Year 9 Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Mentor: Stephanie Jolly

Curriculum area: Health and Physical Education
This class consists of 22 students: 7 boys and 15 girls. In general, this group is engaged and
willing to participate in theory based classroom activities and discussion. Having agency
over the topics that are being covered and choice within activities are highly motivating for
this group particularly with practical units (sport). 10 students have OnePlans in the class
with five students requiring a modified curriculum and/or assessment.

L – Has ASD and visual impairment. Works with an SSO 1:1. Responds well to positive
reinforcement. Attendance will be sporadic due to a serious knee injury. GOM. Modified
curriculum, modified assessment (no grades).

J - Has low literacy. She is a hard worker but will not ask for help, therefore, requires
constant check-ins to make sure she is on track. Fewer questions (for instance 1 or 2 if the
class is doing 4 or 5). What has been successful in the past is using visuals, both for
teaching concepts and for J to show her understanding. This student will receive a modified
A – E grade on the three Shine tasks, but marked same as peers for practical activities.
