Discussion Qs What issues are brought out by this song? Do you personally identify with this song in any way? How would you feel about your class if you were a right fielder What changes could we make to a softball lesson where one S is always in right field? How can we make right fielders enjoy PA for a lifetime? How often does this scenario play out in real life?

Acknowledge and address the developmental levels and individual differences within and among learners in a class or age group of students or participants. Provide activities that guarantee successful experiences for all students or participants and provide individual challenges for the athletically gifted, the below average, as well as the average learner.

The three principles of DAA Acknowledge and Address Individual Differences Ensure success and provide challenges Utilize developmentally appropriated equipment

Activity experiences should be appropriate for the developmental level of all students. Differentiated instruction – adjusting task or language for low and high performers including students with disabilities The less physically educated are more of our focus. Why? This can be challenging for us

Age appropriate Equipment sized and weighted for success One ball for every child

Should 24 students wait to share one pencil?

Example assignment Know each of the codes and what they stand for

To insure increased ALT-PE: 1) Eliminate elimination 2) Maximize opportunities for skill performance [touches] 3) Utilize developmentally appropriate equipment and tasks 4) Ensure a high success rate in a developmentally appropriate task relative to skill levels When students are provided with simply time on task it may actually be a counter- productive period of time and/or activity.

Opportunities to respond Why is this more accurate than simply measuring activity time? Hierarchy OTLs/OTRs ALT-PE Time on task

Important to provide feedback to students regarding what they are doing well and/or may need to improve. This includes motivational comments Later at WCU, the type and amount will be closely monitored What might you say to this student?student

Student Centered – students have more control and choice in class. Students create their understandings. 6. Guided Discovery (includes convergent) 7. Problem Solving (divergent, exploration) 8. Individual Program Summary Document

Teacher should adjust activities so that task is not too easy (boredom) or too hard (frustration) Challenge progresses or builds from previous learning
