ACP suggested life skills session plan structure

Can we split the 20-minute plan into two 10-minute plans based on the same life skill?

I would suggest providing simple details of the session and then highlighting how it develops the life skill (with reference to academic literature) in the commentary.
This may be more straightforward than using a session plan

Session plan commentary: what font and font size and double or single space lines?

Session plan commentary: what font and font size and double or single space lines?

# data[].attributes.body
In your 3 page commentary, you need to explain how your session develops the life skill, with reference to academic content relevant to the life skill (I would suggest for example, that, if choosing leadership, that you seek out a relevant textbook chapter on leadership, and learn about one aspect that you might develop others' understanding of). You also need to refer to literature on coaching life skills to discuss challenges coaches face in coaching life skills, and to refer to themes such as implicit vs explicit coaching of life skills, and how to ensure transfer outside of sport: these themes can be found in most articles on the topic.
You have 3 pages to do this.
I would thus recommend single spacing and a normal size font, to allow you sufficient words
There is no penalty for exceeding the stipulated 3 pages, nor will this assure better marks. A well-written, concise discussion showing good academic understanding is key!

The deadline for all work for the module is 20th March at 2.30 (this is the standard deadline time for submissions; also known as dentist time!)
Always go on the DUE date on dropboxes not the available until date!

Does this count towards CPD? Current employment this year counts: I recognised that many of you have to work to pay the bills and get some skills! See the list of possible CPD opportunities introduced at the start of the module

Should the plan relate to the life skill you have chosen for the commentary afterward?

Should the plan relate to the life skill you have chosen for the commentary afterward?

# data[].attributes.body
Most definitely yes! Your commentary should explain how your session develops the life skill identified. Introduce the life skill and how you would develop it in the session in the commentary, and also consider the challenges coaches face in implementing life skills/PYD(see related post)

do both the indoor and outdoor plans need to be 20 minutes and do they need to be different sports?

do both the indoor and outdoor plans need to be 20 minutes and do they need to be different sports? 

# data[].attributes.body
Just one 20 min activity will do. As we are not delivering them as it was seen as likely to be challenging in term 3, there is no need to have a separate indoor and outdoor plan

You can, but one of the criteria will involve how professional-like the resource uses. Consider yourself how professional your resource will look in comparison to published examples. You might decide that other software is more appropriate

The quality of your face to face presentation isn't directly assessed. In the criteria, your contribution to groupwork and contribution to the presentation are assessed. Attendance at the presentation event is thus part of the criteria. Unless you have a very particular reason for not attending the presentation date (TBC) attendance is thus mandatory.

Either 8 pages of a4 landscape, or 9 pages a4 portrait. this allows them to be printed on a4 paper and pinned up in order (with gaps in between as opposed to fitting together like a jigsaw). This also allows them to be printed in a brochure-like format. The intention is to present them and to circulate good examples to real world people in Nottingham and beyond!

For the session plan, is there a template you want us to follow for the actual plan? Or is it up to us to make it up ourselves?

# data[].attributes.body
in word, an outline of the session, followed by a commentary with academic references. you should identify your life skill and explain this and how your session develops it in the first part of the commentary. In the second part of the commentary draw upon the literature on coaching lifeskills/positive youth development, to discuss challenges in the implementation of positive youth development

Ask me instead!

On the now it says the assessment must be uploaded to the dropbox by the 5th of December. Is there an in-person assessment for this as well? If so, when would this be?

# data[].attributes.body
The deadline is to upload the poster content, and then the group presentation will be after this and before the end of term. I am currently sourcing a venue for the presentation and so once this is agreed, the date will be confirmed, I hope this helps!

The module is a 20 credit point module, and to give you an idea of the contribution of each section to the overall grade (see the criteria with a panda on!) credits are attached as follows.
