LAB C Hantis

 

 

 

Teaching in Lab C with my group was a lot of fun and we all did very well and made many improvements from Lab B. However, we were not the only group to do well, I think everyone was well prepared and taught their activities at a high level.

 

C9 Form TA C-9

From Lab B to Lab C, I made some good improvements with my overall delivery of my lesson. I gained a few more strengths including maximum participation and safety awareness. I am especially happy with my safety awareness strength because in Lab B when I taught the forward roll I could have made a bigger emphasis on tucking the chin. While in Lab C, I made sure the students knew what I wanted them to do during class in order to keep the environment safe. Another good improvement from Lab B was my hook. I think my hook in Lab C really drew the attention from my students when I mentioned that Hantis was created by high school students. When comparing my TA's C9 form to the one I did myself, there are not many differences. One would be that I did not exactly state my name in my introduction and I failed to mention what my signal for attention actually was although the students were aware that it was my voice. Like in Lab B, I gave good congruent feedback to most of the students in the class but I can deffinetly do better for Lab D. After watching myself teach, I noticed that I only said "guys" two or three times throughout the lesson which is great compared to the previous times I have taught. Although I made good improvements since Lab B, I still have work to do in creating more strengths such as giving more individual specific feedback and try to get myself to not say "guys" at all.

 

Time Analysis  TA Time Analysis

One of the most important things that I wanted myself to achieve in Lab C was to have activity for more than half of the class. I was successful with 52% of my lesson being activity, which is a great improvement from 41% in Lab B. Reaching that goal ment that I had to spend less time with management which was important since more than half of my lesson in Lab B was spent on management. That was my best improvement between the two labs since I improved from a 56% to only 13% in management. The only time coding that I missed was the instruction time. The goal was to get less than 30% and I went over slightly using 33% of my time instructing. There is always something that you can improve on. As I did my own time analysis form, I ended up with the exact same activity time and only getting a difference of a few percent in management and instruction. So the time analysis of my lesson is very valid and reliable. Like in Lab B, I am happy with my waiting time being zero percent so every student is participating throughout the class.

 

C-11

After going over my video, I think I did a fairly good job giving feedback and using the students names when I was talking to them. However, most of my feedback was not specific and just positive such as saying "Good, job." I could have done a better job walking around to the entire class instead of staying on one side of the gym and giving feedback across the class. Using names was one of my strengths teaching the lesson because I was able to get the student's attention right away when I had something to say. There were a few times when I had to use a student's name dealing with behavior or setting up partners before an activity. With each of the activities that I taught only one or two students had some challenges performing the skill. However, they were capable of going through the cues and perform at a higher level than before. From Lab C to Lab D, one major improvement that I want to make is to give more specific feedback to nearly every student if possible. I only gave good specific feedback five times to an individual student which could be better.

 

Goals

I have some specific goals that I would like to reach for Lab D including giving more individual specific feedback, spend even more time with activities, and gain more strengths in my delivery. I am very happy with my performance in Lab C but I know that I can make these improvements and better my teaching even more.

 

The challenge of Lab C was a lot of fun and as a group being successful was a great achievement for us. As a class, we all did well and made great strides from Lab B and being a student in the other lessons was very fun because I was able to learn new sports and activities.
