High Speed Games that Promote Academic Rigor
Return to school with a set of high-speed games that will move your students and wow your administrators. This session will infuse the academic rigor concepts of backward design, academic language, and depth of knowledge into fun and vigorous games that students love.
We want students to move and sweat. We also know that we are teaching valuable skills and concepts. This session will help you talk and walk the language behind academic rigor so that your administration will see much more than sweaty and happy students.
We’ll start with backward design. All games in this session are learning activities in disguise. Student targets are standards and outcomes-based with formative assessments that will help guide your ongoing instruction.
Next, we’ll blend in the academic language of physical education in order to build students’ functional vocabularies both in and out of physical education.
Finally, we’ll demonstrate student growth using depth of knowledge tiered question stems. As blood flows to the brain, we’ll expand student thinking with meaningful discussion sessions and exit slips.
At the end of this session participants will:
1)Integrate academic rigor concepts in the physical education classroom.
2)Understand the importance of backward design in the planning process.
3)Be able to find free resources to help increase the rigorous nature of their physical education programs.
