Teaching Philosophy

Creedence Cameron

Fall 2022

Students that I will be teaching should be learning the skills that are necessary to progress

in their physical education career. Having a solid foundation in anything is important if you want

to go up. Thinking of this curriculum as a house. We need to lay a foundation if we want the

house to continue to stand tall 40 years in the future.

Goals will be tracked with folders for each student. There will be goals written out for

each unit/lesson and their goals/my goal should be to exceed their expectations in physical

education. The content I will teach will in one way or another connect to a specific

goal(psychomotor, cognitive, and affective).

Assessment will take place throughout a unit, informally, as well as at the end of a unit in

a more formal manner. I will be looking for more than if a student can perform skills correctly. I

will be looking at how a student creates a goal, the steps they take to reach that goal and how

they portray themselves at the end of the unit if they reach that goal or don’t reach that goal. I

will also take a look at if they lift up or put down classmates that may or may not reach their

goals as well. All three domains will be met in assessing goals each unit.

In my classroom, safety is the number one priority. Safe fun is the best kind of fun for

everyone. There will be posters posted throughout the space with safety reminders that are left up

for the entire year. My students individualities will be thought about when planning and
preparing lessons. Safety of equipment, equipment sizes, and any other

accommodations/modifications that will need to be made will be. A small adjustment to lessons

will help ensure that all of my students feel included in every lesson I teach.

As a physical educator, it is my duty to educate each student in my classes in more ways

than one to ensure that everyone I teach feels included and can receive a quality education and

continue to be physically active in whatever aspect they choose throughout their lifetimes.
