Description of activity
This is an individual activity that requires students to develop a Support Network Card that:
- identifies a range of possible situations that may arise where help is needed
- identifies the appropriate support personnel in relation to each situation
- identifies where/how this support can be accessed
- describes the barriers that may prevent students from accessing appropriate support.
Context
This introductory unit of work uses initiative games and physical activities to promote positive social interaction among students and also develop skills in teamwork and problem solving. Previously in the unit students have identified some of the challenges associated with starting high school and through the use of a school map, or similar stimulus material, found places and people within the school that can provide them with help and advice where necessary.
Areas for Assessment
Outcomes
A student:
4.2 identifies and selects strategies that enhance their ability to cope and feel supported.
4.16 clarifies the source and nature of problems and draws on personal skills and support networks to resolve them.
Criteria for assessing learning
(These criteria would normally be communicated to students with the activity.)
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
- clearly and accurately complete the Support Network Card
- show an understanding of the range of barriers and reasons that may prevent students accessing this support.
