Challenges ahead – Professional Learning- Goal Setting
Meaningful PE has become an area of focus for me this year. I feel that as a more experienced PE teacher that I have an opportunity to now delve into thinking and creating learning intentions that are about offering students the chance to make Movement meaningful beyond doing for assessment or just for doing’s sake. I have been yo-yo-ing backward and forward around the idea of how to be more Meaningful in PE and how to make experiences in PE more meaningful. Recently a class of my MS students completed a Tripod 7C’s survey about me and their experiences in my PE class. I waited with anticipation for the results. I…

Sending those Thank You Notes I’ve been meaning to write…
Article Link “People like getting thank you notes.” writes Heather Murphy. I read this article in July and immediately put it out to twitter. We really should be letting people know that their contributions, however big or small, are valuable and that we appreciate them. I am a lover and coniscer of cards and note paper. I hoard them. I positively shake with excitement when I go into a card shop – and when let lose in Papyrus this summer, I came away with lots of cards in box packs ready to send out in the months of Aug and Sept to thank people all over the place. Why I…

Discovering Meaning in PE
This post is long overdue. I have taken a hiatus from writing and this has been both good (giving me time for other focus) and bad ( I have genuinely missed writing about my thinking about and recording my work in PE). This week I have been enjoying listening, reading and dialoguing about the Purpose of PE for me as a teacher but also in connection with student learning and the ultimate goal of every PE teacher – How do we make PE meaningful so that every student in our care wants to come back to our spaces and then in time wants to create their own meaningful movement journeys…

Core Values, Advocation, Professional Growth, Networks and Literacy. A call to action.
Sunset at Yaquina Head by Bureau of Land Management Oregon and Washington CC BY What do you stand for? How are you core values visible to your student/ department/ community? Are you delivering on the mandate of QPE? What makes you say that? This past weekend I was humbled to give one of the Keynotes at the Asia-Pacific PE conference in Hong Kong. This is the third annual conference hosted at HK International School and saw a lot of Educator’s from Asia, Australia and also now from the USA and UK in attendance. The last few months I have really been delving into who I am and what I stand…

Professional Development – Part 8 – Feedback and Reflection
Miyajima Torii by Pablo Fernandez CC BY NC SA I have been blogging this past year in stages about some Professional Development I have personally undertaken. This blog post explores the sharing from others in my PLN based on a series of videos taken of one of my classes and me asking for some feedback from others in the community. If you are just joining in, welcome, but you might like to go back to Part 7 here to find out some of the back story. This post is about the feedback from others and reflective growth moving forward from here. I was initially really excited for some conversation amongst…

Professional Learning – Part 6 – Putting myself on the line
ISB MS Professional Development – Peer Observation Task 2016-17 This year our MS Admin challenged us to invite a colleague to observe a lesson via video of our lesson and sharing. You can read the overview of this process above. As a new teacher in this school, this is a bit of a big ask. I have blogged a lot about my Professional Development work this year and you can go back and read up about Data and how I am trying to use this in my student learning. If you team teach then the opportunity to challenge each other and push and to share your observations is very powerful…

Professional Development – Part 7 – Notices /Wonderings
Mel Hamada in G8 Badminton Class at ISB This week I have been watching and thinking about my teaching practice. I have blogged about this a lot already but you can read the last blog post here that explains what I am currently doing. I will say that I was very nervous about what I would see watching these videos. I always find my voice the most interesting – do I really sound like that? But once my nervousness and feeling of worry were over, it was interesting to watch the lesson from the camera lens perspective, rather than from what I see while teaching. It was so powerful to…
