Class Overview

Teaching Pick and Roll through my progressional TGfU method to my professional peers demonstrated certain strengths and weaknesses that need further exploration. Although the TGfU steps laid out were to be followed in order for students to both understand why the pick and roll was to be used, then how to do it, certain issues arose in relation to the necessity of each game within the instructional process. 

Worked

- Class understanding of why pick and roll was necessary

- Class understanding of when pick and roll could be used

- Participation that learned through a playful and competitive manner

 

Needs improvment

- Asking more "prompting" questions to uncover learning

- Using students as demonstrators

- Using professional language that promotes gender equality ("person vs. person" not "man vs. man")

Further alterations

- Using "endball" as a warm-up drill, will teach the necessity for space within territory/ invasion games, and as such will create the "why" for learning pick and roll. 

- Using student "broadcaster" roles to interview students about key concepts that are being introduced as a means of engagement for students who may be inured/ sick, as well as a means of reflection for students.  

- Guide students when asking questions so that they feel motivated with their understanding  by giving correct answers. This requires more "check-in" type questions that aim at getting students to understand the theory of what worked and why.

Footage

Through the implication of technology as a tool for understanding I had my class filmed. Through the footage issues present themselves upin reflection, as well as successes.

This page needs to be developed.  I thought you understood that the lesson did not go really as planned "Use TGfU approach and animation to teach Pick and Roll" but still had good elements.

Not TGfU as did not have 3 on 3 game that emphasized need for Pick and Roll as opening game focused more on Fast Break.  How could you revise for that focus?

Check typo for Inured above.  "Injured."

Also typo "upin"

What this page is focused on is an analysis of the lesson plan on the workshop teaching "Pick and Roll".  What was the intent?  What was learned?  How do you know it was learned? How would you revise and why?

At present we have bits but not sure another student could read this page and make sense of your analysis.

To revise add in the lesson plan.  Write out your description of the lesson and what happened.  How do you deal with the odd number of players.  What benefit did you get as a teacher and for the learners with the interviewers.  On reflection how could you revise the lesson to better teach the "Pick and Roll" strategy that you were teaching.  How could you simplify player actions in order to teach the strategy whilst not relying on the need for advanced basketball skills?  Compare Marissa and Graham to Amen and Amy experience in the lesson.  Refer to the footage in your analysis.

Good to pull out the gender neutral language as this is actually university and school district policy now.
