Element 2.1: Demonstrate
personal competence in motor skill performance for a variety of physical
activities and movement patterns.

Reflection:
Throughout
my time at SUNY Cortland I have been activity participating in a variety of
activity courses. While taking part in these different activity classes I have
been able to improve and refine many different motor skills and movement patterns.
Along with practicing these skills, I also gained more knowledge of history,
rules, successful strategies and adaptations for the skills and activities.
This
artifact meets standard 2 because throughout my semesters at Cortland these
courses have allowed me time to practice and receive feedback on my skills.
This leaves me feeling confident in my ability to properly teach and perform
the skills or movements for students, while also being knowledgeable about
adapting and evaluating a skill.
This
standard is vital to my development as a future educator because I must be
knowledgeable and skilled in a variety of activities in order to relay the
knowledge and skills to the students. Teachers should have a variety of
experience in different sports, activities, and skills so they are able to
teach more than the “tired sports” in physical education.

Element 2.2: Achieve and
maintain a health-enhancing level of fitness throughout the program.
Reflection:
I’ve
been a member of the SUNY Cortland Women’s Track and Field team since 2010. I participate
in both indoor, outdoor track and since fall 2011 I have been running with the Women’s Cross Country team.
This
artifact meets standard 2 because in addition to practicing during the normal
season, I am committed to the team in the summer preparing. On top of regular
training during the summer I like to participate in local 5k’s. This training
schedule allows me to maintain a healthy fitness level. After college I plan to
continue my running career and fitness level by participating in 5k’s and
challenging myself to run in half and whole marathons, triathlons.
I
believe that being fit is an important element of being a physical educator because
the students should have a positive role model to look up to. If a teacher is
teaching about living a healthy lifestyle the students are more apt to listen
if the teacher “practices what they preach”.
