One for each week of a Term.
The Lessons are designed too be progressive from Lesson 1 onwards, but we understand teachers may not follow the sequence so it is not critical to conduct the lesson in sequence.

Will Lesson Plans and Activities change?
Arrow

Not during a school term.
We currently have over 800 Activities in our collection, and only approximately 100 are in the current SSME content.
While repetition is important, so is variety, so we will make subtle changes to the Lesson Plans between Terms as required.

We engage expert coaches in each sport to be part of our process of designing and creating suitable content.
State or National sports federations may be engaged, but they are not essential in the provision of a SSME module.

YouTube & Other Resources

Why cant teachers conduct lessons based on other resources they find?
Arrow

They can; but be sure to evaluate the activity for safety, inclusivity, fun, and how it fits into the Syllabus for your class Stage.
