As a physical educator who is
dedicated to producing physically educated students, I know that with
enthusiasm and proper teaching technique, all students can become physical
educated. My career of selling fitness, lifelong activity and health to
the future of our country is significant to me. Using my tools of the New
Era physical education, like standards, academic integration, teaching styles
and assessment I know I can positively affect every student I come in contact
with.
Physical education its own language which describes implements we use in our field. New York State and National standards met during each lesson is imperative. Spending equal time touching on all three learning domains of what students know, do and value is a must. Using a top down plan when using scope in each grade level and sequence in a district’s curriculum will promote teaching grade and age specific skills and activities.
I know physical education does not just deal with one subject matter, I strongly believe in Interdisciplinary Curriculum. Having academic integration in a district I teach in is important to me because it allows all students to gain an education no matter what type of learning style they prefer. Learning through movement can be helpful in all subjects from Mathematics to English. Having creativity of crafting new, unique lessons that incorporate topics students need extra time with is all part of the trade.
I am a believer of using different teaching styles to adapt to the class’s needs, whether it is guided discovery, divergent or self-check. Focusing on movement education for younger learners, focusing on developing a vocabulary for how the body works and building on that vocabulary for skill themes.
As a physical educator I use proper assessment with reliability and validity to promote learning, to verify learning has taken place, to set and meet goals and have to accountability of my lessons. I use authentic assessment, rubrics and criteria for affective, cognitive and psychomotor learning domains. Assessing throughout the school year is a priority of mine and I encourage students, parents and staff that physical education is vital to student’s education and well-being.
