StudioCode

I've learned a lot about my instruction and management capabilities since I had to go through and code my lesson. The video I uploaded into studiocode was one of my first teaching experiences and after coding it I saw where I've grown in my management skills. For me my goal is to make sure the kids are having a good time, exercising, and learning the skills I have prepared to teach them. Management plays a big role in ensuring the kids are learning and not just messing around doing their own thing. Kids need to understand that I mean business. I've learned to deliver the material in a tone that lets them know that I am serious and they need to do what is asked of them.

My instruction has also improved quite a bit. I've learned the importance of continually repeating the cues I am teaching and then reinforcing those cues through the feedback that I give each student. By the time they are done with the lesson they will definitely know the steps needed to accomplish a skill. The kids need to know that their teacher wants them to succeed so by making my instruction clear and precise they are more likely to learn the material I have prepared for them.

Something that I will do different next semester is work on building from one skill to another. So far I've just focused on one skill and taught that particular skill. I want to work on bringing a couple of skills together and clearly presenting them to the class so that they are able to do more than one skill in a particular sport by the time class is over.
