Health/Physical Education: How Will This Class Affect My Future

Improved Essays
How will this class affect your future teaching? This class will affect my future teaching in many ways. For starters, Health/Physical Education will allow me and the students to have flexibility within the general classroom setting. I will have free range to integrate my core curriculum with Health/Physical Education to ensure that I reach state standards as well as give the students variety. In doing so, the students will see the importance of anatomy when health/Physical Education is infused. Not to mention, this will give the students the knowledge of how the body systems work, and what will happen if the systems are malfunctioning. As a teacher I will use brain boosters to motivate students to move. Unfortunately, many schools will cut …show more content…
My overall perception changed. I no longer saw Physical Education as a place where children release their energy, but as place where students infused other core curriculum, and learned the concept of what they were doing and why. For instance, they had to grip a ball with the understanding that they were developing their gross motor skills as well as having fun. Down stacking cups was intended for students to develop a brain based: left to right movement, cross midline of body, support hand and eye coordination and also to improve reading comprehension. More importantly, when I went out to the schools for observations and had an opportunity to see a Physical Education teacher integrate anatomy with Physical Education. During this lesson the students was asked to point to different parts of their body afterwards the students was shown how these parts look underneath the skin …show more content…
The Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) believes that students should have a minimal of 60minutes of exercise each day; it shows that students who are physically active have a better learning readiness, attention, and lower behaviors issues, and better academic outcomes.
How has your thought about physical Education and health education changed? My thoughts about Physical Education/health have changed. In the since that, we are as one in the education field. As much as we portray ourselves to be slightly superior over one another we will lose our students’ confidence in the education they are receiving. The last I checked, we all are required to take the same academic course of study to receive our state certification.
In what ways will you incorporate health education and movement education within your general education curriculum? I will incorporate health/movement education into the general education curriculum by using the My Plate and brain boosters. As an illustration, I will have the students to create their own My Plate depending on the grade, and have the student’s differentiate from a healthy food choice and a not so healthy food choice. Moreover, I could have the students to participate in a brain booster once they enter the class to release that built up energy. Additionally, I could incorporate some of the unique ideas that our class did for their lessons at Valley Elementary School. For instance the rollercoaster

    By implementing the four-year physical education program with the help from the government, everybody will be entitled to follow the curriculum. There will be a penalty for not following the curriculum, including postponed graduation, suspension, and expulsion from the school. For students who are physically active, an additional one hour PE class per day will not be a big impact to their health issue, but it would work excellently for students who are not physically active. For example, if students spend most of their time sitting on a chair or laying down on a bed, and their only physical activity is walking in between classes, the PE class will help them participating in a variety of physical activities, such as running, swimming, and playing sports games. Along with the banning soda machines in schools, this program will help the community to fight…

    Rationale The importance of Health and Physical Education as an aspect of the Australian Curriculum (AC) is an integral part of a students development as it establishes the skills, behaviours, knowledge and attitudes necessary for a healthy and active life (Cliff, Wright & Clarke, 2006). Incorporating regular opportunities for children to be physically active whilst at school has the potential to impact their physical, social, emotional and cognitive development (Marotz, 2012). Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are the building blocks for all movement (Landy & Burridge, 2002). FMS are commonly classified into three categories; non-locomotion (rolling, landing) locomotion (running, walking) and manipulation skills (hand-eye or foot-eye…

    Kids who are less athletic are picked on for they're lesser abilities. This can cause major stress on the student, and can lead kids to skip school out of dread for the class. It would be a lot easier to give these students an option of a class they would feel safer in. Locker rooms is another aspect to the class that students fear. Changing in front of their peers isn't exactly comfortable for everybody.…
