. This is a game that we may
implement toward the end of the
year in our PE class. You can see
how much the students are enjoying
the activity and are engaged,
constantly moving and are learning
important movement and technical
skills.
Australian Sports Commission, 2012
8. A final note
So Parents/ Guardians, if you have any further questions about the Game Sense
approach, about our PE lessons in general, or if you want to be involved in the
lessons, please do not hesitate to contact me.
2G’s PE lessons will be educational, beneficial, will teach students fundamental
movement skills and most importantly, be a whole lot of fun.
