Eleanor and Starr- Self Reflective Learning

This is about teaching students how to go from dependent to independent.  To shift students toward independence, we need to avoid forcing our own way of doing teaching.  Students are trained to set goals in this model.  Part of this model is to know yourself as a learner.  This means that we need to get students in touch with their type of intelligence.  (Think of Multiple Intelligences). We must plan ahead to teach students that there are multiple intelligences, and to teach them how to set goals.  Give them many ways to reflect their learning.  Giving more choice to students is better. 
 "Weiner tag"- There is one tagger, and if he or she catches someone, the person who got caught must lay down and proudly announce "I am a weiner and I need two buns."  When to people who have not been caught lay down on either side of that person, then she or he is freed.
Joy- Sportfolios in Physical Education

Assessment- the act of making a judgement about something.
Sportfolios are student-centered and
self-managed. You could have a process- which shows their growth in some way, or product portfolio. I think this is a great way to ensure that our students form an appreciation for fitness.
      The portfolios could have sections according to student outcomes, such as IEP goals, Essential Skills, Thinking Skills, Social Skills, Emotional Intelligence, and Goal Planning

 "I am a knife, fork, spoon, spatula" Singing activity
         For students who like rules...they may like to create a game, and the student gets to make the rules. This is a more engaging way to teach it.  Students can be given self reflection rubrics or checklists.  This presentation fit perfectly with Starr and Eleanor's presentation.

Jeanette and Jasmine: Task Analysis

     The skills are being broken down, so that there is not a pass fail system.. Rubrics help, but they don't necessarily tell us what we need to do next to serve the students better. With task analysis, it can be used for everyone, but you may only activities that work on very small tasks at a time.
Sun Salutations was a yoga pose. They used a polar bear to show Inuit students yoga poses.

Dave- PEBS; Positive Effective Behaviour Support

Defining- Means defining the priority of the concern
Teaching- Consequences or Effect- Giving a type of consequence to the student and then reflect on how well they worked.
An Independence Board is a board with envelopes on it and there would be a name on each card, and then you would use the board to let students out of the room, etc. This is to promote Inclusive Physical Education
