There are elements of the scheme of learning that go beyond the national curriculum expectations (gymnastics) and this can be quite challenging for staff to deliver. The scheme on the whole is well structured and easy to follow with clear step by step instructions for staff as well as guidance on how to support and challenge pupils learning. The key questions give staff guidance on how to deepen children's thinking and the opportunity to apply new skills in each lesson shows that children are embedding their learning.
Sarah Tyson found Striver:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“Gives ideas for how to deliver skills and allows the teacher to adapt the learning to meet the needs of the children. It provides resources and ideas to support and challenge”
- Slightly provides school data“We haven't implemented the assessment part of the scheme yet”
- Moderately improves teacher knowledge“We introduced this to support non-specialist teachers to deliver high quality lessons and use activities appropriate to deliver specific skills”
- Moderately improves behaviour or wellbeing“The lessons are engaging and well structured so children are focused for larger parts of thier learning. There are opportunities to challenge and support learning within each skill and opportunities to apply what they have learnt which leads to better learning behaviours.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“Children are more aware of thier prior learning and how the skills are put together to build into game situations. The children use and share vocabulary appropriate to thier learning and are able to support each other to improve”
