My Students

Our Physical Education department serves students ages 5th through 8th at the Middle School level. The work of establishing and maintaining consistently high student outcomes is complex and substantially data driven. But pedagogical, legal, logistical, and financial complexities aside, the goal of our enterprise is simply focused on providing students with rigorous curriculum and many opportunities to grow and prepare for their futures. As educators, we study and implement the best instructional techniques possible to foster learning and regularly engage in thoughtful analysis of student assessment data to improve student growth. Our students come prepared and ready to engage in purposeful activity. It is our job as educators to lead and guide these students through a successful journey of education!

My Project

I commonly use a 5-point scale to assess skills in PE. It is quick, it is efficient, it is easy. I am aware of what movements and actions are necessary to complete a specific skill, those skill cues have been taught to the students, they are posted in the gym, and I can easily assign a numerical value to a students skill. But there is a problem: is this method accurate? Most of the time, yes. Does it offer details a student could use to improve? Most of the time, no. If a student asked why they got a 3 out of 5 on a specific skill could I tell them why? Yes, directly afterwards, but two days later when I've seen over 300 students that I teach? Probably not. The iPad will change this for me.

I can use customized specific touch based rubrics to assess PE skills.

These are criterion-based. I can put all of the skill cues down that the students learned during classes and have been posted in the gym. I can then check all of those specifc movements and actions off as they demonstrate a skill to me. Now, they have a concrete explanation of why they scored what they did and can use that information to improve.

Our Physical education budget has been drastically cut in the past year. Please help me to get my students the supplies we need for a successful Health & P.E. program!
