18 GET STARTED – ACTIVE SCHOOLS Students with special abilities The gifted and talented represent a wide range of students with many different abilities. Some may have exceptional abilities in science or technology, some in art or poetry, and others in social leadership. It is now accepted that the gifted and talented are not simply those with high intelligence. The range of special abilities that relate to the concept of giftedness and talent has become quite broad. It now includes: > general intellectual abilities > academic aptitude > creative abilities > leadership ability > physical abilities > visual and performing arts abilities. 1 “Students who have exceptional ability in health education and physical education, along with students who have a temporary or permanent disability (whether sensory, physical social or intellectual), require programmes that extend them, challenge them, and broaden their abilities. These groups of students need programmes adapted and organised to provide access to relevant opportunities, meet their individual needs, and contribute to the development of their awareness of their personal identity and their sense of self-worth.” – Health and Physical Education in the New Zealand Curriculum Being a role model Your activity levels and attitudes can influence your students’ activity patterns. They need guidance on ways to incorporate physical activity into their lives. Be a positive role model and embrace physical activity and participate whenever you can. You could lead or participate in a lunchtime activity, or referee a school netball game. See Get Ready for ideas on ways to become a physically active role model. Demonstrating activities There are lots of benefits in demonstrating an activity to students: > You’ll show them the correct way to carry out an activity and they can clearly see what’s expected of them. > Students can focus on achieving one step at a time if the activity is broken into smaller steps. > Students may experience more success as they achieve the smaller steps. > Students’ self-esteem can be enhanced if they are asked to model to the group or demonstrate teachable points. > You’ll increase your own physical activity! Some tips on demonstrating > Work out the aspects of the activity you need to demonstrate – you may not need to do all of them. > Break the activity into small steps and clearly explain each one. > Ensure students can see you clearly. > Get a student to demonstrate the activity if you are unable to yourself. > Choose specific students who are demonstrating teachable points of the activity to show others. > You many need to demonstrate an activity more than once, slowly at first. 1 Ministry of Education, Who are the gifted and talented?
