The Role of Learners in My Physical Education Program

Learns in my Phys. Ed program are to be prepared for daily challenges and achievements.
Learns are expected to participate as well as work together in pairs or groups.

Challenge by Choice; Providing Extensions and Applications to each Task.

My Role as the Teacher in the Physical Education Program

My role as the teacher will be of great enthusiasm, authority and even greater classroom
management. I will also aim to be a daily advocate and model for a positive citizen of
their community.

"Yet there are ethical skills to acquire that go beyond sport and games;
again, physical education is replete with situations where they can be
learned and practice. (Siedentop, 1983, pg. 161.)
The Ideal Climate in My Physical Education Class

The Climate in my Phys. Ed class will be of equality and Respect. Girls will be as active
as the boys and students will be held to high standards of self-respect, peer respect, and
faculty respect.

Boys were more physically active than girls and engaged in more heavy
physical activity, while girls reported a larger percentage of time spent in
light and moderate physical activities. (Myers, Strikmiller, Webber &
Berenson, 1996, p.856)
