Some may think that learning is solely associated with school and or specific training regimens. Some people say they hate learning new things yet they know how to use all the latest technical devices. Even the defiant teenager who refuses to cooperate in class or participate in the discussion is learning. He or she is testing the instructor. If the instructor reacts by yelling or attempting to force the student, he or she is learning they can gain attention or control of the classroom through their behavior.
Misbehavior is less likely to recur if a student makes a commitment to avoid the action and to engage in more desirable alternative behaviors.”(Kizlik, 2012). I believe that I have a more to learn about classroom management and policy, especially dealing with punishment and consequences. The use of praise in my classroom management style might be good. In the use and way I praise students matched the use of best practices of more seasoned professionals. I have linked praised with student performance and instruction.
Compare the Teaching Games for Understanding model to a skill based approach to coaching or teaching games. Describe how each approach affects pupil’s development of knowledge, skills and understanding using appropriate practical examples from a game(s). In this essay I am going to explore the key ideas behind the Teaching Games for Understanding model and a skill based approach to coaching games and compare and contrast the two concepts in the area of how they help student’s development of knowledge, skills and understanding. The Teaching Games for Understanding (TGFU) model is methodology that encourages physical activity, engagement and enjoyment while promoting a greater understanding of the aspects found in structured games (Forrest et. al., n.d).
Our opponent was against Diablo Vista. We all had butterflies in our stomach. Before the game I got the players in a huddle and told them, “Whether we win or lose isn’t as important as the camaraderie I have seen between you guys over the last couple of weeks and I am honored to be able to coach you gentlemen.” Coaching basketball was not easy for my but in the end my perseverance paid off. Not only did I learn how to earn the children’s trust and how to be a mentor but I also learned something about learning. I am not nearly as nervous anymore when put in a new environment.
This article basically says that high school sports are not killing the academics but the students/athletics are killing it themselves. It explains how school sponsored sport programs should be seriously be thought about being cut off. Some people believe that sports are far more firmly fixed in American high school than in other countries but the test scores finds no support. Ripley bring up that athletic coaches are typically lousy classroom teachers. However, athletic coaches gain additional opportunity for communication by helping the student succeed.
Socializing with friends and going out to have fun was another reason why I did not learn how to write proficiently. While in high school, I worked two jobs that consumed most of my time. My past focus on playing sports, socializing with friends, and working, instead of focusing on reading and writing, has caused me to have problems writing today. First, one of the reasons I am aliterate is because of playing sports. Playing sports in school took up time for practices and games that took away from learning and school work.
Some athletes can be role models, and some can be an example of what not to do or be like if you are striving to reach the professional athlete level. Playing sports are fun and fun to watch, but it seem as though when an athlete began to get paid to play, the love for the game go out of the window. As I watch athletes perform, they are giving their best in order to win the game. Fans love to see their favorite team leave it all on the field or court, win or lose, but prefer a win. Some fans take a lost to the extreme.
There isn’t nothing positive being done with the males in my family. They only thing that we all could do well was play sports but talent unused is talent wasted. I believe that I might not be as bad as them but if I continue in the direction I was going in I would end up in the same situations. I had to start my transformation. This is what motivated me to want to change myself and become a better person before it was too late.
An easy solution for this would be to take off gym as a class that counts against a students G.P.A, but many schools and universities do not agree to this. (News Hour) Some children are not as athletic as others when it comes to sports or to other things they have to participate in gym class. This can cause a student with a 4.0 G.P.A to lose points. These students don’t deserve to have points taken away from them just because of their physical characteristics. When things like this happen, parents also get involved, which cause more problems.
I knew that the teacher would tell me what I needed to know for a test. There was no instruction to teach organizational skills and I had no clue how to take notes or study. Going into college was like being thrown into the deep end of a pool and not knowing how to swim. Learning all of the necessary skills such as time management, organization, and studying creates worries which lead to stress. Time management is an essential skill if you want to be successful in college.
