a. Open Response Questions 1. A writing alternative to assess knowledge 2. They require complex or higher-order thinking to respond because they usually analyze something, propose a solution, or solve a problem
b. Essays 1. Must have a realistic purpose, an audience, and usually a product 2. Tasks are open-ended giving students a variety of ways to answer the challenge c. Journals
1. Opportunity to look at affective domain components specific question or focus might help determine when a student struggles with a new skill, feels competence, feels a sense of teamwork, etc.
ELEMENTARY PHYSICAL EDUCATION, K-5.
Sample Strategies for Incorporating
Physical Education and Physical
Activity into the K-5 Classroom
• In New Jersey, 14.2 percent of adolescents and 17 percent of kids age 5 and under are overweight, and 10.3 percent of adolescents and 17.3 percent of kids age 5 and under are considered obese.
What We Have
• Currently, New Jersey mandates at least 150 minutes each week of health, safety and physical education. New Jersey should mandate that children have gym class every day throughout the entire school year. Health and safety education are important, but they should be an adjunct to gym, not something that comes in place of it.
What Happened
• In the wake of NCLB, educators lamented the need to "teach to the test," and administrators dedicated additional class time to ensure their schools met the requirements and avoided being labeled "failing schools." As a result, time devoted to electives such as art, music and P.E. plummeted.
What We Need
• Congress called for passage of the FIT Kids Act, a bill that would amend NCLB to add P.E. as a core subject and require schools to report on the state of their programs.
• Physical activity: You need to be active 60 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week.
INTEGRATING PHYSICAL EDUCATION INSTRUCTION
INTO THE ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM
• Integrating physical education instruction into the elementary classroom can take many forms. It can be as simple as the elementary classroom teacher directly providing physical education instruction in class or physical education instruction by the elementary classroom teacher into the core curriculum. However, the lessons taught by the elementary classroom teacher must be under the direction and supervision of a certified physical education teacher.
“Take Five”
• teacher’s provide a “take five” exercise break during the morning and afternoon of each school day.
• Each exercise is sequential in skills, appropriate for each grade level, learned for correct performance, and safe for student performance and designed to be compatible for use in the classroom.
Start S.M.A.R.T. PE
• Start each school day with an 8 minute lesson led by a certified physical education teacher via classroom internet or video on a fitness component and related exercise(s) that students will do at their desks in their classroom.
Evaluation Process
• Self-Assessment
• Pre-Observation Conferences
• Observations
• Post-Observation Conferences
• Summary Evaluation Conference
• Professional Development Planning
“TEACH What You Want to Assess...
ASSESS What You Want to Teach.”
TEACH ASSESS
Open-Response DEFINITION
Open-Response: assessment option that allows students to apply knowledge learned in class to solve problem in real-world scenario
MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS possible: not just 1 correct answer
Requires students to use HIGHER-ORDER THINKING skills and cognitive abilities to create correct solutions
WHY Use Open-Response?
1. Encourages kids to THINK “OUTSIDE-THE-BOX”
2. Helps teachers IDENTIFY areas that students UNDERSTAND and/or MISUNDERSTAND what was taught
3. Teachers can assess students’ ABILITY TO USE information IN REAL-WORLD settings
4. Students can develop their PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS
5. If done well, can be enjoyable for students and teachers to do
Essays
• a short analytic, descriptive, or interpretive piece of literary or journalistic prose dealing with a specific topic, especially from a personal and unsystematic viewpoint
Journals
• A periodical containing information and contributions relevant to the subject matter.
