As we delve deeper into the school year, I\u2019m beginning to notice that so much of our year will be spent learning from each other. I\u2019ve spent much of our PE classes just observing and learning. I take note of what activities my classmates have come up with, how they instruct and what is they are hoping to accomplish in the short 45 minute lesson. I\u2019m starting to realize it takes a lot of work, organizing and thought to carry out these lessons. I use to think that PE was just a way of getting kids active, but in hindsight it\u2019s really about building a child\u2019s character, confidence, teamwork with others and physical literacy, and it\u2019s up to as a educators that the activities we employ foster that.<\/p>\n
My group lesson isn\u2019t for another couple of weeks, but as I think about it more \u2013there are so many details that I still have to fine-tune with my group members. For example, what activities we want to cover, how we want to divvy the lesson between our group members, the ways in which we want to instruct the activities, and how we are going to organize the class during the lesson. I only hope that creating and organizing lesson plans gets easier with time and practice. With our regular school visits beginning this week, a question I\u2019d like to ask my SA is at what point does creating lesson plans become second nature? Hopefully they\u2019ll be able to impart some wisdom that I will happily share with my cohorts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
