Workshop 2 – Commanding a Classroom and Target Games
In your Physical Education (PE) you must encourage both cooperation and
competition in your classroom
o Have lesson techniques in place that can be used across K-10 (small details
change but core elements remain the same)
o Ensure you use evidence-based practice
Be reflective in your teaching practices: what did I like/not like about my experiences
in PE? How can these experiences help you to be a better teacher?
o Negative Examples:
Uninspiring teacher
‘bully’ teacher
Ability not taken into consideration
‘gendered’ sports
o Positive Examples:
Learning new skills in a non-threatening environment
Focus on technique for ALL students
Encourage fun and participation (celebrate all victories)
Specialist vs. General Teacher
Specialist Teacher General Teacher
specific skills-based know students well and
teaching their ability levels
advanced teaching know how to challenge
practice (for specific students appropriately
sports) can differentiate lessons
new and exciting (both to align with student's
activity and instructer) likes/strengths
not repetitive
o Who is more likely to teach/inspire students?
o Research states that General Teachers are more likely to teach their students
compared to Specialist teachers (pg. 25 Dudley et al).
Specialist teachers do not see progression, do not have the ability to
give feedback and constructive criticism – they are “in and out in 30
minutes”
,
Important to note for General Teachers – if you are unable to
demonstrate a skill, do not panic! It is not expected that you can do
handstands, forward rolls etc. General Teachers have the ability to
choose specific students to demonstrate the skills you’re unable to do
yourself. However, General Teachers must:
Be willing to have a go and participate when able to
Be a positive role model
2018 Australian Report Card on Physical Activity (Active Healthy Kids Australia, 2018)
o The National Physical Activity recommendation is 60 minutes per day of
moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) eg. children are huffing and
puffing
o Why is it important for teachers to know these results?
This is so teachers can tailor their classes to take into consideration
where Australian children are scoring in regard to their physical
activity
Children may not be participating in 60 minutes of physical activity
outside of school, so it is important to engage them with as much
moderate to vigorous activity as possible at school, so they are least
meeting the minimum
