PE teachers and music teachers too! Also in these scenarios, there is no end point. The top basketball player in the world practices these skills regularly, they do not learn how to shoot a free throw, make one, and then never practice again. There is always a way to get better. This is all the crux of my "every assessment is/should be formative" stance....what difference does it make what a student can know or do if we are not using that to help them move forward. Thanks for this actionable and common sense post.
Really great post Jack, with lots of actionable ideas. I particularly love your Canva visual. I am a huge fan of a success criteria chart to empower the pupils - a bit like a paint by number. Have you ever used Widgit? I find adding a symbol to dual code also helps with the inclusivity of understanding the skill. Website here if useful: https://widgitonline.com/en/home

As a PE teacher, I'd like to say thank you for the recognition of the craft ☺️
Excellent advice here, and I would emphasise modelling as an essential strategy.
