That’s a novel idea. It makes sense as handles/SM names are new ways of connecting today.

AI can help for sure. One thought: rather than seeing/treating formative assessment as a thing (eg. exit tickets), let’s keep in mind that how assessment info is used determines if it’s formative or summative. Not the tool itself.

Not at all. I say to kids in class that choosing to play dodgeball outside of school is one thing, and many people love it. However, as a mandated activity for all to do in PE class is another. Kids want to play it intramural-cool. In class for all to do-no thanks

Challenges w #motivation in #PhysEd class?

Kids disengaged or going thru motions?

Here’s 1 key piece to ⬆️motivation: purpose.

Too often we don’t clarify why something is learned &/or done. W/out this kids lose interest, form a negative view of #PE & question the relevance.

Yup. They are great tools indeed. Are you using them to evaluate both learning achievement with specific learning standards and then also to determine an overall grade, or one to determine an overall grade only?

2 phrases to help shift perspectives

2 responses I use 2 help shift β€œ-β€œ &fixed mindsets in #PE class. I’ve even used on myself 2 get my mind focused on possibility.

Do u find Ss focus on what they can’t do or embody a fixed mindset?
Maybe ur own mind or POV is slipping to a fixed 1 or dreading something to do/teach in #PhysEd class.

Valid points, both of them. Now, they can unpack that and work it out (hopefully)

Great question. Are you searching for prof scales to evaluate particular learning standards or to form an overall grade for reporting purposes? They serve different purposes so just trying to clarify

That’s good to hear. Yes, the first step is essential and great you’re all focusing on that. Happy to share some ideas of prioritizing as well as ways to unpack. You can contact me at josh.ogilvie@outlook.com for more info (easier than on here)

Great to see/hear this. In addition to prioritizing the standards, have your teachers be shown ways to unpack them to clarify what they teach/students learn?
I have found that many miss that step and it can add lots of confusion to the teaching, learning, and assessment processes.

#Assessment & #grading in #PE often raise a lot of questions: What’s fair? What’s accurate? What reflects student learning?

A standards-based approach can provide clarity, but it’s not always clear how 2 make it work in #PhysEd.

What’s ur biggest ? or challenge for SBG in PE? Let’s talk about it!

Student #motivation in PE continues 2b a challenge for many #PhysEd Ts. While no approach works 4 all we can b mindful of conditions we create in our classes &how they impact one’s intrinsic motivation.

πŸ”‘pt: the more controlling r classes the ⬇️motivated kids will feel & rely on external stimulus ☹️
