TEACHER
EXERCISE PROGRAM: As a future P.E. teacher, I would
like to offer weekly group exercise sessions for teachers at my
school. I think this is a great way to build community in the school
and a chance to be healthy role models for our students. Does anyone
have any experience in leading similar programs? Is it feasible?
Are teachers willing to participate in something like this? Any
advice is appreciated. Please share in the forum.

PRESIDENTIAL
PHYSICAL FITNESS: I am trying to record student's
scores that they receive on the physical fitness tests. The President's
Challenge has a Fit File but it is not compatable with an ipad.
Does anyone have a way/program in which you input the data into
an ipad and have it record as National or Presidential, based on
the student's age? Been working on this for a while and any help
would be great! Please share in the forum.

STEAL
THE PIN: Does anyone else think that steal
the pin does not exert enough physical exercise for all students?

KIDS
LOV E IT: I helped with a Jump
Rope For Heart event at my old high school. It was a decent
sized project getting everything organized, and the JRFH staff was
so helpful and would do anything to help out. The kids raised some
money to help benefit the American Heart Association. If the kids
raised some very little amount they could attend the JRFH event
where (1st) they get out of class so they love it, (2nd) they learn
a lot about jump roping and exercise, (3rd) they learn about the
heart and get free prizes all day! Kids absolutely love it. This
isn't one of those assemblies where you have kids falling asleep
on the person next to them. Please share in the forum.

HOW
CAN I MAKE A DIFFERENCE: I am going to be student
teaching in the fall and I have already started to think about my
future job opportunities. One word of caution that I keep hearing
is that when new P.E. majors go into a school that is the "old"
way (sports and competition centered) is that it will be difficult
if not impossible to implement your new P.E. philosophy. Does anyone
have any suggestions about how to deal with someone who likes the
old way and won't try anything new? Please share in the forum.

PEER
TEACHING PARTNERS: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need some opinions. Do you think that peer teaching partners should
be chosen by the professors or by the students themselves?
I was assigned a partner to do peer teaching with for one of my
classes, and I am having a very hard time! He never seems to want
to input anything. I feel like I am doing all the work. He never
wants to get together and work on lesson plans, so I end up doing
them. He makes fun of me for being "on the ball" and
always wanting to get everything done so early. It's getting annoying!
And there is no way that I could switch and get a different partner.
I understand that once I get a job in the "real world"
I am going to have to work with others, that I may or may not
get along with...but when my grade relys on this...I'm not so
sure that I feel it's a good thing!?
I would really appreciate some opinions on this. Do I have a
reason to be upset about my partner? In-put would be great! Please
share in the forum.
