Educational material
The Value of the Impactito Handbook: A distinctive strength of Golf Uno is its educational handbook – Impactito. This resource serves as a complete tool for teachers and stands out from other programs in the following ways: Detailed Session Plans and Exercise Bank: The Impactito handbook includes ready-made session plans and a comprehensive bank of exercises, making it easy to adapt lessons for different student groups and levels. This provides teachers with practical inspiration and reduces preparation time. Methodical Guidance and Flexible Resources: The handbook offers concrete methodological criteria and tips on how to align exercises with the Norwegian curriculum. It emphasizes playful learning, digital integration, and student participation – elements that promote a dynamic and inclusive teaching practice. Assessment and Formative Feedback: With a wide range of assessment tools, including student notebooks, questionnaires, and rubrics, Impactito ensures systematic and continuous evaluation of student development. This allows teachers to adjust their teaching on an ongoing basis and ensure that all students achieve the desired learning outcomes. Alignment with the Curriculum (LK20): The handbook is carefully aligned with the key competency goals in physical education and connects physical activity with important cross-curricular themes such as public health, democracy, and sustainable development. By using the Impactito handbook, teachers gain a tool that not only supports structured and goal-oriented teaching but also inspires creativity and student engagement.
