As part of PED 321: Movement Education, two classmates and I created this virtual classroom designed specifically for a student we worked with throughout the semester. Our goal was to provide a structured, accessible resource to keep the student active and engaged in physical activity over summer break. With clear instructions and engaging content, the classroom offers both the student and their parents the tools to support continued skill development and an active lifestyle outside of the school year. This experience gave me valuable insight into how physical education can positively influence students beyond the classroom, reinforcing my commitment to promoting lifelong movement and well-being in both school and everyday life.
These photos show myself teaching a class how to create a personalized workout plan in the weight room. As part of this lesson, I developed a worksheet to guide students through the process of setting individual fitness goals and creating a plan tailored to their needs and interests. The worksheet included prompts for students to reflect on their current fitness level, identify specific and realistic goals, and map out a weekly workout schedule. I also incorporated space for them to track progress and adjust their plans as needed.
These videos and photos showcase my teaching of open and flip turns, a lesson I taught in my Water Safety Instructor (WSI) class. I taught a beginner aquatic class throughout the semester, introducing students to various strokes and gradually building their confidence in the water.
These pictures are from my lecture about the 4 + 1 Health Education Masters program that I gave to the Alliance of Physical Education Majors Club members. Informing students about possible programs that they can pursue after earning their undergraduate degree helps them explore additional certifications, expand their teaching qualifications, and discover new career opportunities within the field of physical and health education.
These pictures are from a lesson I taught during my research at Whitney Point. I used a 3-hole golf lesson to teach the concept of teamwork. In this lesson, I taught them how to communicate with each other to decide which club to use at each point of the hole. The team played an alternate shot format, which helped them work together as a team to achieve the best score.
