Chapter 1 review:
Book purpose:
to describe and analyze the techniques, behaviors, and approaches of
successful PE teachers who develop and teach lessons that are developmentally
appropriate while enjoyable and beneficial for children.
PE is different than other subjects: Kids are moving. 5-year-olds may be followed by
11-year-old. Wide range of content. Often poor or sparse equiopment. Frenetic pace. May interact with more than 350 kids/week
There is no precise formula to become a successful PE
teacher. Teaching is too
unpredictable. Classes and students have
many variables. Teaching should be
challenging and dynamic. A successful
teacher has a bag of tricks plus flexibility and understanding.
Teaching PE is more than keeping kids busy, happy,
and good. Success = kids learning and
developing positive attitudes.
Reflection: What are the challenges I face as a PE
teacher?
I also teach music and library.
It is difficult to find time to plan.
It is difficult to find time to coordinate with Bill.

Difficult to move equipment back and forth.
