For student learning, my main

goal is for my students to be
equipped with the knowledge
they need to live a long and
healthy lifestyle. Using
technology and the resources
available online, it would help
me achieve those goals. When
I want students to preview

Students can come to class
with some prior knowledge. I
also teach students about an
app called MyFitnessPal.
MyFitnessPal is an application
that allows students to
monitor their nutrition intake
as well as physical activities.
The app helps students with
achieving their lifelong goal.

With the older students, I like

to teach units of sports so that
students can learn and play.
One idea that I've begin using
was using the school issued
iPads and having students
take stills or record videos of
themselves practicing various
sport skills. Students are able
to watch the videos and
correct any movement errors
that they may have. Students
can also view their progress
after being able to practice
the skills.

I teach about 50
students per grade.
When planning a lesson,
I like to incorporate as
many teaching
strategies as I can to
ensure students meet
the learning objectives.
When teaching, I like to
CSTP 4: Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for All Students

be consistent and
connect each lesson
with the previous
lessons. For example,
when I teach the 7th
graders how to play
volleyball, I break down
the skills and teach
students how to
properly perform the
skills and also plan for
lead up activities. By the
end of the unit, students
should have a basic
grasp of volleyball

When giving instructions to the

students, I make sure to include
more than just verbal
instructions. If I’m teaching a
concept or skill, I may write
each critical element of the skill
on paper so that they can read
each step one by one. I will then
connect each of those steps with
a visual aid by modeling and
demonstrating what each
critical element looks like. For
example, when I’m teaching the
students on how to shoot a
basketball, I will teach them feet
shoulder width apart, knees
bent, elbow L to I, and then
follow through. I will
demonstrate in front of the class
and then have students practice
without a basketball so that they
can see and feel what they are
learning.

One thing that I've learned to

use in my PE classes are
choiceboards. Through CSUF's
FOTIP program, I have created
a basic choiceboard that
provides choices for students.
CSTP 4: Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for All Students

Element Emerging Exploring Applying Integrating Innovating

Each of the choices are
achieving the same learning
goal, but provides different
ways for students to show that
they've learned the objective.
I am planning on created
choice boards for physical
activities in class. For
example, when I want
students to warm up their
bodies properly, I will create a
choice board with various
exercises and stretches. Each
exercise and stretch covers
different components of
physical fitness. Choiceboards
allows me to use different
strategies that students are
comfortable with.
10/18

I believe that in order

for myself to plan
instructional strategies,
I must learn about my
students first. Learning
about student needs or
accommodations would
allow to find different
ways to teach that
would benefit the
students. Some
examples would be
having students
participate in modeling,
or having the students
practice different skills
without equipment.

9/25/17 re-teach or modify the physical

For example, if I’m teaching
students how to throw Frisbee, I
may have them work with a
partner, but if students aren’t
able to successfully throw and
catch a Frisbee to a partner, I
would have to re-teach and
focus mainly on the throwing
aspect. I could have students
lined up in a straight line and
give them their own individual
Frisbee and have students start
throwing when I give them the
cue. I could also modify the
activity to challenge them as
well. I can also use different
equipment if needed. For
example, when I’m teaching
hand-eye coordination using
badminton racquets, I can have
students first learn using big
paddle boards so that they may
learn with an instrument that
could achieve success.5/7/18

teacher that is beginning to

am extremely excited to

resources that I've learned to
use in the past 3 months, I
have now included different
resources to allow more
success. Tools such as
BrainPop and Edpuzzle. I use
BrainPop for students to
preview lessons before they
come to class. Students are
able to ask questions the next
day. Having students use
BrainPop, allows for them to
have more time to practice the
skills or engage in activities.
Using EdPuzzle, I am able to
monitor student learning and
make adjustments to my
instructions as well.
