What’s My Job? Professional Growth and Accountability
The role of the physical education teacher is being examined like never before. Teacher assessment rubrics and accountability measures that are designed for classroom-based instruction are being forced into the physical education environment. In this session will explore and discuss what in which physical education professionals can define their own destiny while speaking the same language as district administrators.
This session provides guidance to physical education teachers with respect to current trends and requirements for professional growth and accountability.
The first critical concept explored is teacher reflection. We’ll discuss two types of teacher reflection, how reflections shapes practice, and how to improve reflection practices for personal and professional growth.
Next we’ll explore a common framework for teaching evaluation (Danielson), how it relates directly to physical education, and how teachers can embrace 4 domains of teaching in order to plan for and experience accelerated professional growth, while mastering accountability measures put in place by their school systems.
Participants in this session will:
1)Experience and understand the importance of reflection as a part of a holistic professional growth plan
2)Examine evaluation frameworks and how these tools relate to physical education
3)Examine four domains of teaching: 1) Planning & Preparation; 2) Classroom Environment; 3) Instructional Practices; 4) Professional Responsibilities
Friday 2:45 - 3:45 pm
