ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATION: I currently teach an adapted P.E. class of 30 students. 14 students have varying severities of Autism, and 16 are moderate to severely MR. I see them twice a week for 90 minutes and once more for 50 minutes. I have been rotating the same six or seven games that they know and enjoy for a while. Any suggestions as to some activities I could do with a class this large and with such an array of abilities? I do have five teacher aides with me but they get bored, as I do, with playing the same games all the time. Please share in the forum.
COACHING & SPORT: I am a college athlete in Track and Field, a sport that i want to coach someday. Is being a college athlete in that sport enough or is a coaching minor still necessary? Please share in the forum.
INTERDISCIPLINARY: Does anyone teach in a school where all the teachers in one grade level have plan and their students are in Art,Music, and PE? The teachers at my school would like to "block" a set time for their specials everyday. This gives the classroom teachers common plan time and therefore better student achievement. Please share.
ELEMENTARY PHYSICAL EDUCATION: When I am at home for summer, I run a tennis camp for kids 5th through 9th grade, and I often get frusterated with them while trying to teach them the game of tennis. What can I do to increase my patience with them, or does anyone have any fun games you think I can play with that age group that would be beneficial? Please share in the forum.
HEALTH: When I was in high school i don't remember ever hearing about compulsive addictive behaviors. I think this is a topic that needs to be covered in health classes because certain personalities are more prone to addiction. I belive this should be a part of mental health to allow students to be aware if they may already have some of these tendencies. Please share in the forum.
SECONDARY PHYSICAL EDUCATION: I know that it is hard to pick an activity that all the students will enjoy. Is there any particular activity that works well with high school students? Please share in the forum.
