Summative:

Option 1: Written Report

You will produce a written report that addresses an identified need from an employer or stakeholder within physical education or sports coaching. Your report should evaluate the background to the project, the methods you used, the outcomes you achieved, and their implications for practice. You must also include a personal reflection on the challenges you encountered, the impact of your work, and how the project has contributed to your personal and professional development.

Option 2: Recorded Presentation

You will produce a recorded presentation that addresses an identified need from an employer or stakeholder within physical education or sports coaching. Your presentation should evaluate the background to the project, the methods you used, the outcomes you achieved, and their implications for practice. You must also include a personal reflection on the challenges you encountered, the impact of your work, and how the project has contributed to your personal and professional development.

Option 3: Podcast(s)

You will produce a podcast (or short series of podcasts) that addresses an identified need from an employer or stakeholder within physical education or sports coaching. Your recording should evaluate the background to the project, the methods you used, the outcomes you achieved, and their implications for practice. You must also include a personal reflection on the challenges you encountered, the impact of your work, and how the project has contributed to your personal and professional development.

Formative Assessment:

Formative assessment will form a key aspect of preparing students for their summative assessment. All students will receive a formative assessment opportunity as part of the module.

This module develops your ability to plan, deliver, and communicate a collaborative project that responds to a live brief from an employer or stakeholder in physical education or sports coaching. Working in groups, you will design and deliver a project that addresses the identified need, presenting your proposal at an online event with employers, stakeholders, and staff to gain formative feedback. You will then submit an individual piece of work that evaluates the project, applying appropriate methods and techniques, reflecting on challenges and outcomes, and considering your own personal and professional development. The module covers project planning, stakeholder engagement, ethics, risk management, and resources, and offers flexibility in assessment format, allowing you to present your work as a written report, recorded presentation, or podcast.

This stakeholder-driven, immersive approach builds the personal and professional skills needed to manage complex projects and communicate their impact with confidence.

Work with your peers on a real-world project set by an employer or stakeholder and make a tangible impact in physical education or sports coaching. You’ll pitch your ideas at a live online event, collaborate to deliver the project, and then showcase your individual insights through a final piece of work in a format that suits you: a written report, recorded presentation, or podcast. Along the way, you’ll sharpen your skills in planning, teamwork, and communication, while building the kind of personal and professional development that employers are looking for.
