My Teaching Philosophy
As a teacher the most important thing I want to do is to make a long-lasting impression on students, and enhance their
positive outlook on their own wellbeing. Building rapport through being patient, recognizing their achievements, and
taking interest in their overall learning.
I believe in physical education every student deserves an educator who is truly involved with their class, in order to
foster a safe environment, in pursuit of ample engagement. Furthermore, students should be offered the ability to
“think outside the box”, explore, create, discover, and become involved in their learning. Through exposing them to
new and innovative opportunities in correlation with enhancing their wellness.
This Years Big Projects & Goals
Here is an overview of projects students will be
involved in this year and what they will entail. Each
of the projects is linked to a general learning
outcome(s) and will enhance student’s abilities in
each of the 8 physical education core competencies.
All of these projects will be ongoing throughout the
year, and are intended to guide student learning,
and encourage students to make their own self
analysis.
Additional Strategies
Direct Instruction: Will be utilized to highlight safety
expectations when introducing a new activity, and
within the first two days of each new unit to ensure an
understanding of the activity and relevant etiquette to
follow.
Peer Teaching: Having students teach one another
allows them to have some autonomy of their learning,
and helps them to self analyze their own abilities to
becoming more confidant in teaching their peers. This
also provides a social aspect to fitness, fostering
positive relations.
