Physical Education

I would provide individual differences for students by using intratask variation. I will provide options for students at a variety of difficulties for every skill in order to reach students regardless of their current level of development.

Depending on the skill or activity, I could also use teaching by invitation in order to let students decide on the parameters of different activities in order to best match their own skills and abilities.

While at the Intermediate School I created a pamphlet for parents in the School District as part of an assignment for my Penn State Student Teaching experience. I created a pamphlet that introduced myself, introduce what units the students are performing at the school, explain the importance of physical education and provide opportunities in the community for adults and children to be active in the community.

I could also create a webpage that includes updates on student's performance and what students are performing in class.

Well planned curriculum and lesson plans based on state and national standards, student centered lesson plans, content that is age appropriate, an education that is as individualized as possible, student assessment that is appropriate, maximal participation time for students, inclusion of all students within the lesson, inclusion of technology to benefit the lesson, cross-curricular connections

Love working with kids

Grew up in the area/family in the area

I would consider this job a "dream job"

Student taught in the District and really enjoyed working with the students

Of course I think every PE program has multiple goals, but the major ones should be teaching about health and fitness, teaching about collaboration and cooperation, and getting kids moving as much as possible. I want kids to come away from my classes with a good understanding of why it matters to take care of their bodies as well as their minds. I want them to understand why working together can be just as important as competing. Finally, I want kids to spend as much of my class as possible moving and exercising.

Discuss your method of assigning responsibility to the best candidates. How you communicate with employees to make them understand what is expected of them and how you make sure that the employees have the resources needed to carry out specific tasks. You should also chip in your follow-up procedures.

I have a passion for teaching and working with children. Teaching students is incredibly rewarding and something I greatly look forward to providing to my future students. Physical activity in today's society is needed now more than ever and encouraging young students to be active and establishing the foundation for a healthy and active life is a challenge that I look foward to meeting.

Improved physical fitness, motor skill development, regular physical activity, improved academic performance, self discipline, stress reduction, strengthened peer relationships, improved self confidence and self esteem, ability to set goals

Being a PE teacher helps me work on both of my major passions at once: health and education. I have always loved to exercise, and I've always been really interested in fitness. At the same time, I love spending time with children and helping them learn new things. As a PE teacher, I get to help inspire kids to take care of their bodies, enjoy movement, and learn sports and games. I get to spend my days moving and helping others at the same time.

One of the most difficult aspects of teaching is creating lesson plans that are capable of allowing all students to develop their skills and abilities and be successful despite the variety of ability levels that I will find in my future classes.

While at the Intermediate School during student teaching I was able to create a fitness lesson plan that integrated knowledge students had of the geographic locations of states around the United States. Similar to the TV Show "The Amazing Race" students would travel from state to state performing exercises at each state (states were set up as they would be on a map throughout the gymnasium)

At the high school during student teaching with Mr. ABC, I was able to incorporate technology through the video analysis of his strength and conditioning class. Using the app "Hudl Technique" I was able to use video analysis to provide feedback to students on their lifting technique. I could slow down video and draw to illustrate the proper technique while verbally describing how to perform each lift. This way students can hear the description for the proper technique while simultaneously seeing a visual to further describe each lift. On my ePortfolio website, I have this illustrated under the teaching tab.

This is a very common question that is asked in almost every interview. I love this question because it gives you the opportunity to sell yourself. Discuss what makes you standout from the crowd and show them how you can help advance their company. Remember to be specific. This is where all the company research you have done comes into play. You should have an idea as to why the company is hiring or looking to hire someone for that position. What problem do they have that they are looking for people to help them solve? And once you can establish this, you are to show them how you can solve this problem for them.

☛ 1) Students take the skills and abilities learned in physical education class and apply it outside of school and throughout their lives

☛ 2) Students are moderate to physically active at least 50% of the class period

☛ 3) I want to create a positive and encouraging learning environment in which collaboration is emphasized rather than competition and students are able to see and experience success through valid and reliable assessment.

One aspect that I would like to improve on would be my ability to make a class more individualized for students. My goal is for all of my students to take what they have learned in PE class and apply it in their own lives outside of school. I always want to reach as many students as possible individually so that students leave the Elementary School with a foundation of skills and abilities that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

Here, they just want to know how motivated you are about the position or if you are just there for the pay. They want to ascertain that you would form an important part of the company. You have to show them that you are willing to be part of the company and would do all you can to ensure you and the company grows together.

I would like to introduce a new type of physical education that increases the amount of technology available to students in order to improve their overall learning experience. Technology is a great way for me to save time as a teacher to further student activity time or create the ability to provide feedback to students on their performance.
