Sample 4: Grade 12Personal and Social Responsibility (Personal Behaviours and Safety Practices)
It is expected that students will:
- consistently model fair play and etiquette in a variety of roles, including:
- performer
- coach
- official
- observer
Overview
Students took part in a unit on golf, in which they focussed on etiquette, safety, and movement skills. Evaluation was based on students' golf skills and etiquette.
Planning for Assessment and Evaluation
- After watching various demonstrations, students practised driving, putting, and iron play. Each student worked with a practice partner. They received feedback from the teacher and from their partners.
- The teacher showed a video outlining golf rules, etiquette, and safety concerns. Students discussed the video, then gave impromptu demonstrations of appropriate and inappropriate behaviours.
- To conclude the unit, students played nine holes at a local pitch-and-putt golf course.

The teacher outlined the following criteria at the beginning of the unit.

Assessing and Evaluating Student Performance
The teacher developed a rating scale for peer and teacher assessment of stroke components and etiquette. Students used copies of the rating scale to evaluate their partners. The teacher used the same rating scale, adding a comment section, when observing students. Stroke components were assessed during practice and when students were playing. Etiquette skills were assessed when students were on the golf course.
