| PARENT COACHING THEIR CHILD IN HIGH SCHOOL: While in high school, my basketball coach was one of my teammates mom. Although she was an excellent coach, many players/parents caused problems and disrupted the teams focus because they thought she 'favored' her daughter all 4 years. What are your thoughts on parent coaches, especially at the high school level? Please share in the forum. |
| PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH?: As up and coming, and even existing Physical Education and healh teachers, do you feel that it is important to "practice what you preach?" In other words, should phys. ed. teachers themselves be physically fit and healthy? Should there be a physical fitness requirement teachers should meet? Please share in the forum. |
| SUBSTITUTING: I am a 5 foot, 19 year old sophomore girl in college, and I am going to be substituting in a month at my high school and middle school. I am afraid that I am not going to be able to control my class, and the students are going to walk all over me because I am a substitute and I am young. Is there any advice you could give me to help me make the right choices, gain respect, and make it through the first day of substituting!? Please share in the forum. |
| ARE OBSTACLE COURSES EFFECTIVE?:Do you believe that setting up an obstacle course in the gym for your elementary school students to partake in is a beneficial way to promote fitness? Does it truly cause the heart rate to increase if its going to take up the entire class time? Please share in the forum. |
| K - 4 I'm going to be placed, starting next week, in a school district where I'm going to teaching K-4. I have never taught children this young and I am looking for any advice on how to get the kids attention. Something easy for the children to relate to and they would understand, any ideas? Please share in the forum. |
| IS TECHNOLOGY GOOD?: Should advanced technology be used in teaching physical education? Heart rate monitors and other devices like them are fine but consoles, like the wii, Xbox, can have hidden problems. Yes it is a good way to get students involved and a way to get them to like physical education because kids love video games. However is it the right way? I will admit some wii games really get me moving if I play them, but having a healthy mentality is just as important as having a healthy body when teaching physical education. Most kids will play video games alone at home with no social interactivity without others and that’s not healthy. So should we use this form of technology to motivate students when it comes to teaching? Please share in the forum. |
