Sport education curriculum model

Sport Education (Siedentop, 1994) is a curriculum and instructional model that is designed to provide students with more authentic sport experiences in physical education. The model replicates many of the positive aspects of youth sport with the unit structure having features such as seasons, persistent teams and affiliation, formal competition, record keeping, culminating events and festivity to achieve the authenticity of experience. Students can have equal opportunity to participate in every lesson with the progression from drills to modified games and finally competitions. In addition to playing roles, students work together and are assigned specific sport-related roles such as coaches, officials, equipment organizers and warm-up exercise leaders. Team success is dependent on the fulfillment of these specific role responsibilities as they progress through the sport season.
