Step Into Sport
Step ON - Sport EducationSport Education is a student-centred curriculum model, within which students learn to plan, manage and run their own sports ‘session' as part of their physical education programme. This is achieved by creating a student centred learning environment where the teachers role is one of facilitator, rather than director of activity and students adopt the role of coach, leader, official, administrator and manager as well as player/performer. By taking on these roles, pupils are given the opportunity to grow their leadership skills.
Step IN - Top LinkTOP Link focuses on how schools can utilise Key Stage 4 (14 - 16yrs) young leaders in school-based volunteering; giving the young people the chance to take the first step into Active Volunteering. The young people will be supported with information and knowledge on how they can engage in areas of school sport including inter-school competition, extending activities such as Multi-skill clubs and TOP Activity and of course how to plan, manage and deliver festivals of sport and dance.
Step UP - Community VolunteeringSince the onset of Step into Sport more than 16,000 young people have participated in Community Volunteering and given over 1,600,000 hours to community sport.This aspect of Step into Sport is based on the movement of young people from school-based volunteering to community-based volunteering through the provision of volunteer placements in high quality community clubs. Young people are supported by their school mentor and County Sports Partnerships to source a community placement in which they can volunteer. Young people take on a variety of roles from coaching and officiating through to web-design and administration.
Leadership AcademiesLeadership Academies provide localised support for young leaders within the School Sport Partnerships. Managed by the School Sport Partnership, a Leadership Academy may take on a variety of forms but the outcomes remain the same;
- Provide mentoring support to young leaders on a group and individual basis.
- Signpost young leaders on to appropriate qualifications and awards.
- Provide the opportunity for young leaders to learn from their peers.
- Support young leaders to source appropriate placements and volunteering experiences.
