    One activity that I would want to add to physical education would be Dodge ball. I want to add it because I think it is a good game, and I think that many other students in our school enjoy it too. If we were able to vote, in physical education, I think that many students would choose to add Dodge ball. The thing about Dodge ball that I think people enjoy is the friendly competition and facing off against their friends to see who wins. I think almost everyone can agree they enjoy a short friendly game of dodgeball.…

    Have you noticed that Physical Education seems to be a narrowing field? I strongly believe that there is a reason we need to keep PE in schools and in society today. Unfortunately, I feel as though many of the educators and teachers today aren’t taking it seriously. They aren’t doing enough to help the students become physically active, instead, the teachers just sit there because it is a job to them, nothing more. If the teachers had a better personal philosophy on what they actually want to teach, then I feel like PE would be a much stronger field and everyone would want it around.…

    At this stage, Year 3 and 4 students have developed FMS, providing the foundation for “competent and confident participation in a range of physical activities (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], 2014). The proposed sports afternoon “Let’s Move” will provide an opportunity for students to strengthen their fundamental movement skills (FMS), whilst developing a better understanding of physical literacy, which is stressed in the Health and Physical Education (HPE) domain of the Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2014a, ACPMP044). Physically literacy embodies moving with poise, economy and confidence in a wide variety of physically challenging situations (Tinning, 2006). When students are physically literate they are able to move with greater proficiency across a variety of fundamental skills that serve as the base for future participation in sporting activities (Mandigo,…

    Response to Lauren It is very true that it is always easier to write about something you know well, like about your life and personal experiences. When the topic is not familiar to students, then they need to do research to stimulate their writing. It is important to show ELLs how to do research and how to use it, so students start getting more confident and less scare about a blank paper. Response to Ana Villanueva I am happy that my students in physical education class are not the only ones that complain about writing in class that is not English language arts.…

    Ethical dilemmas are prevalent in education and, as leaders, we must find solutions that are fair and ethical for all stakeholders. A recent ethical dilemma that surfaced at my school involved a teacher and his use of physical contact with students. Our physical education teacher, who I’ll refer to as Mr. Smith, has a good rapport with students and coaches several sports outside of school. Mr. Smith has been teaching at our school for 10 years. He tends to make physical contact with students when greeting them, either with a hug or rub of the shoulder, and students have never complained about his seemingly warm nature in the past.…

    Mussell and Ms. Potts demonstrated an effectively controlled physical education class. It was clear that the women had established a clear routine and expectations for their classes prior to the observed class. During the lesson, the teachers demonstrated effective classroom management by having students sit in the center of the gym while instructions were being given. When splitting up into teams the students were instructed to stand on a line in the gym, then they were counted off to make two teams; this was an effective and time efficient strategy for the lesson. Expectations for appropriate behavior and play were established in the instructions for the day, and these were effectively reinforced by both teachers throughout the activity.…
