High School Teaching Experience
Having experience with teaching physical education and coaching in a variety of sports at the High School level; I have gained a better knowledge of their learning styles, developed strong behavior and classroom management plans, expect high academic achievement standards for both the health classroom and in the physical education setting. As well as independent, motivating, creative, and challenging lessons for my students.
I feel at the high school level, we as educators’ main focus for the student should be to review and make sure the student has mastered basic and intermediate physical education skills that they have learned in middle school and continue to develop those skills to an advanced independent fundamental sport and fitness level. Students are assigned team roles for each sport unit: which includes coach, manager, scorekeeper, athletic trainer, official, etc. Students will not only learn the skills of the game but will also learn to be independent and take responsibility as part of a team. Lifetime fitness activity goals and health education awareness will also be a main focus for students to gain valuable understanding of how to live a life-long healthy lifestyle that carries with them throughout their lifetime.
My goal for future high school physical education is that we would be able to offer a variety of elective fitness and wellness classes for the students to choose from based on their own personal interest. Such elective classes offered would be; weight training classes, walking fitness classes, lifetime activities, aerobic classes, coaching sports classes, officiating classes where students would be able to get certified to officiate, intramural sports, etc.
Some highlights of my work include: Sports Unit Individual Student Roles, Dynamic and Creative Lesson Plans, Developing Physical Education Summer School Schedules, and Rubric Grading Sheets.
