Community and Family Studies

In this episode of The PDHPE & CAFS Podcast, we bring you a behind-the-scenes listen into a live MasterClass from our Health and Movement Science Membership.

We’re joined by experienced Stage 6 teacher Karlee Matthews, who unpacks exactly how she’s navigated the Collaborative Investigation (CI) in Year 11 HMS. From planning and programming to classroom implementation.

Karlee breaks down the process she used to scaffold student learning, manage group dynamics and guide her class through a range of research methods like experiments, interviews and observations.

You’ll also hear how she aligned the CI with assessment, set her students up for success and the go-to resources she swears by.

Plus, we chat about what’s coming up at the HMS Summit and why you seriously won’t want to miss it.
