DOMAIN 1:  PLANNING, PREPARATION AND ASSESSMENT

Description of Learning:

My experience in planning, preparation and assessment has been mainly from my secondary methods class at Slippery Rock University.  I have learned how to refer to academic standards, teaching relevant lessons and adapting to needs of a diverse group of learners.  Additionally, I have experience in martial arts class planning, preparation and assessment through certifications from National organizations.  I understand the need for planning with appropriate goals and activities for students.   I have been able to affectively integrate different resources needed for diverse populations.

The main classes taken within this domain include:

  1. Human Growth and Development Psychology
  2. Educational Psychology
  3. Practical Introduction to Teaching Physical Education
  4. Secondary Physical Education Teacher Education Methods
  5. Assessment Strategies in Physical Education
  6. Introduction to school Health education

Reflection:

I feel that I can plan adequately in any subject that I am proficient in the knowledge of the activity.  I feel that I can be taught much more effective preparation and assessment strategies to become an even better teacher.  I feel that I have been taught many strategies to designing coherent instruction including using such techniques as the VARK system, interdisciplinary lessons, and adapted and modified lessons through inclusion.

Plan of Action:

My plan of action includes achieving the knowledge in all of my required classes and learning everything that I can in this domain.  I want to incorporate my knowledge of content and pedagogy in planning, preparation, and assessment.   I plan to work hard at integrating technology to help organize, manage and instruct with the best possible resources available at the time.  My plan is to  excel in the field in every aspect of being an excellent health and physical education teacher.
