PS III Professional Goals

Goal #1 Continued improvement on classroom management skills

Rationale: Classroom management in physical education is absolutely crucial in
order to ensure safety and also to promote a positive learning environment.
Classroom management will also be very important in high school classes to ensure
high engagement and productive learners.
Strategies: Set up solid classroom procedures, policies, and routines so students
have a clear perception of what is expected out of them. It is equally important to
establish solid relationships with the students and emphasize the importance of
mutual respect. Smooth transitions will also be crucial for effective classroom
management. In addition to these I plan to have my teacher mentor come and
observe me and give me feedback.
Indicators of Achievement: Fewer behavior issues, high student achievement,
involvement, and engagement.
Timeline: September 2nd- December 19th (checkpoints with teacher mentor and
administrator)
Goal #2 Get involved in extracurricular activities
Rationale: Further my professional development by getting the full physical
education teacher experience by coaching and getting involved with
sporting/extracurricular activities.
Strategies: Look for opportunities around the school and talk to the athletic
director about possible coaching or extra curricular positions.

team, intramurals, or involved in score keeping, clothing etc.

Butte High School.

respect, and be able to relate the content to the students personal interests.
Strategies: Talk with students inside and outside of the classroom, interact with the
staff and ask to observe some of their classes, go to extracurricular activities that
students are involved in.
Indicators of Achievement: Students dont hesitate to come and talk to me about
an issue, classroom environment is highly interactive, mutual respect between
