ADA Accommodations: any student requiring accommodations for this course should identify themselves

to the professor at the beginning of the semester so that reasonable accommodations may be made.

Attendance Policy: Punctual attendance is expected for all class sessions. You have 2 unexcused absences after which you forfeit 3% of your grade per additional absence. You will not be able to make up any work missed during an unexcused absence. You will be able to make up work missed during an excused absence provided that you (1) have a verifiable emergency requiring your absence (verified by a physician, mechanic, etc.). (2) contact Dr. Sherblom that same day, before noon, by telephone, e-mail, or in person and make arrangements then to complete any missed work before the next class session. If you’ll be out for an extended period of time, follow these same procedures to arrange to make up work that will be missed. You are responsible for information announced in class if you are absent.

Proper dress for gymnasium activities is required for safety reasons. Sneakers, socks, wind suit, and tailored t-shirts or golf/polo shirt are acceptable. No bare feet, jeans, dress pants, dress shirts, t-shirts advertising anything, tattoos or body piercing other than small ear rings for females. Inappropriate dress will count as an unexcused absence. Gymnasium activities, peer teaching, observations and guided teaching require proper dress and appearance. These days are indicated on the course schedule, or are scheduled by you.

Assignment Descriptions: Forms for assignments will be posted on the course web page. Print and bring them to class as needed. I suggest that you print them ahead of time, so that computer problems do not cost you course credit. If you get into a bind the day that you need a form, come by my office prior to class and if there is time, I will print one for you. If you expect to have reoccurring problems retrieving the forms, bring a PC formatted diskette during office hours.

Section Tests (320 points) The text is organized into 5 parts. We will address 4. There are 6 (60 pts) chapters on Content in Physical Education, 9 (90 pts) chapters on Teaching Skills, 3 (30 pts) chapters on Movements Concepts, and 13 (140 pts) chapters on Skill Theme Development. These 13 chapters will be split into two testing sections: ch 19-24 (70 pts) and ch 25-31 (70 pts). The final 2 chapters are on The Future. Testing on these chapters will be 20 points extra credit. Each chapter has a study guide on the course web page for you to use as you read the chapter. These are designed to help you increase your retention of the information and prepare for the test. These will not be covered in class, but during office hours upon request. Tests points range from 30 to 90 according to number of chapters involved.

Mini Lesson Plan (20 points). Details on the web page.

Jump Rope for Heart Activity (40 points) Friday, February 14 is the National Jump Rope For Heart Event. You will attend Quanah Parker Elementary School in Midland during the school day to assist the teacher in conducting this event in order to learn how to conduct it in your own elementary physical education classroom. Submit a report on it.

Observe/interview/report assignments (15 points each). We will observe a class together, complete a practice form, and discuss it. You are then to complete observations of 4 elementary PE classes at 2-5 different schools, outside of class. No more than 2 of these may be performed at a single school. Preferred schools are Blanton and Milan Elementary in Odessa, and Rusk in Midland. All are due March 17^th, after Spring Break so that you may make observations in school districts still in session. Always check in at the school office upon entering the school. Dress professionally. Take your observation form with you. Complete it during your observation, ask the teacher any questions you have about what you observed, and get the teacher’s signature on the form before you leave. Each time that you enter the building, sign in at the main office and get a visitor pass.

Lesson plans: (25 points each): You will have 2 opportunities to show a 15 minute, 3-activity progression of activities on a chapter topic, to your peers. The day prior to your presentation show your plan to Dr. Sherblom for feedback, and arrange for equipment with Mr. Rob Rankin or Dr. Sherblom. If possible we will videotape you in these sessions.

Guided teaching: (5 @ 20 pts each) Outside of class, you are to make appointments with Ms. Dahrl McCain, at Blanton, Ms. Cyndi Fisher at Milan, Mrs. Sharon Morgan at Rusk other approved teachers, in order to complete your guided teaching and reflection assignments. Ask what the teacher is teaching on a given day to a grade level of your choice. Observe the explanation and demonstration, and then work under her guidance and direction with a small group of students to re-teach or provide feedback for an activity at the same time that the teacher is doing this. You are not to be alone in a class, or teaching the whole class. When you are finished with the class period, get the teacher’s signature and complete the form. Each time that you enter the building, sign in at the main office and get a visitor pass.

End-of-semester self-reflection (10 points) This is due in the in-box of my e-mail program by on the last class day. In it you will address what you learned through your teaching experiences, your observations in the field, and your observations of your peers’ teaching. Format is on the web page. It is due electronically.

Final project (200 points): Begin this project January 31. To receive feedback, and have time to rewrite and resubmit this project, your draft is due by April 18. This is a major project. Details on the web page.

Comprehensive Final Exam (200 points) This will address important points from the course. A study guide will be posted.
