My PSI placement has definitely taught me numerous valuable lessons. I believe that I have started the process of becoming comfortable and confident with my teaching skills. However, there is still much work to be done until I can say that I've reached the competencies of becoming a certified teacher.
Because my PSII placement will focus primarily on my Physical Education (PE) Major, my goal moving forward will focus on areas that could enhance the student experience in the gymnasium. I know from personal experience, as well as through talking with other PE teachers, that there are many students who have had a bad experience in gym class. It is my goal to find a way to motivate as many students as possible to find the value and enjoyment in physical activity and living a healthy active lifestyle. I do understand, however, that my desire for students to find success and passion related to physical activity will not be enough. I would like to strive to help students find their intrinsic motivation to want to come to my class and want to live a healthier lifestyle.
