\n* What is important to teach in PE
\n* Fears of teaching PE
\n* What is purpose, understanding of PE past & present<\/p>\n
Sorry for the late post! My experiences in PE were mostly negative. I was self conscious of my body and was teased a lot by boys. \u00a0I was often left out of the PE activities and most of the times was able to sit on the sidelines and watch or I would skip class. \u00a0PE was focused around learning how to play sports that of which I did not have an interest in. \u00a0I did join basketball for midgets and senior high school, but fell out of interest because of small town politics. \u00a0I was always turned away from sports from players being too competitive and or aggressive.<\/p>\n
In PE, it is important to teach students all aspects of health at not just focus on games and sports. I was absolutely terrified to take this course and my whole past PE class life flashed before me. \u00a0Honestly, I was wondering if I could sit on the sidelines and pass – this is how my past in PE had shaped me!<\/p>\n
What I learned on the very first day of this course was a breath of fresh air and I was able to relax. Some of the key things I took away include:
\n~ Looking at the gym as a big classroom
\n~ Lesson planning for a purpose and giving every activity a purpose
\n~ On-going assessment of students
\n~ Emotional safety by setting rules and including everyone
\n~ Play safe, no province wide, school wide and classroom rules<\/p>\n
Prior to this class I thought I could not teach PE and coming out I can honestly say this is one of my favourite classes and I look forward to every Tuesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
