by Patty

Aug 28, 2008

Hello, i am a new phy ed instructor for an elementary school. I am hoping to incorporate games learning names and teaching routines and right now am drawing a blank (perhaps because I have so much information in my head from all the meetings). Could someone please help me get started. My head is spinning. Thank you.

by Shelly

Aug 28, 2008

I am a mother of two now, but I have always loved being physical, like Basketball, running, volleyball, swimming, anything that would get me moving and push myself physically. I never thought that now this is what i really wanted to do. I just want to know how can i be a PE teacher without the degree, or does it even reqire a degree?.

by cjode

I have recently returned to teaching elem. PE and had always used the President's Challenge to pre and post test student fitness. Please share your tests and any web links that might help me decide if there are more accurate, better tests! Thanks.

student teaching PE

by Jennifer

Sep 2, 2008

Hi--

I'm student teaching in PE in Texas and it is very hot-- when class is over I'm drenched with sweat. Then I have class and I hate going stinking like sweat, but there is no shower for the gym teachers. The coach who teaches the class says just use the shower for the students, which is a large comminuty deal. I did that yesterday and n...See More

Elisa Not sure I there is really a problem here. I work out at a Y with a a large community shower used by members age 15 and up. I've never heard of an accusation arising out of taking a shower in the only facility provided. especially where it all out in the open so to speak. Besides, with this student teacher's age, I doubt in the shower there's more ...See More

How do you start your classes

by Ali

Sep 6, 2008

I'm new to P.E. I am assigned 4, 5 and 6 grade physical ed. I have never taught this area before. My subject area is art. I'm not sure how to start the class. Any and all ideas are welcome and would be greatly appreciated.

view previous comments

Cybrary Man I agree with lndsywvu. Children should follow the same routine so they know what to expect when they come into the gym. You also have to make sure they know when to stop all activity so have a good signal or whistle count for that.

I have a lot of helpful PE sites on the Physical Education page on my website. Good luck! Physical Educatio...See More

PE teacher teaching health too

by kathy

Sep 6, 2008

Do any of you have to teach health because you are a PE teacher? I am trying to help a PE person pass the health praxis, which seems to have a lot of stuff on it OTHER than what is usually taught in middle/HS health classes.

Help!!! Unorganized off-season program!

by anon

Sep 6, 2008

This is my first year back coaching after taking some time off to further my education. During one of the periods, I am in charge of the off-season. There is no kind of structure as far as what should be done during this off- season time. The other coaches are off working with this season's athletes, so it's pretty much me and 60 kids. Some of the ...See More

anon Thanks for your responses. The administration has shorted us some coaches during that period because they need them in the classroom teaching. Our coordinator has complained to the ath. director about this. Not sure if anything can be done this year, but I am sure they will back us up next year when it comes to scheduling.

Our coordinator has complained to the ath. director about this. Not sure if anything can be done this year, but I am sure they will back us up next year when it comes to scheduling. I am just going to stick with the plan of having designated days for activities and mix it up. One of the veteran coaches and I had a chat with them on Friday at the end of practice and told them that some of them had no business being in the class and that we would start changing some schedules if we didn't see an improvement. The football field was free so I had them in groups running indian runs up and down the lines. It was 8 1/2 minutes of running and they were complaining about it. They were like, "I thought this was Fun Friday?!?!" I told them that Fun Fridays had to be earned. And my idea of fun Friday is doing a different sport each Friday. Last week was bball, this week they did running. Get over it. They hate me and I really don't care. I'm not here to be their friend. I have realized that they are the way they are because of how they were treated last year. They are lazy and undisciplined because they weren't pushed. If they leave this class at the end of the year with some sort of discipline and work ethic, then I will be thrilled. I just don't want the high school coaches thinking that's what we taught them.

Sep 13, 2008

cjode covered the issue with admin. I will bet that the first time some kid gets in trouble or hurt because he or she was out of eyesight or earshot of a coach you will get more help in there.....even if it is just another teacher from who they "buy" their conference period.

What would you do?

by Goodrich

Sep 8, 2008

What would you do in this situation? I was correcting the students about spitting. This was the second time. I explained my reasons and a student said "you're a douch bag." I sent him to the office. I think he is only getting a detention. My plan is to have him write sentences and definitions after he has walked around the cones for 10-15 minutes. ...See More
