Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
This module will be taught through a series of lectures (LOs 1&2), tutorials (LOs 1&2), and field based practical's (LOs 2&3) which develop theory into practice. Coursework develops coaching theory
demonstrated with practical delivery of a coaching session (LOs 2&3). A coaching observation allows you to reflect on their own coaching abilities by assessing another’s ability relating this to coaching theory &
best practice (LOs 1&2).

Formative Assessment:
Participation, observation and analysis of the practical coaching classes by the peer group are used to enhance the learning experience. Feedback given to other students during this assessment is part of the formative assessment process and will help students prepare for the observation.

Summative Assessment:
A summative practical assessment of a coaching session will be undertaken from weeks 7 to 12. You will be required to produce a lesson plan and then evaluate your session delivery using supervisor and client feedback through a self-reflective process (60% weighting, LO 2 &3). You will undertake a critical and analytical assessment observation of an external, experienced coach. This process will allow you to compare different coaching methods and reflect on their techniques. A 2000 word report will be submitted
(40% weighting, LO 1& 2).
