Sports Lesson Planning Lesson Plan 1 Warm Up The short warm up task will involve running around in a confined space - a circle. The children will run round in a specific direction until something is shouted (For example, a number). Numbers can also be assigned to certain other body movements, for instance, if I shouted "Three!" they would have to jump. The warm up will last about five minutes, so as not to tire them out.

The Politics of Representation: Social Work Lessons From the Advocacy Planning Movement In urban planning's new political awareness, representation became a social responsibility issue. This new understanding of politics and social responsibility in urban planning may have brought boundary interaction between planners and other professions, such as social work… Introduction In his 1995 article, Andrew Abbott explores his evolving conception of the social work profession.

Lesson planning is a vital component of the teaching-learning process. Good classroom planning will keep teachers organised and on track while teaching. This results them to teach more, help students reach objectives more easily and manage less. If the teacher is well prepared, the better he or she will be able to handle whatever takes place in the classroom environment. Looking at the structure of the lesson plan, I find it to be sequenced in a developmentally appropriate manner. It focuses on one
skills, we will be able to improvise and improve the lesson and therefore boost the competency of pupils in the process of learning. In the process of planning a lesson, I have changed my perception on lesson planning from the student’s desk to the teacher’s desk. I have taken the responsibility as a teacher to plan a whole 60-minutes lesson with my group members. This coursework has given me an opportunity
The lessons that I had taught for this week proved to be very challenging and somewhat wasteful task. On the bright side, this whole ordeal has pushed me to become more aware of what works and does not work for the students. I also have obtained better understanding of how important it is to check for students’ understanding throughout the lesson and keep them engaged throughout the lesson as well. Every one of my lesson plans included PowerPoints to present content for the subject of my lesson
involved in planning a general English language course. In designing a syllabus for a group of Greek learners in a public secondary school what factors would you take into account in its development, how would you go about developing it, what would the nature of this syllabus be and why? Planning a general English language course can be very interesting as you are creating a teaching strategy that helps not only the students but also you, in a very effective way. Lesson planning is the first
Lesson Planning and Teacher Chat Rooms The nature of research and discovery of a topic at one time used to be complicated. Going to the library, searching through piles of cards that were categorized and confusing in itself. Trying to find the various sections of material and checking out the material (books, periodicals, etc.) I just thought, thank God for the library course offered through the University! How would I have ever found what I was looking for! I could brows through the high school
Assignment 2: Planning a 12 week scheme of work. Introduction This assignment has been designed to plan and produce a twelve week scheme of work in association with Unit 1: BTEC ND e-Media Production course. The course is designed to develop learners’ skills and knowledge in reading, analysing and deconstructing of e-media. Reece and Walker (2000) discuss, there are several building blocks to be considered when planning for effective learning. I will discuss the sections of the planning process that
Early on in my Block A experience I realised that a major contributing factor to the success, or otherwise, of my lessons was the pace. This is an area that I have looking at improving over the course of my Block A placement. The advice given by Gererd Dixon (2011: Online) is that; ‘One of the hardest things for new teachers is to inject pace and purpose into lessons while recognizing the needs of slower learners in the class.’ Working out the correct pace for my classes did prove to be a struggle
The lesson plan has been designed to align with the ACARA framework for Year 3 Mathematic Students (ACARA, 2014): The Measurement and Geometry Strand. The 3 sequential lesson plans from the new unit are part of a learning continuum, and have been developed around a student centred, constructivist approach. Explicit teaching was also important in reaching all the student’s learning needs. Experiences were motivating to promote on task behaviour to maximise learning opportunities. The lessons scaffolded
Post- Teaching Reflection What did you learn from your experiences teaching? I learned many things while teaching my science lesson but my biggest take away is always over plan. The more things you have prepared, the better! I felt very prepared for this lesson, more so with this lesson than any other lessons. I had been thinking and planning this lesson for weeks before actually teaching. I spent time collecting materials and was glad I gather enough so that every group did not have to be very
Question 1: Please answer in 200-300 words. Nearly all fellows are hired to teach in 'high need' schools that are located in low-income communities. Why do you want to teach specifically in a high need school? What challenges do you expect raising student achievement in your classroom and what experiences have prepared you for overcoming these challenges? Knowing these challenges, what steps will you take to prepare for your first year of teaching in a high need school, and why? Growing up, I lived
Cognitive Development: Piaget believed that language development is associated with cognitive development or one’s own thought processes. Children ages 2-7 years old classify in Piaget’s preoperational cognitive stage. In this stage children use their well-developed ability to symbolize events or objects that are absent. Although children can represent the absent objects, they do not permit the child to think about the reversible cost of actions. According to Piaget, comprehending at this stage
learned to speak with confidence and had my students address me as Ms. Brown. I also set rules during my lessons and asked my students to maintain respect while I was teaching. The rules I set in place included: raise a quiet hand to speak, talk only when you are called upon and respect each other and myself. By putting these rules in place I was able to show students that I was the leader in the lesson and not their peer. I also provided a stern tone when talking to students who were disrespectful. A
I have heard that for many beginning teachers, classroom management can be one of the most challenging aspects of their new career. Knowing this, I decided to experiment with many classroom management approaches during my student teaching to find one that fit both my students and myself. Based on these experiences, I designed a classroom management plan that I will implement in my classroom as a beginning teacher. It is important to note, however, that my classroom management philosophy will be
The lesson I have chosen to present is one that compares and contrasts cats and dogs and is directed to a class of 3rd grade English learners (ELs). I have used a Venn diagram and applied the information from my SIOP Lesson Plan to provide me the foundation needed to present a well-organized and educational presentation. The presentation is aligned to both the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Standards (INTASC) and the Arizona Professional Teacher’s Standards (APTS). The lesson plan
Lessons of Major Barbara, Good Woman of Setzuan, and Madwoman of Chaillot Philosophers all over the world have pondered over the idea of evil. This brings up another extremely essential question, “how should we live?” Because we know that evil is existent in our world, does that mean we must live with the knowledge, accept it and conform to society’s ideal that only the cunning survive? Or do we keep our original identity of purity and goodness at heart in our everyday lives. The three

A Painful Lesson in Staying Calm Oh boy, was I ever furious! I was cursing up a storm! “Damn ball! Where the hell did it think it was going? Who the hell ever let me learn how to golf? They obviously were one damn stupid bastard to think I could ever golf!” I briskly stormed away from the tee-box, enraged that my ball was completely out of control as it had flown through the air a few minutes earlier. “Just go damnit! Hit your fricken ball!” I sounded like a small pathetic child yelling
