What are the different roles of a Life Orientation teacher? How can new techniques and mindsets help you to fulfil these roles in an effective and balanced way? What is metacognition? How can you teach learners to benefit from metacognition in their lives, learning and work? Teaching Life Orientation aims to assist student teachers to develop and build skills which will enable them to provide confident classroom instruction across the broad scope of the Life Orientation curriculum. A self-aware approach to teaching and learning is modelled through the three characters of the Brain Buddy: Mentor, Companion and Coach. Teaching Life Orientation is interactive and focusses on the practical application of the CAPS curriculum for the Senior and FET Phases. This book is suitable for in-service teachers studying for an Advanced Certificate in Education (ACE) or an Advanced Diploma in Education (ADE) as well as a B.Ed qualification.

This valuable resource provides support for teachers who may not be Physical Education teachers by illustrating simple exercises that can be easily done by an inexperienced teacher while ensuring that they are also scientifically based, safe, purposeful and cover all three domains of Physical Education (affective, cognitive and psychomotor). Teaching Physical Education and Sports Coaching also provides a basic introduction to sports coaching. The book covers basic content on anatomy and physiology, training theory and the teaching of skills, psychological aspects of coaching, drugs and nutrition in sport, sport injuries and first aid; as well as inclusive physical education and ethical behaviour in Physical Education and sports coaching. The book focuses on the South African context by being cognizant of cultural, geographical and sport diversity, giving due prominence to community or indigenous games and providing guidance on working in schools that are highly resourced as well as low-resourced schools. Guidance is also provided for engaging with CAPS subtopics, such as fitness, adventure sports, traditional games, traditional sport, and age-related activities as part of early specialisation.
