1) How could you use what you have learned so far in this course in a secondary school setting (middle and high school)? Be sure to include both content and pedagogical knowledge in your discussion. What generic levels of skill proficiency or stages of learning (use whichever you prefer) can you expect students to attain at each of the school levels (elementary, middle, and high school)?
In elementary the student at the informing stage and just getting acclimated to gymnastics and dance. These student will learn basic body management from general space, body management, performing symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, and narrow and wide stances. A teacher should make sure every student is learning the skills needed, so when they get to middle school they will not be discouraged. In middle school the students are in the refining stage, and should have a basic understanding of their body, but have not mastered it. These student have enough learned skills to start putting sequences and/or routines together starting from shapes, rolls, and using some equipment. This knowledge shows the cognitive understanding of what was learned at the elementary level. Also, they will be able to flow with music. A teacher at this level should have the student make sure student can make a routine and practice. While high school student are in the applying stage, and will have the knowledge to put a well-defined routine together for display. This students will have a good understanding of
With a small group, discuss the following questions. Choose someone to read the question out loud, and direct the discussion so that each person can offer his/her opinion on the topic. Have another student record the group’s response and choose a third student to report the information gathered to the class in a discussion.
1. Analyze the questions associated with your chosen case study and discuss them using concepts you learned in this course.
Dance demands the same physical skills that are required in other sports. Flexibility, strength, and endurance are key characteristics that most dancers need to posses. As with other “athletes,” most dancers are not born with these abilities but must establish them through practice and repetitive training. Similar to traditional sports practices, dance rehearsals are extensive and require diligence, dedication, and patience from the dancers as they will have to repeat exercises and stretches to perfect their technique and stay on
3. Describe at least one connection between the reading and topics from outside class (other classes, news stories you’ve seen, etc.)?
a. The first and most prominent thing that has worked well for me in this course was getting 2 attempts for every quiz and test. You told me that you believe in mastery learning and so do I. Learning from your mistakes brings an entirely new level of understanding. Also, if I do worse than expected on the first attempt I’m not stuck with a bad mark that I’m not satisfied with
State Standard: Georgia, The Georgia Performance Standards for Physical Education are founded on the National Physical Education Standards established by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. (NASPE) The Standards suggest what a physically educated
In summary, this course has really educated my view of being a teacher as well as being able to interact with today’s diverse and fluctuating educational setting. Therefore, the discussions were very good ways in understanding how
We will have a quick aerobic workout for our warm up, we all will stand in big circle and each child will take turns of suggesting a new move. Then we will start our daily activity, which will be dancing. The students will move to stimuli such as rhythm, beat, music, and words. Different movement patterns that resemble
In the practice of teaching, it is the responsibility of a teacher not only to teach students subject matter, but to teach students in order to enable them to grow and develop as a person. While it is essential for students to have an understanding of academic material, it is also equally as important that when students finish their education they have skills to use in
Class Implementation: I read this book and think that a high school student would enjoy it
Canada schools systems found that “Physical Education models, grounded in the Personal-Global orientation, place learners in an interactive role with the curriculum content” ( Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, 2010). Canada developed physical education programs that are student centered. These programs have flexible expectations in regards to activity skills. Their students are evaluated on the process as well as the product. They are graded on involvement and active participation, not just on their performance or skill level. My assessment grades students on following the directions more than if the perform it correctly. They need to prove they understood the concept not that they can execute a perfect Hip step. I graded them on including everyone equally not that everyone did the steps correctly. Finally they were assessed on time constraints and flow of movement which is important concepts in dance and
Growing up I was a gymnast. My mom enrolled me in classes when I was the mere age of one and a half because she would find me rolling on the floor and flipping over the furniture. In fourth grade, during recess, you would find most of the students climbing the jungle gym, swinging on the old squeaky swings, or playing an innocent game of flag football, but not me. I would go to the far end and work on perfecting my tumbling passes. Gymnastics is all about staying tight but being graceful at the same time. All of your skills have to flow or it doesn’t look right. My philosophy was always “gymnastics or bust.”
While implementing the lesson a discussion on what is the opinion of the text and your approval why and why not? These are the following questions that I will use toward the writing. What style of language is viewable with the vocabulary usage? What tools can one use (jargon icons, distinct phase, and teams) in an assignment? According to the article are there any information that was unclear, missing, or unavailable? What patterns do you notice and can you predict what will happen next? Use multiple perspectives on how others view the situation differently and who agrees and disagree? What role do they play and how do their opinions differ?
Ballet is a constant path to improvement. It can be learnt at any age. Look closely at the plastic of ballerina,
For most elementary age students around the country the core subjects such as science, math, and reading are separated from the arts. However, schools across the country are slowly combining the arts with the other subjects and are finding success. Dance is one form of art that would have multiple benefits for students. Dance and physical movement should be incorporated into elementary education because it improves students’ attention and interest in learning, improves learning in core subjects, and promotes a healthy lifestyle in students.
