I plan to maintain a close relationship with all of my players and students. By doing this I feel that my students and players will respect me more and work harder for me. I also plan to use the Nintendo Wii and the Xbox Kinect in my classroom because I feel my students will be happily engaged with them and will be able to carry the skills theyve learned to use outside of my classroom. ast! I must first get certified to teach archery in the schools but I plan to use archery so that my students may use it outside of my classroom.
