Learning Experiences in EPHE 452 in order to generate evidence to develop competence.

• Professional engagement on the course Google Classroom Stream
• Scholarly summary and connection to academic articles on teaching games in PE
• Reflective insights demonstrating a growth mindset on the course material and field experience in relation to emerging ability to teaching games in PE

Assessment: To what level of competency do you feel you are performing the learning implied in this big idea?

Within the big idea of "Exploring and Enhancing Pedagogy big ideas" I am now not only learning key strategies but teaching them to my classmates, thus elevating them.

I'm within the "extending" competency for I am not only acknowledging the intricacies of the article in my practical usage of "freezing" (scholarly summary). But am now suggesting it as a means of higher learning within my classmates games (engagement with class).

Evidence: How does the evidence show your developing competencies in relation to this big idea?

I am now reading an article, "translating" it within a game situation (scholarly summary) and suggesting implications of it within classmates games. This then puts me at the "create" level of Bloom's Taxonomy.  

Personal growth:  What can you now do based on this evidence?

I have another "tool" within my "tool chest" that allows me to get the students to self evaluate and peer evaluate without even taking them out of the game. My understanding is rich enough that I am also able to implement these ideas within other classmates games, thus helping out my community instead of just myself. 

Goal:  What is something you want to work on or improve on in relation to this big idea?

I would like to keep a journal of teaching methods that worked and didn't work. This would be helpful with not only remembering different tactics, but tweaking them. Example would be, using the "freeze" idea with younger kids may work but a senior boys basketball team may need a different (more mature) approach.
