Planning and Instruction
Physical education teacher candidates plan and implement developmentally appropriate learning experiences aligned with local state, and national standards to address the diverse needs of all students.

Element 3.1: Design and
implement short and long-term plans that are linked to program and
instructional goals as well as a variety of student needs.
Artifact: Adapted IEP
Artifact: Example Lesson Plan to Reach Goals
Date: Fall 2012
Reflection:
Through
Adapted Physical Education & Sport I had the opportunity to work with an
adult with special needs. While working with her I created an Individualized
Education Plan (IEP) that was specific to her individual needs. Although this particular
adult had Down Syndrome, she had base of good communication and motor skills. After
my first assessment of her abilities I was able to make proper assumptions to
what goals were realistic based upon this assessment. Creating the IEP for her
required me to make some short and long term goals to work towards. We worked
through the semester to complete as many goals as we could.
This
artifact validates my ability to meet standard 3. Not only did I create
specific short and long-term goals for this student, but also I worked closely
with her in activities that would help her in reaching those goals. These goals
were established for improving her fitness, psychomotor, affective and
cognitive domains.
This
standard is important to me as a developing physical educator because I must be
able to create individual and/or class goals, but also understand what to do to
achieve those goals. Being able to design and implement short and long term
plans while keeping in mind the different skill levels of your students is key
for a physical educator to do to be successful and to stay organized.

Element 3.3: Design and
implement content that is aligned with lesson objectives.
Artifact:
Shinty Lesson Plan
Artifact:
Shinty Lesson Video
Date: Spring 2012
Reflection:
During
my teaching experience in Basics of Effective Instruction, I designed a lesson
for the kindergarten level based around a foreign game known as “Shinty.”
Shinty is a sport originated from Scotland and is a combination of hockey and
lacrosse. Using the theme of Scotland and Shinty I created a developmentally
appropriate lesson for kindergartners teaching them how to strike and pass a
ball. I taught them how to strike and pass the ball. Since I was working with
kindergartners I didn’t use any implements so I taught them how to use their
arm like a stick.
This
artifact demonstrates standard 3 because I was able to design and implement a
lesson for kindergarten specifically around the sport Shinty and Scotland. The
lesson objectives were based around the basics of striking and passing the ball
with their hand.
This
standard is important to my development of becoming a physical educator because
it shows my ability to be creative and design different themes for lessons to
teach particular objectives. Being creative with lessons and themes is
important at any age level to ensure student interest and participation.
