Curriculum &
Instructional Model

Discussion Questions:
Describe the importance of having affiliation in
your Sport Education Model.
Why is it important for the students to learn
different roles other than just how to be a
player?
Explain the differences between a literate,
competent and enthusiastic sports person.
Name two objectives of the Sport Education
Model and why they are important.
Can the Sport Education Model be used for
activities other than sports?
What else is there to know about the
Sport Education Model?
Differences from youth, community and
interscholastic sport:
Participation requirements
How much time is required for each section of sport?
What does a practice/game schedule look like?
Developmentally appropriate involvement
Skill level?
Elite teams vs Recreation teams (ie. Travel teams)?
Diverse roles beyond that of a player
What roles are learned at a youth, community and
interscholastic level?
Other things to think about
Introducing the SE model for the 1
st
time -
Start with a highly popular sport/activity
to get the model rolling
Start with one class instead of all classes
to get a foot in the door
Responsible, mature, etc.
Instead of allowing students to focus on
what they lack, focus on each teams
unique abilities.
