ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES

• 1) Equipment
• equipment will be brought out by teachers discretion
• students will be assigned to get the equipment (ex 1's go get equipment 2's find open space)
• old equipment will be brought back before new equipment is handed out
• equipment will be brought back in an orderly and organized fashion (no throwing balls in bin and hope they end up there)

• 2) Teaching Space
• utilize as much space possible as needed
• use grids every time when needed (helps for spacing of students)
• always have grids facing same way
• provide students with enough space as possible to perform effectively in a safe environment
• ALWAYS provide a safe environment
• always make sure students are in a close enough proximity where they are always able to hear the teacher
• use space effectively and efficiently

• 3) Support materials
• always take full advantage of the materials that are available
• always use a grid when needed (helps for organization & gives students boundaries)
• always take full advantage of using demo's when needed preferably using a variety of students when possible

• 4) Demonstrations
• when bringing students in always have them form a semi-circle around you
• if possible have students facing the bleachers so there is no temptation for distraction
• when possible use student to perform demo providing they are able to perform the demo clear enough that shows your objectives

 
• 5) Assessment
• Assessing the outcome (territory - net/wall - field - or target games)
• Principles of play ( Game involvement, 4 R's)
• Tactical Awareness (Movement off-the-ball, Skill selection, Skill execution)
• Improvement of game performance
• How the student develops their own criteria for what constitutes effective performance (Griffin,Mitchell,Oslin-224)
• Have students assess teachers performance when not participating, in order to keep them involved in the class (Hopper)
• assessment should take into consideration enjoyment, interest, and competence level (did the students have fun, are they interested in learning more about the game, and do they show competence in that particular game/sport)
