In this picture I am standing waiting for the students to stand up because they had just attempted to perform the back rocker, which is a gymnastics skill.The woman standing is a college student who helped me teach.
I published this post in the teaching for learning category because I am the one doing the teaching. The kids listen to the instructions and they learn by attempting to perform the task. If they perform the task incorrectly, then I give them positive feedback by telling them what they did right first and what they did wrong after that.
This helped me to develop as a teacher because it gave me the opportunity to speak up in front of a class of 5th graders. I placed mats so that students would land on a soft area. The skills they were attempting to perform at that time required proper neck position. As a teacher, I want safety for the students. This activity helped me to develop as a teacher because I learned that on the next lesson plan I should move the mats farther away from the black wall that separated that class with another class which was noisy. The noisy class interfered with my teaching because some students did not hear clearly.
