Teacher Performance Objectives – During the lesson the teacher will:

- Provide feedback (positive and corrective) throughout the lesson to students
- Make the activities at a level that all the students are comfortable to engage in and get to
practice

Special Considerations – What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the students
in this class?
- There are objects around the perimeter of the classroom, so if equipment gets stuck, the
students will give space for the equipment to get out and get back into play
