My favorite professional development session from this summer focused on student engagement utilizing game theory. Games that I participated in during this seminar incorporated aspects of traditional games' skills and today's video games, (levels, point systems, etc.). This was accomplished with the addition of rainbow color-coded equipment such as light-weight balls and floor marker dots. I'd love to implement these ideas and acquire similar equipment to get my classes excited, quickly organized and MOVING, with activity that is relevant and fun for my middle schoolers! My goal is to create games that allow for a high percentage of our time to be moderate to vigorous activity while students practice and master strategic thinking along with technique and skills. Moving to this innovative approach will improve my students' engagement, excitement, confidence and cardiovascular fitness. This grant will help our entire school get excited and GET MOVING as they practice skills using a strategic, fun, team-oriented format.
