I believe that every child is unique and will learn in many different ways, but it starts with the
foundation. Understanding a child’s learning style creates a better experience for the child
throughout their learning and development stages. As an educator, I believe that it is my duty to
cater to every child’s learning style and provide them with the best learning environment
possible. It is important that children receive all the knowledge available to them, they are our
future. I am adamant on becoming an educator because this is my way of wanting to give back to
the community.
Health and Physical Education is just as important as any other curriculum offered to students. I
believe that promoting physical fitness for grades 9th-12th help students’ self-esteem and curve
their desires of unhealthy habits. Physical education has a great contribution to physical
competence that will help students maintain positive physical lifestyle choices throughout
adulthood.
Furthermore, I value diversity, and strive to partner with families and the community. The goal is
to provide a healthy environment so that students connect with me. I believe students learn the
best way when they can relate the learning material to life experiences. My enthusiasm and the
way I connect with students is something that will influence the students to want to learn and
engage in learning as they mature throughout high school.
My role as a teacher is to do what is in the best interest of the students. It is important that I
understand the students learning style and build a connection to make learning relevant, and
accommodate diverse learners. My philosophy of education roots from my strong passion, care,
and dedication to contributing to students being successful in all aspects of their lives.

The content I choose for my units were chosen to fit the environment of Baldwin County and choose
sports that are relatable to their everyday lives. Choosing sports like flag football, soccer, basketball, and
softball are sports that these children participate in regularly and are very familiar with the rules of the
game. When choosing activities for my units; I wanted to be sure that it was lessons that could be
gradually built upon as students move to the next grade and are realistic to their everyday lives to help
gain active participation and understanding in the lessons. State standards also set guidelines in my
decision process when choosing how to apply psychomotor, cognitive, or affective skills.
Vertical articulation focuses on progression of complexity of each unit between grade levels. In other
words, what sports and activities can I build on and increase complexity between each grade level.
Content units build upon each other within a grade from what is most important to students and the
fundamental skills that the students are capable of achieving. When choosing units for my annual block
plan I had to consider the time of the year and students preferences. For example my annual block plan
starts with outside activities like flag football, dodgeball, or soccer. These students either participate in
these sports on a regular basis or are very familiar with the sport because it has been in their everyday
lives. I would then create task that are modified versions of the actual game to decrease complexity for
lower grade levels and each year increase complexity until authentic game play is reached.
Horizontal articulation focuses on building content within a grade level. I choose a variety of content
that consist of individual and collaborative activities that differentiate between dance, net games, target
games, and aesthetic activities. My units will vary from physical activities like basketball and track and
field to aesthetic activities like yoga and martial arts. This approach seems he most appropriate for this
population because I am incorporating lessons that these students love to participate in but also
introducing them to activities they may not have any knowledge about. Now my students are eager to
participate and interested in learning new activities because of the positive reinforcement and positive
environment enforced in the class.
Content units must be relatable and most appropriate to the population but also comply with their
preferences. This increases active participation and academic success. To go into detail one of the units I
choose is dance because location and culture matter. Most students love to dance whether it be alone
or with family and friends. In this unit I can introduce different cultures music and dance to teach
children of accepting different cultures and simultaneously create that positive environment where
students feel comfortable with dancing around peers or engaging in physical activity. Moreover, I also
took into consideration that some students participate more in individual sports than group activities as
a way to target the needs of all students.

Flag football is a great way for students to learn sportsmanship, build self-esteem,
improve fundamental motor skills, and have fun. My five day lesson plan on flag football stems
from wanting a lesson that pushes all students to be physical active and enjoy participating. The
lessons also follow national and state standards in the way they enforce team effort,
sportsmanship, and effort to successfully understand and complete each task at hand. The fun
experience associated with flag football makes students prone to participating in physical
activities or sports increasing the chance of students choosing heathier lifestyle choices.
Students living in Baldwin County are susceptible to chronic diseases, obesity, or
malnutrition because of the under resourced community they live in. This under resourced
community has a tremendous effect on the youth population pertaining to: food served in school
and from home, higher educational opportunities, and healthcare access .As a physical health
educator, I feel that it is important to share any knowledge that can help a student reach
excellence academically, emotionally, and/or physically. A great majority of the students in
Baldwin County do not live in households that encourage them to be physically active or eat
healthy foods but national and state standards are flexible in giving me leeway to choose how to
apply all objectives whether they be affective, psychomotor, or cognitive.
I choose flag football for my lesson because many students in Baldwin County enjoy
football with their friends and family and are familiar with the rules of the game. I wanted a
lesson that was easy to understand but also relatable to these students everyday lives. I felt that
flag football could get boys and girls interested in finding extracurricular activities that are fun
and beneficial to their overall health and wellness instead of participating in activities that can
cause trouble and harm to themselves or others. In addition, my lessons are age appropriate and
have space for modifications needed for any student experiencing difficulties or needing a
challenge. I choose lessons that can improve the children’s skills cognitively, physically, and
affectivity. The students have the opportunity to learn how different exercises or drills can help
them become physically fit while simultaneously educating and promoting sportsmanship and
the importance of showing respect and to others and how team effort is important for success.
My long term goal is for students to have built strong relationships and rapport with each
other and myself. I want students to love participating in physical activities and make better
choices for their overall health and wellness. My teaching environment creates a positive space
for error and constructive criticism and builds autonomy that these students need to become
independent and responsible adults of society. I choose flag football to break those family
traditions of unhealthy eating habits and laziness and persuade students to make better decisions
and gain responsibility for all actions and choices.

Baldwin County High school is the only high school in Milledgeville that serves over
1,000 students from grades 9-12. Although Baldwin County is predominantly Black, there is a
great mixture of diverse ethnic groups throughout each grade level. These students are not just
different because of their ethnicities, they are of different socioeconomic class and culture. The
diversity of students gives space for creativity when creating lessons. As a physical educator in
such a diverse community I used SMART goals to decipher which sports and physical activities
are best fit for my students.
We are all familiar with SMART goals. So we know that are goals should be specific,
measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. When planning lessons I choose sports and activities
that are specific to many cultures and tied in that connection to show appreciation from that
culture. This route helps students be able to relate and become interested in participating in the
task. In addition, I choose lessons that also have room for modifications to fit the needs of each
grade level and each students. For example, most students love basketball and are very familiar
with the game. My lessons on basketball start at the beginner level for 9th graders and I will
gradually add complexity to the game and skills for each grade. This lesson and many others has
modifications set for students in the case of needing to add complexity or decrease the level of
complexity.
Furthermore, to show appreciation to other cultures I incorporated sports that students
enjoy and are familiar with but is also not of American decent. In this case, the game of soccer is
a perfect example. Many students are familiar with the rules of the game and have even played.
My lesson is teaching students to show appreciation to sports of different cultures creating a
positive stigma towards the sport and physical activity. Soccer is also a sport that requires a lot of
team effort. This lesson gives my students the opportunity to build relationships and understand
the importance of showing good sportsmanship.
Inclusion and accommodations are essential so that each student has an equal opportunity
at retaining the information and actively participating. Not only does Dance show appreciation to
cultures it also has great space for modifications for student’s experiencing difficulty. Dancing is
a great way for the disabled, special education classes, and even children with obesity to become
physically active potentially leading to an increase in these students physical fitness. This also
gives me a chance to stress the importance of self-respect and peer respect. My classroom will
enforce a zero tolerance towards bullying and only encourage positive attitudes.
All in all, the lessons I chose show diversity by culture inclusion, modifications for
complexity, and can be applicable to all classes. When deciding on lessons I felt that it was
important to consider state and national standards and was to help my students grow affectively,
cognitively, and physically. As a physical educator my goal is to help my students grow
physically and mentally. To be able to understand the importance of physical fitness and mental
health. So that as they transition into young adults these lessons are already instilled within them.

Lesson plans are essential for teaching and keeping an organized and scheduled class.
Lesson plans help teachers plan what activities and information they want to teach their students.
Planning helps teachers outline how objectives will be met and what appropriate state and
national standards correlate. Planning helps we teachers organize out thoughts so that we do not
forget key elements.
Lesson plans are used to track lesson task progression. As a teacher I am able to follow
my lesson plan to avoid disorganization and keep me on topic so that my teaching is beneficial
for students. Lesson planning gives teachers the opportunity to predict any obstacles that may
come and create modifications to task that will either increase complexity to challenge students
or decrease complexity to make sure no child is left behind. For example, my lesson for flag
football entails a day of agility drills to increase student’s stamina and endurance when
performing. If a student was not able to complete the agility drill I then can look over my lesson
plan and follow the task modifications to help this students achieve. Without a thought out lesson
plan students are prone to fail the task essentially not meeting state or national standards.
Daily objectives should be planned in an order that will increase complexity and
knowledge of a task until the end of the unit objective. Task should start at the appropriate level
that the students ability and have room for progression each day. Unit objectives help
differentiate what task are appropriate for the unit and what task is needed to increase students
understanding to pass assessments at the end of units. Unit’s objectives are used for teachers to
have structure, sequence, and learning goals typically for the purpose of moving students
towards the achievement of long term educational goals including performing well on
assessments and standardized test.
Furthermore, learning objectives are important for proficiency-based learning which
refers to instruction, assessment, and grading for each unit. I incorporated assessments into my
lesson planning that gives me the ability to test student’s psychomotor abilities, cognitive
abilities, and affective skills. For example, my first assessment could focus on student’s
psychomotor skills and their ability to perform a forward pass. I could then assess student’s
cognitive skills and how they are thinking and planning to perform a forward pass accurately.
Lastly, I would assess their affective skills in relation to their behaviors and attitudes and have
them rite journals for reflection.
Lesson plans are essential for my teaching in health and physical education. They help
me plan, teach and assess my students to determine if they have met state and national standards.
Assessments are a key component to teaching because it helps me follow students learning
capabilities and determine whether or not students are understanding course material.
