Philosophy Statement
- Due to the current obesity epidemic in the United States, it is very important that Physical Education provides students with a positive learning environment and overall outlook upon being physically active. It is very important to me to teach students about various ways to be active and have a lot of fun while doing so.
Mission Statement and Curriculum Intro
- In my classroom, students will learn various concepts and skills in regard to Physical Education. Movement concepts and basic skills will be taught to the students so that ultimately they will be able to enjoy a variety of different ways to remain physically active through lifelong activities.
Lesson Plans
- Attached above are a couple examples of lesson plans that I would use with my students. The first is a lesson plan relevant to movement concepts during the primary grade levels, then the second lesson plan is relevant to students in the secondary grade levels.
Assessment
- Attached is a statement in regard to my beliefs about assessment in Physical Education. Assessment will be based upon each of the three domains in Physical Education: Psychomotor, Cognitive and Affective. Examples of specific assessment methods will also be included in regard to relevance with each of the domains of PE.
Technology in PE
- In a changing world around us, it is important that I stay current as a Physical Education teacher in regard to technology. Incorporating a variety of ways to use technology within the curriculum will only make PE a more fun and beneficial experience for students in the years to come. The goal is to help create a positive outlook upon physical activity with the students. I believe the increased incorporation of technology is an effective way to do just that.
