Elementary PE Teacher and Track Coach
About Me

I am a "Senior Plus" as I am sometimes called. Although I already have a degree in Sports Mangagement and Leisure Recreation, I am back in school to get my PE Teaching Certificate. I would liek to finish getting my certificate within another year and half, and become an Elementary PE Teacher.

I want to become a PE Teacher to young children, because I love playing with children, watching them grow, helping them learn about sports and the sports they like to play. I also like to be outdoors and feel children should spend more time outdoors playing and getting exercise.

My Teaching Philosophy

My Teaching Philosophy:

I feel that children need to spend more time outdoors exercising and playing than indoors. I feel it PE gives students a chance to play outside, exercise, make friends, and improve their fine/gross motor skills. PE also teaches children how to have sportsman like attitudes toward winning and loosing. As a PE Teacher, I will teach my students the benefits of staying healthy, using the talents to play sports God gave them, how to work as team, and what competition is truly about. I will do this while also teaching children to give glory to God for the athletic abilities they have.

My 6 approaches for teaching and Outline

My 6 approaches are as follows:
1)Using the internet to research different games for my PE students to play.
2)Researching different rules that a successful PE teacher needs to have.
3)Researching rules on sports I am not fully knowledgable about.
4)I will use what I have learned in this class to better my teaching outside of the classroom and the playing field.
5)I may use sites such as Blogger, or Twitter to keep my students updated on school events such as Field Day or Spring Fling.
6)I also plan to use the internet and search sites I have learned about to find equipment to play the sports and games I have researched.

Outline:
1)Researching different games
- I plan to look up games the students may have not played before, look up games about team work and participation, and also look up games that work on gross/fine motor skills depending on students' ages.

2)Researching different rules to be successfull
-I want to research ways to get my classes to fully participate and want to play, win, and learn how to apporiately loose. I also want to learn to mangage their behavior successfully, prevent fighting, and prevent injuries.

3)Researching different rules
-I plan to research the rules of games such as football, basketball, and volleyball, so when the students play them in PE they will be playing be the correct rules, and we will as also play them during season.

4)Using what I have learned outside of the classroom/playing field.
-Because I will not teach in a classroom, I want to learn about activites that can be done outside that will also help teach the what they are learning in the classroom(games having to do with math). I will also needs to research games that can be played indoors incase it rains or if there are limited facilities.

5)Using Blogger or Twitter
-When I learned about Blogger and Twitter then used them for myself, I realized they could be helpful in letting students know about special dates. I hope to use these sites to let students know about Spring Fling, Field Day, Jump Rope for Heart, and other thigns the school may participate in.

6)Purchasing Equipment
-I learned from researching about the games and the sports that there is a lot of equipment I will need for the students to play the games right. I will use the internet to explore prices and narrow down which companies to buyt from.
