Oak Bay 2 week practicum

Although I already briefly told the class about my issues at Oak Bay (students thinking I was a Grade 12 girl, girls discussing Srgt. Sexy, etc.), there is one unit that I helped to teach that I found really effective. For the track and field unit, all of the PE classes each block would head out to the track, where they were numbered off and put in groups with members of other classes. Each teacher was responsible for one station for the week, and the groups would rotate each day to different events. I personally had to do high jump. I would consider track and field to be one of my weakest units I will have to teach, so for me it was very helpful to only have to master one event, rather than learning them all to teach to students. This way of teaching greatly benefits teachers, as only one lesson plan was needed for each week. The students also seemed to enjoy it, as they got a chance to be taught by several different teachers and interact with other students.
