1) Equipment:
· Must be out of reach of students and contained
with in a barrier such as a hoola hoop.
· Must be an adequate amount for class size
( ex. ideally enough for one ball per student)
· Safety is the most important issue regarding
equipment. Make sure that equipment is regularly maintained and checked
for faults and is kept out of view of students when not part of the lesson.
· Strict guidelines must be in place regarding
when students get out equipment and how to do so properly.
2) Teaching Space:
· Teachers should best use all of the working
space available.
· It is very important to use space when appropriate.
When giving crucial rules or tactics it may be wise to have students in
close proximity to the teacher
· Have the students facing away from distractions,
take them away from loud or noisy areas
· Have a defined area where students meet for
the beginning of the lesson
3) Support Materials:
· Task Cards: These can be cues for specifics
skills or pictures of the proper progressions for a skill. Task cards can
be a quick and useful reference for students to use.
· Posters: Posters can be used in a very similar
manner as the task cards. It can be a project for students to create and
then use in PE classes.
· Videos: Videos can be one of the most beneficial
teaching tools for teachers today. When I student can see visually, themselves
performing a skill they are to see exactly what they are doing correctly
and what they need to work on. There is no way that a student can
deny what they are doing correctly and incorrectly within a skill.
· Adaptive Equipment: Using various types of
adaptive equipment for persons with disabilities will help to enhance the
learning experience for all learners. Things such as a brightly colored
volleyball for a student who may be visually impaired will allow this student
to enjoy and learn volley just as much as the rest of the class.
