Hello PE Nation!

Today I discuss how I implement SOLO Taxonomy in my PE class. This model offers a powerful framework for structuring learning progression in physical education, taking students from basic knowledge to creative application through five distinct stages. 

• SOLO stands for Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes
• The five stages progress from pre-structural (knowing nothing) to extended abstract (creating something new)
• Using Legos as an example: level 1 is not knowing what Legos are, level 5 is creating original designs without instructions
• Similar progression with musical instruments: from holding a guitar to jamming and creating new songs
• Modified approach using numbered magnets makes the system more kid-friendly
• Implemented successfully with dance, hockey, soccer, football, and pickleball units
• Students track their own progress and clearly understand what skills they need to advance
• Higher-level students can help teach others and create new games or activities

Take care,

Dave
