For the past month, several teacher candidates, including myself, have become involved in track and field. I worked specifically with grade 5 students in running events, long jump, and softball throw (a modification of shotput). This has been a great experience for me, as I wish to be involved in extracurricular activities throughout my teaching career. As a student, I was always involved in sports, and I would love that my teachers would take the time out of their days to help us pursue our passions and interests! Therefore, I hope to do the same for my students.
As a coach, I organized heats, recorded attendance, participation, and placements. It was an intense month, but today, it paid off! All of my wonderful grade 5 students made it to the District Track Meet. I was a judge at the finish line – therefore, I recorded students that came in first place. I was also responsible for handing out first place ribbons, which was such an honor! I felt so proud of all students, but especially mine (as I have built a strong connection with them). Regardless of their placement, I made time to congratulate their efforts. It was a fun day at the district track meet, and I have definitely become certain that this is something I hope to do during my teaching career!
So great to see you are getting involved in your practicum school community. Track is a wonderful way to get to know many students and families from across the school. As a teacher in a school placement, even a temporary one, this can be very beneficial. It can build your ‘teacher presence’ or identity across the school and impact your ability to effectively engage with students who aren’t even in your own class! Handing out the ribbons is a lovely reward for your efforts (and your students efforts!).
