Looking Backwards: Positive Impact On P-12 Students

My main weakness is my ability to manage a classroom. I must learn to establish myself as the teacher, and that my word has meaning behind it. I must create an environment that allows the students to understand the reason for the things we are doing, and that it is imperative that they are engaged in the learning to become a more balanced

My learning from EDX1450 will influence how I teach HPE by taking a strengths-based approach, addressing the diverse needs of students in health and movement strands, and that health promotion is for all teachers. Through using a strength-based approach, students will recognise that every person has a variety of skills and life experiences to recall in regard to their health and wellbeing (ACARA, 2015e). By focusing on a student’s strengths and abilities it promotes and maximises health and well-being for all students and the wider community. I will modify physical activities with the understanding that students are at varying developmental stages (Callcott et al., 2015). This will ensure that my students have success while also being challenged

The proposed sports tabloid afternoon provides an opportunity to consolidate the Health and Physical Education lessons conducted throughout the year. Students have been engaged in health and physical movement that have enable them to acquire, apply and evaluate fundamental movement skills, concepts and strategies confidently, competently and creatively in a variety of physical activity contexts and settings (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], 2013).

Which the children do not learn more from me not knowing about a certain subject. My spelling is another area that I could improve on because if a child needs and wants to know how to spell a word and I do not know how to spell that word then the child is not learning how to spell the word, but if I did not know I or the child could refer to a dictionary to find the word and spell it correctly. Behaviour management is another one of my areas that I need to improve on, this is a negative to have because children will over step barriers between student teacher relationships and disrupt every lesson because children know I will not challenge their behaviour. These strengths and room for improvements were discussed between me the teacher and the teaching assistant that I work with.

In everything we do, even if it is our best performance, there is always room for improvement. It could not be different in a career such as teaching. Teachers are always self-reflecting to analyze and evaluate their own teaching methods in order to find out what works and what needs to improve. With this information in hand, teachers can come up with strategies to improve certain areas of their teaching. There are many tools teachers can use to self-reflect. As a teacher, I will continually evaluate the effects of my professional decisions and actions on students through self-reflective journals, video recordings, students’ formal and informal assessments, peer support, student and parent evaluation, and suggestion box.

My first goal is to graduate and get certified as a medical assistant. To reach this goal I will attend every class, study hard, and pass every class so when I complete my externship I will be confident in my new career.

As the semester begins, I would like to continue to work on enhancing the previous goals and skills in my previous practicum class as well as use more advanced skills. I would like to work on implementing and illustrating enactments and scaling interventions in my sessions/videos. Be able to identify and understand situations/feelings that arise in therapy sessions pertaining to self-of-therapist and enhance my professionalism. Hence, having confidence to lead my therapy sessions by relying on what I have learned in previous classes. Also, be able to use proper clinical language. Moreover, continue to work on understanding my limitations, biases, comfort levels and work on being transparent in order

Audience Analysis: since most of my audiences are students with a job, I will focus on how exercise can boost your energy, and mental health to get more accomplished in school.

It is obvious that all of our instructors have a common goal, which is for all of us to learn as much as we possibly can. I honestly think that by allowing as many opportunities as possible to see and experience as much as possible will help us all learn from our clinical experiences.

Our plan, is to bring the sports to these students, so we can utilize their talents and teach them crucial team building skills that will positively impact their adult lives.

Specific purpose: My purpose is to inform my audience about why physical education should be

Looking back to the first day of clinical to the last day I have changed a lot during this time. During the whole clinical experience I had to use a lot of the growth mindset in-order to get fully through the whole process. My clinical teacher and I didn’t quite have the same opinion on certain things. While we did struggle through are different mindsets, it was a great learning experience. I will have people I work with that I don’t always agree with and I will have to find a way to compromise with them. This was something we talked about with each other and worked through. So, Im grateful in that aspect in learning how to deal with those situations. I also changed in that I’m more confident in giving my lessons to my students, along with I tried to not be as scared in-front of them.

“Physical education hopes to accomplish, to engage all students, not just the athlete elite, in fun activities that will instill a lifelong commitment to fitness.” (Johnson, 264). Physical education in the classroom can be a vital steeping stone to the way that teenagers think about fitness. Lifelong fitness is something that everyone should be guaranteed, it mainly depends on the experience that a teenager has. Like many other subjects in school, the

It has not been easy but challenging and interesting. Unfortunately in this present job I have no colleagues, institution authorities or supervisors, which means anything I do in the classroom hardly ever provides me any feedback of what I am doing. Except of course for the eventual commentaries I receive from my students and the annual performance evaluation. Therefore I had this urgent necessity of obtaining some refreshment and reviewing of what I am doing in my classroom. I need to make a stop to reflect about how effective my teaching is. If the things I am doing are adequate and suitable to take my pupils to achieve their goal to communicate in the target language. Teaching in this context was at the beginning of the journey a frightening and stressing episode, first of all because I did not know anything about mining, geology, finance and accounting, just to mention some and not to make myself look like a complete ignorant. Secondly the atmosphere in a corporate has nothing to do with the informal ambience in an elementary school and thirdly but not least important, the students expectations and perceptions are not the same. Thus, I had to remake myself.

Physical education enhances the mind through giving students a healthier body, but many schools have overlooked this fact.
