The Teaching Style I subscribe To:

In order to meet the needs of a diverse student population, I’m committed to assure a learning experience that

will assist my students to achieve their greatest potential; to adapt, and adjust to a diverse and ever changing

society. This will be accomplished through continued cooperation between school, community, parents, and

students. As a teacher I will foster a climate that is safe and supportive of individual students, enabling them to

become a successful adult through continued community involvement.

Student Discipline & Conflict resolutionI believe in the three strikes and you’re out rule as it applies to violations of the schools rules and regulations,

with the exception of fighting which will result in direct dismissal to the office. The first strike is a verbal

warning and an explanation by the teacher about the violation. The second strike will lead to a detention. A

third strike will lead to a formal office discipline form and a conference with the student’s parents.

Statement of Motivation

The Guided Discovery approach emphasizes the production of new talents. This approach invites the students to

think, to go beyond the given information and then discover the correct skills. As educators we promote access to

excellence and strive to inspire through education that emphasizes the power of discovery and the foundation of

critical and analytic thinking. We should foster creativity, and challenge the boundaries of knowledge by

cultivating independence of thought through unique opportunities of learning that allow our students to grow to

their fullest potential.

The purpose of physical education is to help students develop the concepts of

physical fitness and the knowledge needed to participate in a variety of activities.

*Help students understand there is more than one way to be physically active.

*Teach in a creative manner with multiple types of program activities.

* Comprehension of nutrition to help achieve a healthy lifestyle.

*Physical activity provides the opportunity for enjoyment, self-expression and individualism.

*Incorporate games or activities that will require trust and teamwork with one another

Goals and Objectives

Example Observational Narrative

The overall philosophy of TrainUp is founded on one idea that is of major concern, childhood obesity. It was

created by a local doctor in Rockwall; Dr. Pfliegers’ idea was to incorporate technology into the realm of physical

fitness that offered children an alternative to the traditional form of exercise that is generally only sports related.

As technology continues to expand the children of this generation continue to advance technologically; and what

better way to reach out to the children of this community by adding technology into their exercise program. The

TrainUp philosophy is a wonderful attempt to change the fate of childhood obesity by offering an alternate

solution to the dilemma this county is now facing.

Why Assessment is Important

I value assessment because it is the crucial interface between the student and the teacher. The importance of

utilizing assessment as an effective tool determines whether or not the goals of education are being met. The

students learn what the qualities of good work is, and how to judge their work against a defined criteria. As a

result, students work to assess their own efforts, feelings of accomplishment, and how to set personal goals.

These are qualities of self-directed learners, not passive learners. As teachers we model, guide, and provide

practice in self-assessment, students learn that assessment is not something separate from learning or something

done to them, but a collaboration between teachers and students, and an integral part of how they learn and

improve.
