Managerial Routines and Organizational Time Savers

 

Attendance:

      Attendance will be taken at the beginning of every class.

      If a student arrives late, it is their responsibility to sign in with the teacher after class.

 

Distribution and collection of materials:

      The teacher will have all of the equipment prepared prior to class time.

      All balls will be placed inside hula-hoops to prevent them from rolling around on floor.

      Students will pick up safety goggles as they come out of change rooms prior to class.

      Students must return safety goggles as they enter the change rooms at the end of class.

      All of the racquets/paddles will be available upon the teacher’s consent.

 

Bathroom privileges:

      Due to limited class time, students are required to use the washroom before or after class.

      If it is an emergency, students must ask the teachers permission and return promptly.

 

Dismissal:

      Students must wait for the teacher’s dismissal before going to get changed.

      All equipment must be placed back into their appropriate spots before dismissal.

 

Appropriate gym strip:

      All students must have appropriate gym strip before participating.

      Appropriate gym strip includes: shorts/sweat pants, t-shirt/sweat shirt, and proper footwear.

      It is the teacher’s discretion, which generally depends on the activity, whether a student can participate with only appropriate footwear.

      Those students without strip will be assigned an in class project such as peer assessment or teacher time-on-task assessment.

 

Speaking in class:

      All students must raise their hand before answering a question produced by the teacher during class discussions.

      All squash balls must be held during class discussion.

      All students must respect one another and not talk while others are speaking.

      During most of the activities communication will be strongly encouraged, especially when using certain teaching styles.

      When the teacher yells "stop", blows a whistle, or yells "everyone in", students must hustle in to the teacher.

 

Breaking into small group activities:

      When breaking into groups, the students will number themselves and each number will have an outlined duty such as finding an area within the gym or collecting equipment.

 

Teaching space:

      Stand in front of all students, not in the middle of the group.

      Have the students face away from any distractions.

      Make use of gym space (i.e. create squash courts by placing tape on the walls and by placing cones on the ground).
