What does the 'E' in the SEDP model stand for?

The 'E' in the SEDP model stands for 'Evaluate'. This component emphasizes the importance of assessing both the progress of the swimmer and the effectiveness of the instruction provided. Evaluating helps instructors determine the swimmer's skill level, identify areas that require more focus, and adjust training methods accordingly. It is a critical step within the teaching process as it ensures that the learner's development is continually monitored and enhances the overall learning experience. By understanding the needs of the swimmer through evaluation, instructors can provide more tailored guidance to help swimmers improve their technique and confidence in the water.

While 'Explain', 'Enhance', and 'Engage' are also valuable components of a teaching model, they pertain to different aspects of the instructional process and do not represent the specific focus of evaluating student progress and instructional effectiveness.
