The government has a major role, and although it is not an intention to delve into the government’s involvement in physical education, it is necessary to mention their ambitions to constantly improve both the teaching and learning of physical education. This ambition can be represented through the numerous teaching schemes, courses and initiatives that have also been made available by organisations such the Physical Education Association (PEA) as reported latter on in the assignment. Furthermore the government have the responsibility for deciding on the cornerstone set of guidelines known as the National Curriculum. Literature Review The primary school which I worked at consisted of years one to six as well as a reception class.

Choosing a vocation can be a daunting task. With the world ever-evolving, one may come across a new attractive career every year. In order to ensure optimal job satisfaction, it is vital to educate oneself about every alluring prospect prior to committing. Simple factors like the time commitment and salary can mean the difference between a content existence and a miserable one.

Smith (1991) explains that the way in which the pupils understand the value and purpose of PE may influence the way in which the lesson is delivered and what pupils achieve. Papaioannou and Macdonald (1993) go on to say that pupil personal progress and success is achieved when the pupils see the lesson objectives and learning outcomes as purposeful.

EPE 100 has not only taught me so much about becoming a teacher but a ton about myself. Prior to EPE 100, I felt as though I had a solid understanding of what it meant to be a physical education teacher. Do a quick warm up, Rally the students, put them into teams, explain the rules and let them go at it. Man oh man was I wrong. Throughout readings, assignments, and practice I now believe to have a much better understanding of what it means to be a physical education teacher. There has been three major ideas that have begun to influence my teaching philosophy; Teaching for physical literacy and skill development not just sports, embracing physical activity as a lifelong journey and challenging all students inside and outside of the classroom. These three concepts are very important to me as I begin my teaching career and are the three highlights in which I took out of EPE 100.

While I was navigating the NATA website I found many interesting things about Athletic Training. One thing I learned was about the CAATE, the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education. This commission is responsible for figuring out three types of educational programs in athletic training; these include Professional Programs, Post-Professional Degree Programs, and Post-Professional Residency Programs.

First, physical education is the most important class of the day. I truly believe it is the subject you use for the rest of you life. As a physical education teacher I would base my philosophy on three stages. Cognitive stage, the associative stage, and the autonomic stage. I would spend a lot of my time on the cognitive aspect, which to me is the fundamental and coordination part of learning. Centering on the cognitive aspect will directly understand how these kids think and learn about exercises and activities. I don’t think we spend enough time on the beginning process we want to jump the end so fast then if there coordination isn’t down correctly it could mess everything up

This program can be used for children of all ages. At a young age, the goal of the classes it to teach simple motor skills, and teaching the students how to move the different parts of the body. Simple activities include hula hoops, jump ropes, bean

My classroom observation at College Grove Elementary gave me a lot of useful insight as to what the average day of a Physical Education teacher may be like. Some things were surprising and other things were as I expected them to be. One thing that was particularly interesting to me was all the different ways Mr. Dunn kept his class running in a smooth and orderly fashion. Using a microphone so the students could hear him well and so he could capture their attention, which can be hard to do with young children, letting the students run to warm up and get out energy, using the numbers on the floor to recapture the attention of the children and keep them attentive and focused, and using positive reinforcement were all wonderful skills

There are many important factors to consider when teaching students aged in their middle childhood (6-10 years) and planning curriculum. During this time the student’s physical development is changing dramatically and as teachers we need to understand the changes they are going through so we can adjust the learning environment accordingly. By “physical” I of course mean the development of the body, brain and motor skills. I will now explain the importance of all factors needed for excellent physical growth and development in the middle childhood years.

physical education is one of the best ways I know to commit to the community. Which is why I chose physical education to represent this vaasomway. The reason I think physical education is a great choice is because of how the coaches work hard to make sure that their community is fit and healthy. Other than that P.E helps those who want to do well in sports or other activities. There are many challenging obstacles in P.E such as concentrating on your stamina, breathing, body pain, and the workouts in general. But I think anyone can overcome those obstacles if they train and work hard

Physical education in America is important. As it stands the Edmonds school district has made it a requirement for high school students to complete 1.5 credits of gym before they can graduate. Edmonds schools provide a wide array of different Physical education class opportunities and athletics programs. I firmly believe that the Edmonds school board should change their policy to allow students participating in a school sport, to receive physical education credits toward graduation. This policy would allow student athletes to focus on being students, and give them more time to focus on their academics.

What is Adaptive Physical Education? Adaptive Physical Education is Physical Education which has been modified, so that it is as appropriate for the person with a disability as it is for a person without. Essentially, making Physical Education accessible so that every student can participate no matter their skill level or abilities (APENS). APE is something that should definitely be continually funded and is something I believe is important. As an aspiring PE teacher, I fully believe in the benefits of APE and it should be provided to every student.

Physical education is defined nowadays as a “systematic instruction in sports, exercises, and hygiene given as part of a school or college program” (Park). When most people think of the term “physical education” they think of it as “a broad, inclusive term comprising the fields of physical education, health education, safety education, athletics, recreation, dance education, kinesiology and so on” (Zeigler 1). It may sometimes be referred to as physical training or gym class and mainly is taught in grades kindergarten all to the way up to your senior year in high-school in the United States. The history of physical education dates way back to the Greek and Roman times and has slowly evolved into what it is now today. There is a
