MS PE Instructional Guide

DWSBA for Physical Education For the administration of the DWBSA in Physical Education, a bank of questions connected with standards has been created for individual sports and activities taught in the middle schools. Teachers will administer those questions for the sports and activities which pertain to their school. There are multiple options to administer the DWBSA, including the following: ● A pre-assessment and post-assessment at the beginning and ending of the course ● An assessment using DWBSA questions at the end of each unit/sport ● A mid-course/end of quarter assessment covering the frst units/sports taught and an end of course/end of semester assessment covering the last units/sports taught ● A pre-assessment, mid-course assessment, and post-assessment

As such, DWBSA window dates will be determined at the building level.

Physical Education Best Practices

What Teachers Do

What Students Do

Skill

Teachers activate prior knowledge to determine misconceptions prior to teaching new content. Helping students uncover their misconceptions and then compare their misconceptions with new learning forces students to address their misconceptions.

Students will compare their beginning knowledge on a topic to their new knowledge, and will be able to discuss/ write how their knowledge on the subject changed over time. Students move their bodies, participating in activities, cooperating with others in class. Students interact cooperatively and positively with each other. Students follow routines and procedures set up by their PE teacher.

Combat Misconceptions

Teachers structure opportunities for ALL students to be actively engaged.

Achieve Engagement

Teachers have frequent positive interactions with students: high fves, thumbs up, “nice catch”, “great job - but remember to dribble waist high.” Teacher has established routines and procedures. • Sets up equipment before class or at the beginning of the day

Create Positive Environment

Effcient Transitions

• Sets up an activity for students to engage in as they are assembling, e.g. stretching/warm up • Attendance is taken as the class is participating. • Has pre-taught signal to bring students back together (e.g. a whistle)

Teacher actively supervises students by being positioned to see all students and by circulating throughout the space. Teacher delivers clear explicit instructions for skills prior to releasing students into that activity. An “I do”, “we do”, “ya’ll do” format is frequently a good choice for effciency and effectiveness in a PE classroom

Students have defned boundaries for activities.

Active Supervision Clear Instructions

Students understand what they are supposed to bedoing and why they are doing it.
