<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Nicole Tucker</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Physical Education Philosophy</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The purpose of Physical Education is to create physically educated people who can stay healthy for a lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To help people become physically educated they need to be taught about physical education in all three learning domains; psychomotor, cognitive, and affective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think that the psychomotor domain is the most important and 70% of class time should be dedicated to kids being physically active and getting a good workout.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cognitive and affective domains should each take up 15% of the lesson because they are both required to create a well educated person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">To physically educate students in the psychomotor domain, a teacher must get kids active, excited to move, and interested in an activity that will keep them fit for a lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some kids do not participate in free play or sports and therefore are only physically active during PE class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teachers in the PE setting have a duty to get kids participating at a moderate to vigorous intensity level during every lesson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teachers also need to create excitement about being physically active.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If a teacher puts in extra effort and makes physical activity fun, kids will want to participate and will become better movers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Along with making physical activity fun, teachers need to explore a variety of activities so that every child will find an activity that he or she will want to use to stay healthy for life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most people stop playing team sports after high school or college so teaching other forms of physical activity is very important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">To help students see the validity of PE, physical educators should teach in the cognitive domain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students need to understand the benefits of being physically active, and the hazards of a sedentary lifestyle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>PE teachers should teach their students how to make a personal fitness plan, how to use resources in the community to stay active, and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle past working out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If students are aware of the hard facts behind physical activity they will be more likely to participate in class, and more likely to stay active even after physical education classed end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Teaching the affective domain is important in physical education because it teaches students safety and sportsperson ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Physical activity can be dangerous and a physical educator should always let students know about any injury that could occur during exercise or play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>PE is also a great way for students to learn how to win and lose in a gracious manner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a responsibility of a physical educator to make sure that students are taught the etiquette of how to lose so that they are well prepared to compete in the future if they choose and not know how to lose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">If a physical educator teaches lessons that touch on all three of these domains, students will become physically educated and will have the desire and knowledge to stay fit for life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teaching students a variety of psychomotor skills will show them how to perform a task, teaching the cognitive aspect of that task will teach them how to continue the skill throughout their life, and teaching in the affective domain will show students how to be safe and responsible during physical activity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>Nicole Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03673973743388084937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813346367314198072.post-44806378323364477682011-11-28T18:35:00.003-08:002011-11-28T18:35:50.037-08:00Coaching Philosophy<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Coaching means training or instructing someone. In order to do that successfully, a coach must emphasize trust, skill, and sportsperson ship. The relationship that a I, as a coach, want to have with my athletes is based off of these three principals. There is a balance between them that needs to be maintained, but if it is done properly the athletes will have a successful and rewarding experience. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Trust is the biggest factor of being a coach. It is necessary so that athletes know what to expect, and therefore can focus on playing the game. Trust of athletes is gained through routines, contracts, and my ability to stick to my word. If athletes know what to expect from practices and games, they will be able to put their effort into playing and not have to stress about the politics of the game. Being able to keep my word is essential to maintaining trust because athletes need to know that I am a reliable person in their life. As I want my athletes to trust me, I want to be able to trust them. Through the same protocols (routines, contracts, and going through with what they promise) I will be able to trust them. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Skill is necessary for any team that is successful. In order for a team to become skilled, there must be a preexisting level of fitness. My athletes will do a pre-season work out to make sure that they are in shape before they come to practices. There will be an emphasis on fitness in every in season practice, but the main focus will be skill development. Athletes need to spend a lot of time learning the techniques of their sport and that is what practice time will be used for. I will do extensive research in the sport I am coaching and will keep my athletes competitive by teaching them the most efficient and useful skills for that sport. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Sportsperson ship means that athletes are acting as good citizens. I will demand my athletes to have a good academic standing, be respectful, and not have any disciplinary problems. While athletes may be outstanding at the high school level, chances are that they will not make a living playing sports, this is why I will require my athletes to have high grades. Athletes need to be respectful of coaches, other athletes, parents, referees, and any other personnel involved in the sport because it will teach them how they should conduct themselves in the real world. Being an athlete is a privilege that must be earned and my athletes will need to be good citizens in order to play for me. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">By developing trust, teaching proper skills, and demanding that my athletes be good citizens, I believe that I will have a successful team that is made up of well rounded, good citizens. </span></div>Nicole Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03673973743388084937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813346367314198072.post-56054696174262971862011-11-28T14:02:00.000-08:002011-11-28T14:02:02.521-08:00Education Philosophy<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Education is receiving or giving information, and is what shapes out society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Education allows people to make decisions about their own beliefs and in effect guides the way they live their lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The most prevalent place to receive education is from a school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are three parts that make up a positive educational environment and they are teachers, students, and the administration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Teachers exist for the sole purpose of improving the lives of children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A balance of compassion, patience, knowledge, trust, and a general desire to help children is needed to create a positive and safe learning environment for kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A compassionate teacher understands that all kids are different and embraces those differences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Embracing differences involves changing lesson plans and putting in extra work to make sure that every child is set up for success and optimal learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A teacher who has patience will take time out of their lesson to help students learn something that they are having trouble with while also challenging the more advance students in the class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teachers should not get frustrated easily and should not hold grudges against students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A good teacher should also be knowledgeable in the subject that he or she is teaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is always more than one way to teach something and teachers should have multiple ways of teaching one thing so that more students can learn at their highest potential.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A genuine desire to improve a child’s life is also needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A teacher should always put student’s education before any other outside assignment in the district.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Coaching, advising a club, or working on outside projects cannot get in the way of teaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last and most important quality of a good teacher is trustworthiness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students, parents, and administration need to be sure that a teacher is creating a safe environment in which children can learn to their fullest potential.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Students need to be willing to learn, and open to forming their own ideas about what they are being taught.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Receiving information from a teacher should not be enough, students need to process the information and add their own life experiences into the mix to come up with their own ideas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is easy to accept what is taught at face value, but students need to be encouraged to challenge what they are being told if they don’t agree, and add more personal insight to the information if they do agree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The environment that education takes place in can have a large impact on the quality of that education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students and teachers should feel as though the district or administration is supporting the enhancement of education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A district can show support through funding, openness to new ideas and programs, and constant contact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A school district should know what is going on in the classroom or gymnasium at all times, and should be providing sufficient equipment and supplies to make sure that positive, beneficial learning is taking place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">If teachers, students, and administration are all compliant to these ideas, I feel as though maximum learning will occur, and students will be well prepared individual thinkers in society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>Nicole Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03673973743388084937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813346367314198072.post-81532252045095204782011-11-28T09:36:00.000-08:002011-11-28T09:36:04.851-08:00Bullying in SchoolsHere is a great resource to find out ways to handle bullying, stats on bullying, and anything else a future educator should know about bullying!<br />

Kids should not be inactive for more than 2 hours at a time, so as a PE teacher try implementing programs in your school such as before school warm-ups, recess organized games, and other short segments of physical activity throughout the day. This <a href="http://www.timescall.com/news/longmont-schools/ci_19150101">article</a> tells of how one physical educator increased the amount of Physical Activity his students participated in each day.

I came across a website that has a list of websites that are all about making PE as credible as possible. Some of the articles include things such as how physical activity improves academics, how to fight obesity in schools, and why dodge ball should not be played in schools. PECentral has this list of websites, or can be found by clicking <a href="http://www.pecentral.org/professional/articlesdirectlyrelatedtope.html">here</a>.

All of these things make sense, but on the <a href="http://www.aahperd.org/naspe/standards/PEPS.cfm">AAPHERD</a> website all of these documents are laid out along with the reasons of why they are important. The most interesting part of the website that I found is the section on looking at PE from a developmental perspective. I liked this part of the website because it offers a set look at why we teach in a developmental pattern and all of the aspects of it. </span>Nicole Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03673973743388084937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813346367314198072.post-26667623160861141562011-10-24T09:39:00.000-07:002011-10-24T09:39:55.426-07:00Fun PE Site!I was searching the internet for some cool PE sites, and came across a woman, <a href="http://www.hccanet.org/patricks/">Susan's</a>, private site. This website has information on activities, resources, and adaptive aspects of PE. My favorite part about Susan's site was the Human Ladder activity. This activity is basically like the continuous railroad activity, but with more of a project adventure twist. This activity would be good for kids who don't care to be physically active because they would be more focused on keeping their teammates up in the air rather than the amount of physical activity they are experiencing.

I came across a site <a href="http://teachers.net/lessonplans/subjects/physical_education/">teachers.net</a></span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">this website has a lot of specific lesson ideas that can be used in part, or in total for lessons. The lessons are broken down with objectives, anticipatory sets, and everything else necessary for a successful lesson. The website also offers lessons from other subjects, so if I am subbing for a teacher that is not PE I have a resource for last minute activities. </span>Nicole Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03673973743388084937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813346367314198072.post-8788147451840443002011-10-24T09:21:00.000-07:002011-10-24T09:21:56.007-07:00Be fit for life with NASPE<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Right now, there is a huge emphasis on keeping kids fit for life. A great way to teach kids this is by using the 12-15 class lesson called Fit For Life. The </span><a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/4iVRIQ/www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/teachers/lessonplans/health/fitness/fitforlife.html">FIT for life lesson plan</a> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">can be found here and comes equipped with objectives, list of materials, and breakdowns for each lesson in the unit. at the end of the document, there is an area that says what kinds of assessments can be used, and how the lesson correlates to each of the 6 NASPE standards. This unit is great for teaching kids personal responsibility while creating a fitness plan. </span>Nicole Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03673973743388084937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813346367314198072.post-89554530552584362132011-10-19T22:04:00.000-07:002011-10-19T22:04:38.723-07:00SOARing to new territoryWith the job market in today's PE word, it is important for phys ed undergrads to think of other things they can do with their degrees. While researching this topic, I came across a program called <a href="http://www.soarnc.org/about.html">SOAR</a>. SOAR stands for Success Oriented Achievement Realized and helps teens and young adults who have learning disabilities and or AD/HD. In the program, kids are taken out into the woods to camp and try high adventure activities. With a PE degree, many of our orienteering and project adventure units would help us to know how to handle the kids, which activities are useful, and be able to keep the kids physically active.

I recently learned how to hula hoop, and am eager to create a hoop dance unit for my curriculum. Hoop dance can improve balance, coordination, rhythm, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular endurance. There are so many different things that can be done with a hula hoop, lessons can be customed to fit the needs of students. In example, if one student wants to increase upper body muscular endurance, have him or her work on hooping around the arms and shoulders. If a student wants to work on lower body muscular endurance have him or her hoop around the knees or lay on their back with a leg in the air and hoop around his or her leg. </span><span style="font-family: Gautami;"> </span><br />

She has a lot of exercises to teach basic motor skills, but she made them seem like exercises~ not games. PE for me as a child involved a lot of moving, but not a lot of fun. I think that it is important to infuse creativity and fun into PE lessons so that kids get a good impression of physical activity and want to keep doing it. In middle and high school we played games, but did very little skill and tactical development. We jumped right into game play with little preparation. Middle and high school levels of PE should be focused on specific skill development and tactical aspects of the game. If my teachers would have taught us specific skills, and some tactical drills game play would have been much more fun, and much more beneficial. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

Andrew, Jess, and I tought parachute games, and the kids really seemed to like them. Jess's game was played by tying a box tied to the center of the parachute and the kids pretended that they were elves and had to shake balls into the box. For Andrew's game, the kids sat down with the parachute and had to crawl under it to trade places with someone else. My game was called cool down the elves and the kids shook the parachute to make a breeze for the other kids. They all seemed to enjoy the games, the only problem with the lab was that the kids had a really hard time not touching the parachute and getting distracted by it.

They practiced both dribbling a soccer ball and a basketball. The kids did very well with the basketball skills, but not so well with the soccer skills. I think that a lot of the games that were played at this lab singled kids out, and made them nervous. This is because the skills we were assessing are skills that need to be done one at a time. I think that when I teach I will try to eliminate this feeling for kids. One child in particular, Adam, was not participating in the soccer drill, and when he was asked to kick the ball, he was nervous. I personally remember being in PE class, and being afraid to do certain skills in front of the class. I will try my hardest as a physical educator to make kids feel comfortable, and not scared to perform skills.<br />
