GIVING STUDENTS "HoPE" IN H&PE
I just realized that the word HOPE is part of H&PE...I just changed the "&" to a to a heart (or lower case "o" with a heart in the middle)!
My question as a health & physical educator is how do I educate my students to build hope and confidence in themselves? How do I create a safe and productive learning environment that builds personal and interpersonal skills that can be transferred to other curriculum areas? How will I integrate the Living Skills on a daily basis? Well, character building is an important part of the H&PE curriculum...we as teachers can give students HoPE in H&PE!
When we observe our students' needs we can drive our daily planning through encouraging Living Skills. Below, I created a model of how I envision Living Skills impacting my teaching of the H&PE Curriculum and incorporating a continual cycle of planning, acting, assessing, observing and moving through this cycle of teaching with Living Skills at the heart of my planning.
LIVING SKILLS:
Personal Skills
Interpersonal Skills
Critical Creative Thinking Skills
Living Skills Impacting HPE Curriculum and TLCP cycle
At the heart of H&PE is Living Skills. Every expectation in the Ontario Curriculum is connected to a Living Skill.
How are you making Living Skills a part of your H&PE program?
