What Makes a Highly Effective Teacher?
More and more states including Colorado are initiating a teacher evaluation system that can seem like a puzzle.
However, putting the pieces together seems far less daunting when you work on it together. Each standard will be addressed and when you look closely at each piece, you realize how they are all interconnected; creating a big picture that represents a quality program, effective teaching practices and most importantly student growth and learning. This will be a fun movement based session that will incorporate easy to use technology, literacy, math, transitions and management activities that you can take home tomorrow and use.
Objective 1: Experience and reflect on components related to highly effective teaching.
Objective 2: Identify key elements of a highly effective Physical Education teacher.
