Product description

From the author

Assess running, leaping, galloping, side-sliding, hopping, horizontal jumping and skipping with seven locomotor-skill rubrics. Each includes movement cues, separate student and teacher score columns, comments and skill-specific total bands.

The 15-page PDF supplies color and black-and-white versions plus a one-page guide to organizing practice stations and a coaching area. Use the criteria to discuss one movement component and revisit it after practice.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recognize observable components of a locomotor skill.
  • Use a 0–4 scale to record a self-assessment.
  • Compare feedback across repeated practice of the same skill.

Teaching tips

  • Introduce the criteria for one skill before observing students.
  • Discuss a difference between the student’s rating and your observation.
  • Choose one component for feedback and revisit it after practice.

Skills covered

  • Locomotor technique assessment - teachers score named cues for seven skills, from "Front part of foot contacts ground" in running to "Controlled landing, keeping balance" in leaping.

  • Student self-assessment - each rubric carries a Student column alongside the Teacher column, and the level descriptors are written in the first person: "I can perform this component without making significant errors."

  • Progress banding - totals convert to bronze, copper, silver, gold or platinum on a scale calibrated to the number of cues in that skill.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How can students use the self-assessment column?

Introduce the criteria for one skill, let students practice, then have them record their own ratings. Compare the student and teacher columns to choose a specific component to work on next.

Can I compare totals across different skills?

The rubrics have different numbers of components and different total-score bands. Compare a student’s progress within the same skill instead of treating different skill totals as equivalent.
