What you’ll learn
I can explain the STEP principle and understand the need to adapt a task in a game situation.
Key learning points
- Move: when adapting the tasks, accurate throwing is always important in order to be successful in different conditions.
- Think: adapting a task correctly can ensure that everyone is appropriately challenged.
- Think: when leading a group, it is important to ensure that all members of the team understand what they have to do.
- Feel: when adapting tasks, it is important to listen to every team member's ideas and make sure everyone feels valued.
- Connect: evaluating each other's leadership efforts when adapting tasks shows effective communication.
Words to know
- teammates
- people who work together with a shared goal, supporting each other to succeed
- task
- a specific action or set of actions that a team must perform to achieve a goal
- adapt
- to change or adjust in response to new conditions or requirements.
Common mistakes
Pupils believe when adapting a task that everyone needs the same level of challenge.
Ensure pupils understand that everyone has different levels of skill, experience and confidence, therefore adapting a task should look to meet the needs of all the pupils engaging in it.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Allow sufficient time for pupils to discuss task adaptations and evaluate their success.
