How I Teach SOLO Taxonomy in Physed Class

Send us Fan MailHello PE Nation!Today I discuss how I implement SOLO Taxonomy in my PE class. This model offers a powerful framework for structuring learning progression in physical education, taking students from basic knowledge to creative application through five distinct stages. • SOLO stands for Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes• The five stages progress from pre-structural (knowing nothing) to extended abstract (creating something new)• Using Legos as an example: level 1 is not knowing what Legos are, level 5 is creating original designs without instructions• Similar progression with musical instruments: from holding a guitar to jamming and creating new songs• Modified approach using numbered magnets makes the system more kid-friendly• Implemented successfully with dance, hockey, soccer, football, and pickleball units• Students track their own progress and clearly understand what skills they need to advance• Higher-level students can help teach others and create new games or activitiesTake care,DaveLEGO videoSOLO hand signal videoSample SOLO PDF***New FREE Video Course!!!***Join my Substack newsletter, where I share PE tips, games and strategies.Beg, Borrow, Build and Steal ebook with links, Free game PDFs and my personal grant writing files: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Beg-Borrow-Build-and-Steal-Equipment-13063549Become a guest on the show: podcast signup formFREE E-Book on setting up your PE programMy website: https://www.supersizedphysed.comSupport the show-High Fives and Empowering Lives  book available as an ebook or paperback-Paperback or download: HERE-Amazon Ebook: HERE
