Assessment: what is the value and benefit of student self assessment
Collaborative process that involves both the student and the teacher
Provides the student an opportunity to reflect on their success and areas for growth.
Motivates students to higher levels of achievement.
How can you avoid unreasonable risk
Very detailed lesson plan
Following the rules and staying in the boundaries
Clear instructions to help students stay on task
Thorough written plans
Follow the safety document for safe instructional practices
Appropriate teaching techniques
Safety precautions
Explain risks
Off-campus guidelines
Self-discipline
Ensure proper supervision of children is being met at all times (awareness of space, where children are, the risk in an activity in which they are performing)
Give 2 examples of playground games
Wall and ball stations
jacks
clapping games
skip rope
cup stacking
Indigenous games
How can you implement safe practices in your school
Establish classroom rules at the beginning of the year
Post them in the classroom, in the gymnasium, on the playground, and on a class trip
The classroom rules should act reasonably concerning the welfare and safety of the children.
What are the 4 C’s of assessment and how would you use them
Continuous -
Based on general and specific curriculum outcomes and encourages student learning
Focus on both process and product
Ongoing feedback
Example: Formative Assessment through the course could be continuous, this could be a self reflection sheet that students do every class. Like a sheet at the door they touch on the way out
Collaborative -
Encourage students to become responsible for their own learning and develop a positive attitude toward and active, healthy lifestyle
Should help to make students feel competent and successful related to their own physical abilities and encourage them to set goals for further improvement
Should involve partner group to create an awareness to program outcomes and criteria and communicate what students learning is occurring
Example: A reflective sheet where they talk about what they did good in their learning so they connect
Comprehensive -
Should be developmentally appropriate and taught in a developmentally appropriate manner, constructive, focus on strengths, and encourage further learning by creating positive atmospheres and positive self images
Criteria -
should identify the critical aspects of performance that describes, in specific terms, demonstrating students learning
Should be communicated to students
Should include students in identifying and or creating the criteria
Example:
Teach them steps to different movements, with specific terms, and have teaching cues.
Remind them of these teaching cues as they practice movements
Ensure they understand that this is going to be assessed
Allow them to be involved with the Criteria so they understand
List 3 benefits of including gymnastics into your physical education program
Children learn to move with control, strength, power, endurance, grace, and safety.
Activity that involves the whole body – upper, lower, left, right.
Involvement can improve locomotor, non locomotor, and manipulative skills. Also, develop strength, agility, balance, flexibility, endurance.
Students can learn the importance of safety and perseverance in activities.
Benefits to the whole body are noticed and involvement helps fitness level.

I control Bobby Skillful Fitness Story
How could you adapt/modify aerobics lesson for a student with a hearing disability
Using flags or agreed gestures alongside the audio cue/whistle to enable deaf children to receive a visual signal at the same time that hearing children hear the whistle.
Physical demonstrations so that students can see the appropriate bodily movement.
Use flashcards with visual signs of what bodily movement/instruction I would like for them to do next.
Give me an example and explain how you would teach a dance lesson to a grade 4 class
How could you be inclusive for all
Inclusivity= changes and modifications in content, approaches, structures, and strategies.
Strengths should be valued, and PE programs should maintain individuals’ dignity.
Celebrate their successes.
Avoid looking for issues.
Involve the participant.
Provide opportunities for the participant to shine.
Use instructional support.
Foster equal relationships.
What are the roles of Alternative Environments
Support the development of basic fundamental motor skills
depending on the activity, supports elements such as strength, endurance, physical fitness, balance, etc.
Unique to alternative environment activities is the application of basic fundamental motor skills in activities that are held in different environments. Students are exposed to such places as swimming pools, arenas, sports facilities, camping sites, trails, etc.
Develops an awareness that there are a multitude of places where people can be physically active.
Participation and skill development can promote lifelong physical activity as these environments are those that the students will access as adults.
The inclusion of alternative environment activities increases the breadth of the program provided to the students.
Using an example of Alternative Environments, show how you could use stations to teach it
Physical Education is being cancelled at your school, provide 4 reasons why this shouldn’t happen
Health:
Increased performance in activity will reduce the chances of obesity and diseases later in life.
Learning Progress:
students who are given more opportunities to be physically active will enhance their ability to focus and learn within the classroom.
Mental health:
Mental Health Association states that mental health consists of one’s social, emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Therefore, Physical education is part of a holistic approach to supporting the wellbeing of students in education.
Motor Learning:
Students motor skills improve with increased opportunities for physical education and activities.
Social and emotional learning: physical activity is associated with a stronger self-image, quality of life, and quality of peer and family relationships in youth.
What is DPA
Daily Physical Activity
supports student learning
increases students’ need for physical activity
teachers can promotes students to live active and healthy lifestyles.
DPA should:
Vary in form and intensity.
Take into account each student’s ability.
Consider resources available within the school and community.
Allow for student choice.
What is Physical Fitness
A physical state of well-being that allows people to
perform daily activities with vigour reduce their risk of health problems
and establish a fitness base for participation in a variety of physical activities.
Some components of physical fitness include strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
How can you incorporate physical literacy into DPA
Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life. DPA allows children to learn physical literacy through exercise and find value in it
You can incorporate it in classroom: dance breaks, morning walks, lunch time activities like just dance, and teaching them playground games for lunch time
Incorporate joy of movement in the classroom
What is observational learning
Visual demonstrations or modeling: important for learning
Demonstration is a practical strategy (however must be carefully planned and executed)
Conditions must enable learners to perceive what is going on.
Explanation and discussion during demonstration enhance student performance to be the most effective in motor skill acquisition.
What are some safety considerations when planning a physical education lesson outside the school
Site: Ensure that environment is safe and clear of potential hazards.
Equipment: Must be free of damage that can potentially cause harm. Must also be placed and used in an appropriate manner.
Clothing: Children must be wearing the appropriate attire for the alternative environment. I.e., outdoors during the winter, children NEED proper boots and winter attire
Supervision: ensuring that there is adequate supervision to meet the safety needs of the students
Medication: any important medication for students must be brought and stored properly.

What should be considered when teaching individual activities
Equipment needs must be considered: as they are working individually
Station teaching can help when equipment is limited.
Supervision is key as the students might be doing a multitude of different things at any given moment.
Similarly, safety needs to be considered.
Always think about developmental appropriateness. As students are working individually have many different pieces of equipment available for student choice/use
When goal setting or record keeping with the students, have them consider their performance rather than others.
Challenge students to better their previous performances

What are 6 different ways of assessment
Formative/summative
Qualitative/quantative
Norm-referenced or criterion-referenced.
What is a physical educated person
Demonstrates competency in many movement forms and proficiency in movement forms. Applies movement concepts and principles to the learning and development of motor skills. Exhibits a physically active lifestyle.
What resources should you consult when making lesson plans
Alberta Program of Study
use the organizing idea, understandings, skills and procedures to focus on learning a specific skill development for the lesson plan. You can aim to teach 2-3 outcomes. However, it is important to consider time.
What are individual activities and name 4
Individual activities provide students with opportunities to work individually on activities that require minimal equipment. In these activities, students are challenged to enhance their levels of coordination, power, and strength.
Examples: Juggling, cup stacking, throwing, long jumping. Fitness stations, yoga, jump rope, juggling
Discuss techniques to improve classroom control
Inevitable discipline problems
Non-verbal cues (head shake, eye contact)
Be proximity of situations where behaviors are arising.
Define clear rules and expectations that are fair, respectful, and easy to understand.

Long range planning
Year plan
What type of plan is more general
Year Plan
why are year plans made
creating a year plan helps a teacher stay organized and provides an overview of when curricular outcomes are to be addressed.
how are year plans organized and what is included in them(5)
a month-by-month outline of:
the activities chosen
the general and specific learning outcomes to be covered
the assessment strategies to be utilized
the facilities needed to conduct the program.
year plan needs to consider some factors(4)
Learning activities need to build upon prior knowledge.
Must provide a breath and variety of activities.
Consider the five dimensions
Consider this several times throughout the year so that students are exposed to different activities within each activity dimension.
what are the 5 dimensions
dance, gymnastics, alternative environments, games, and individual activities
what are the main purposes of year plans
Have an overview of learning opportunities for the whole school year.
Provide a general picture of how the curriculum will be introduced.
Focus the teacher on identifying when general and specific curriculum outcomes will be addressed.
Provide opportunities for sequence learning.
Mid range planning
Unit Plan
what is a unit plan
A unit plan is a group of lessons related to a theme or activity. A unit plan enables a particular theme or set of activities to be explored over a period which allows for scaffolding of learning, reviewing, and extension
What do Unit plans do (8)
Align/address specific provincial curriculum documents.
Identify specific learning outcomes.
Focus on a particular activity dimension.
Outline progressions.
Detail specific learning activities and teaching strategies.
Identify equipment needs.
Recognize potential safety issues.
Outline the possible assessment strategies to be used to determine if students meet the expected learning outcomes.

Short Range Planning
Lesson Plan
What are lesson plans
The lesson plan is also a detailed account of what the teacher expects to transpire during a set amount of time.
What do lesson plans need to take into account
the creation of a Lesson Plan needs to take into consideration the overall outcomes identified in the Year Plan along with those learning outcomes more specifically addressed in the corresponding Unit Plan
Purpose of assessment
important that teachers can link their planning, instruction, and assessment. The intentional creation of such a link improves the opportunities for successful learning for students.
Alberta Education states that assessment practices should be conducted in a manner that
promotes, encourages, and supports ongoing learning and contributes to the overall development of students.
The 4C’s of Assessment
Continuous
Collaborative
Comprehensive
Clearly Communicated Criteria
The 4C’s of Assessment: Continuous
Based on general and specific outcomes, assessment encourages student learning through an ongoing assessment that occurs frequently rather than isolated performances.
Such assessment practices focus on both the process of learning and the final product of performance.
The 4C’s of Assessment: Collaborative
encourages students to become partners in their understanding of and being responsible for their learning.
This can help students to develop positive attitudes toward an active, healthy lifestyle and the development of physical literacy.
It also allows for the involvement of and the sharing of information with educational partners to create an overall awareness of program outcomes and expected performance criteria of student learning
The 4C’s of Assessment: Comprehensive
A program built upon developmental appropriateness and taught in a developmentally appropriate manner, can consider all facets of learning from a student perspective, focus on strengths, and encourage further learning.
The 4C’s of Assessment: Clearly Communicated Criteria
Performance criteria should be understandable to all.
students should know what they are expected to understand and perform and be able to articulate this to others. Students can also be involved in identifying and/or creating the criteria for assessment.
