Good and bad examples of teaching practices
In the chapter two slides titled describing instructional models for physical education, gives some good examples of developmentally inappropriate and appropriate teaching practices. One example of general instruction that would be inappropriate, would be for a teacher to use words or terms that the students are not capable of understanding. The teacher should always use words and terms that the students can relate to in order to achieve full understanding. Another bad or inappropriate teaching technique is having the students pick their own teams during an activity. If this happens their will always be a team organized by just athletes. The teacher must select the teams before class begins in-order for an activity to be fair and everyone in the class can enjoy. These were just some interesting facts that I learned from reading this power point slide.

Good job on choosing those areas on which to focus....develelopmental appropriateness in vocabulary is just as important as in a task...
ReplyDeleteJust a thought - with middle school students I would let them choose their partners and groups (not one by one) as long as they were not distracting to them...then when I needed two teams for the next progression, I would put them vs. their partner - usually worked out fine - because one's partner was generally at the same skill level (competitive, precontrol, etc.)
