I ended up working 80 hours during my time between the 2 schools. I really had one of the best times ever knowing i was living my dream and how close i am to reality. Both of my schools told me i was welcomed back any time and to stop by and see how i was doing. The kids were all asking me if i would take over and be the teacher there at the school. That made me feel i was doing my job. I ended up making two bulletin boards one for each school and i really enjoyed my work that i completed. I am all done with the binder of work and all ready for my interview. Always dream big and work as hard as you can and your dreams will all come into place.

We here in the physical education department feel that physical education is a very important aspect of every child’s learning just as much as any other academic class the students may take. We feel that our students will receive the most learning with the proper equipment and for the safety of our children as used in NYS learning standard number two. We feel that it is very important for our children to have as many supplies as possible for their learning. For example we could use new equipment in our tennis unit we are currently in at the moment. Many of the racquets are broken and almost not usable for our students. We feel this is very important to receive new equipment along with more supplies because here at New Paltz High school physical education is much more than just participation and attendance and playing the sport of tennis or any unit we teach. When we teach an unit here we believe it is very important for our students learning to cover every domain such as their psychomotor, affective, and cognitive skills. We not only look at our students ability to participate and play during class we assess our students on all three domains. We feel that getting new equipment and more supplies is very crucial for our student’s success and learning. Along with this we ask for more space for our students to perform their skills as well. Using the gym alone is not enough space for our students to demonstrate enough of what is required of them in NYS learning standard 1A and 1B. We would like to be able to use the tennis courts over at the college and would need transportation. We feel this is equally as important because students must have the right facilities to demonstrate to us their ability to perform a skill such as stated in learning standard 1A. Also in order for our students to be successful it is useful to have them learn from learning standard three which requires that our students have an understanding of resource management. We feel that applying our tennis skills on an actual court will be very beneficial for our students learning and awareness of great places to maximize their playing while in physical education class. All of these skills are equally important to us here in the physical education department using the NASPE standards as well. When I first received the job and was working with the older physical education teachers they told me physical education was about taking attendance, participation and reading the news paper. Receiving my degree from Cortland University told me otherwise and I am very prepared to do everything in my power to make learning for my students the most beneficial as possible. What I have learned over time in all of my experience and classes taken at the University of Cortland is that physical education is more than what others may make it out to be. I have learned so much more about physical education than when I first started out and agreed with the older generation, but after much research and years of school I am prepared to do everything in my power to request kindly that we are able to receive the funding for our class for a better education and reputation here at New Paltz High School. Here is a web page of an example of the standards we follow here at New Paltz High School. http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/pe/pels.html. If there are any other questions regarding this email please feel free to contact me through my number at 555-5555 or through my email here at the high school, yanikmitchell@NPH.edu. I look forward to hearing back from you and meeting so we can discuss this further more in person. Thank you very much for your time.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />Sincerely<br />Mitch Yanik (Physical Education Department)Coach Yanikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11028589114285305579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365644956245370272.post-70082387805856611502010-05-13T12:32:00.001-07:002010-05-13T12:32:14.903-07:00Great Yankee Song :)<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MyKCj69b39I&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MyKCj69b39I&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Coach Yanikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11028589114285305579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365644956245370272.post-90940012864747747662010-05-12T16:33:00.000-07:002010-05-13T10:17:52.632-07:00Daily Burn Reflection.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDMmGnnGlmwoHbaurHCkn5TZDWWuNUpWnfbdz2qgabVcC-NmeyxcKGKfJX9HjfQmOfFRIK5irkCAzGeO0aI7_dyEDsEUjQgtsKQ8m5XOho5_ynwbg4TtRyJrTElOPXvUFzxFLikfSMrpQ/s1600/Fullscreen+capture+5132010+121631+PM.bmp"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 184px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDMmGnnGlmwoHbaurHCkn5TZDWWuNUpWnfbdz2qgabVcC-NmeyxcKGKfJX9HjfQmOfFRIK5irkCAzGeO0aI7_dyEDsEUjQgtsKQ8m5XOho5_ynwbg4TtRyJrTElOPXvUFzxFLikfSMrpQ/s320/Fullscreen+capture+5132010+121631+PM.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470804956260163714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJWN9aHs_Zmd5ia0pB4ehICTcG2HMdDQQRFacGFEF4xlAcsQ9JH962tRLMLs8mfb8BWevFjkoLlpJSJi6ZgUmg15ccB9Sk45M0URndW3whWPKqTX9r_SwOOoE9h4SgtYKGFy5DDbJPE4/s1600/Fullscreen+capture+5132010+121759+PM.bmp"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 136px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJWN9aHs_Zmd5ia0pB4ehICTcG2HMdDQQRFacGFEF4xlAcsQ9JH962tRLMLs8mfb8BWevFjkoLlpJSJi6ZgUmg15ccB9Sk45M0URndW3whWPKqTX9r_SwOOoE9h4SgtYKGFy5DDbJPE4/s320/Fullscreen+capture+5132010+121759+PM.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470791339690581746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih4PV4h870qkXZpTqMLJz-iUs4VrDrlhfa1DDwZVe3UOhkQBeJkXiKXPGu4J9pcG-IVh8JtvdS6eg7JY_nG6q8qpkBYctlvS02c0So2w_Lqnnz3ez5rePdW_BBfwLKjpJBtmMCtlqIWas/s1600/Fullscreen+capture+5132010+121726+PM.bmp"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 202px; height: 127px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih4PV4h870qkXZpTqMLJz-iUs4VrDrlhfa1DDwZVe3UOhkQBeJkXiKXPGu4J9pcG-IVh8JtvdS6eg7JY_nG6q8qpkBYctlvS02c0So2w_Lqnnz3ez5rePdW_BBfwLKjpJBtmMCtlqIWas/s320/Fullscreen+capture+5132010+121726+PM.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470790803647211922" border="0" /></a>My impressions of daily burn are that it can be a very helpful web page once you get use to it,<br />it can be a bit difficult to understand but once you get accustomed to it i feel that it could be a<br />very helpful site. I like how it allows for you to keep track of what you ate and how many calories are being used and taken in. It shows you the % of fat, carbohydrates, and protein you are consuming in a day. I do not currently use another online website as an online exercise and nutrition tracker. For my associates degree i had to take a nutrition class and i used my pyramid for a nutrition tracker along with the exercises that I did daily. I kept track of a 1 week period of everything i ate and did for exercise. It was a huge final project and i actually liked it because i learned a lot about nutrition. I have a two year degree in nutrition exercise so I enjoyed that web site a lot. This daily burn tracker is very similar though and a good way to keep track of our nutrition, fitness and our exercises. I as well would like to remain a member of the rock star group after i am done here.<br /><br />This web site can be used to accomplish the recommended regents level for LS #1B in a few ways. 1B standard is personal fitness and health. This site could be used as a project for kids to follow their nutrition, fitness, and their activity during a whole school year as well as keeping track of what their goals are for that year whether it be cardiovascular or muscular endurance or strength or even flexibility as well as body composition. This could also be used to test students and keep track of their physical fitness as well.<br /><br />An electronic tool that could be used for capturing data and reporting for the recommended regents level for LS # 1A could be Microsoft Excel. I know this for sure because i was required to use this when i did my final project for my nutrition class and made up a great planner on everything i ate and all of the exercises that i performed each day for a week. I put all of that information into an Excel toolbar. This could very easily be used in a high school setting, maybe not as in depth and long as my final project was but it could definitely be used in a high school physical education setting as an end of the semester project to track how well kids are eating and using exercise to their ability as well as their skills in a certain sport which would cover LS #1 which is the students ability to perform a skill. Students could then take snap shots of themselves using the Picasa 3 program as good examples of their nutrition or if they perform a certain exercise. This is a great way to track how well you are eating and performing a skill over a semester of time by going back and looking at your technique in the snap shot by taking different ones over the semester of the school year.Coach Yanikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11028589114285305579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365644956245370272.post-5351236333058582112010-05-12T14:22:00.000-07:002010-05-13T10:33:43.777-07:00Video Answers for final<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPFe-8_Ba4UTwezObGU3NsnAD9KR4gz-UgvDUXMqFnPVzW0y7nwRdwV1t5iwa5lXs2f-ZFCOr2E5Kn4R4DjpyMwtlVzG-FWLd_FyIJSP4-jKPQEzQ1mrmwwOPRCPhjiMd6GX0p1wkajVU/s1600/350px-NutanaCollegiate.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPFe-8_Ba4UTwezObGU3NsnAD9KR4gz-UgvDUXMqFnPVzW0y7nwRdwV1t5iwa5lXs2f-ZFCOr2E5Kn4R4DjpyMwtlVzG-FWLd_FyIJSP4-jKPQEzQ1mrmwwOPRCPhjiMd6GX0p1wkajVU/s320/350px-NutanaCollegiate.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470809109132977986" border="0" /></a><br />The website is from CBC Canada. The city this story is from is city park collegiate in Saskatoon Canada.<br /><br />What i feel about this news piece is i feel it was pretty interesting, I liked the fact how this school included hardcore cardiovascular endurance into their curriculum. Many of these exercises were done outside of the physical education class as well. This is a school where many troubled kids attended and exercise made a huge difference on the students in the school. Many of the children used heart rate monitors to track their progress over the year. Treadmills were used in this class as well. I know that it is a fact that when you exercise you do much better in a school setting, and i have found that to be a true fact as well. Many of these students did much better academically after they exercised. i was aware that before i watched this video that exercise helps the brain and many children do better on test if they exercise before hand. I usually use this method before i test and find it to work very well. The schools attendance actually was better with exercise used as well. Many of the children liked this program much more. The PE program that we herd about did not do much motivating for the students. This video showed us poor physical education and allowed for many of the students to not be active and be lazy all at the same time. When children feel that they are not as skilled as their peers they are turned off from a certain subject and will act out by not participating as they should be or would like to. As a physical educator i would try to make everything fun and interesting for my class while at the same time they would be getter exercise and learning all at the same time. You want to make physical education class as fun as you can for the students and have no waiting time and over 50% activity time. The results of the new system of using exercise in the lessons had a lot of effects and results on the school. Many of the students increased their grades in other classes dramatically with exercise. Many of the scores increased such as science. The school has an amazing system and i feel that many people should look at how they incorporate exercise into their program. Many of the NASPE standards were covered as well in this school that we use here in NYS. I saw standards four and five being used which is instructional delivery and management and impact on student learning. This new system had a great impact on the students learning and it clearly showed in the video. Barney was a student who was troubled and showed a lot of progress with this new system. Many of these children were motivated and did bad things until this program was put into place. The one student suffered from learning disabilities such as ADD. Exercise has a tremendous effect on how students learn and participate. I also feel that it is important to add other subjects in exercise programs to get the best learning out of your students. One final thing, DDNF is a protein known as Brain-derived neurotrophic factor. This is important in our students learning, memory, and their higher thinking. This encourages both growth and differentiation of neurons and synapses.<br />Two books on this study are:<br /><br />1. “Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain” by John J.

I really am going to miss the kids a whole lot. Today was by far one of the most best days we have had at St. Mary's. It was superhero day and we all dressed up for the kids to make the environment much more fun. When me and my buddy Matt showed up as Mario and Luigi the whole entire gymnasium erupted and all the kids started going crazy, they all started chanting Mario and Luigi. The older kids and the youngest kids were all going crazy like as if a famous person had just walked into the gym. I was pretty impressed by the welcoming. The kids loved our costumes. I absolutely had an amazing time this year at St. Mary's. I am really going to miss the kids there because they all became very attached to me like most kids do anywhere i go to work. Like everywhere I go when i work with kids the hardest part is saying goodbye and knowing its over and not seeing these kids and how happy they get when they see me every other week. I have always known that i want to work with kids when i start my career but after today I was just saying to myself this is most definitely what i can see myself doing for the rest of my life, there are no words to describe how happy i am when i work with kids. I got to work with the Pre-K today for some time and that was an amazing experience playing with these kids. Their imagination is just amazing. They were some of the cutest kids. If i get an invitation to work there I will defiantly consider it because working with kids is what i know i want to do 110%. I can not wait to make this my career and change the lives of many kids and just enjoy what i do. Even the older kids were having a blast with me today, some of the kids that usually misbehave were even very good. This was a great way to go out at St. Mary's.Coach Yanikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11028589114285305579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365644956245370272.post-16614081670483719132010-04-27T19:12:00.000-07:002010-04-27T19:24:18.206-07:00Sports are my Life.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMD1IUsXOPa5UKc5IPqHB0vok3VIDWi1xGuE-A1Px8rZu7h5sCV02C7eEpYNx1WUlBa2x0rAEWSt6LbiGjLIVJqmH9qYfhNJ_OzEph3_zvS-jjMylW99z5oogYYl1NHGmNkP3EM45rbY4/s1600/tumblr_l1jjctZyMS1qa2suso1_1280.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMD1IUsXOPa5UKc5IPqHB0vok3VIDWi1xGuE-A1Px8rZu7h5sCV02C7eEpYNx1WUlBa2x0rAEWSt6LbiGjLIVJqmH9qYfhNJ_OzEph3_zvS-jjMylW99z5oogYYl1NHGmNkP3EM45rbY4/s320/tumblr_l1jjctZyMS1qa2suso1_1280.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465008509441932066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijckRs1-NUH8rQPNkoISOfz6i-b9hhRGOlDAlmzyH9Diui-x6GpPLq7A4ETBwlrpYM0dbU6AR-fJLkDC2FCIX_Ak2SPekccHXG2gUZJ5smZSa33BPnHOFz3j34u8AlcEsXeItw04EW8Qo/s1600/sportscenter.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 163px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijckRs1-NUH8rQPNkoISOfz6i-b9hhRGOlDAlmzyH9Diui-x6GpPLq7A4ETBwlrpYM0dbU6AR-fJLkDC2FCIX_Ak2SPekccHXG2gUZJ5smZSa33BPnHOFz3j34u8AlcEsXeItw04EW8Qo/s320/sportscenter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465007556969305250" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span id="profile_status"><span id="status_text">Watching the Red Wings game 7 (my team), watching the NBA playoffs on TNT tonight, watching the Yankees game.

This video is very familiar to human child development in many ways as well. But the major monkey mother that the baby monkey was attached to was the cloth mother monkey, this may be because children like the feeling of warmth and comfort over any other variable even including nutrition. A child in development will naturally flock towards comfort and warmth of their mother which is evident here in this monkey experiment. Care giving is very important in social and cognitive development. The monkeys feel most comfortable when they are frightened to flock to the cloth which is the warmth and comfort of the mommy monkey, this changes though as the baby monkey gets older just like with a child's development we become less attached to our mothers comfort and warmth and more attracted to feeding our hunger and feeding ourselves as we get older.Coach Yanikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11028589114285305579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365644956245370272.post-58749713837537230782010-04-26T14:39:00.000-07:002010-04-27T14:15:15.706-07:00Self Defense Forms<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSx6ItHfstUaCXAsaBigYR55Mey68RXoPgITlFHxEhkif39m5Qm-WNXvHZXwunCLOBtdEJSOw_Avp_LRj6uiPMXHfmCIsLu2DkKzLKjlc4NiQnYDcGpmfCcURgSW-S8mLEArbI7oQxniM/s1600/DSC00297-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464915775558604610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSx6ItHfstUaCXAsaBigYR55Mey68RXoPgITlFHxEhkif39m5Qm-WNXvHZXwunCLOBtdEJSOw_Avp_LRj6uiPMXHfmCIsLu2DkKzLKjlc4NiQnYDcGpmfCcURgSW-S8mLEArbI7oQxniM/s320/DSC00297-1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5sWxalCwwXWGoG0tgtyC62ENxV1IpH3yie7p3QJxUC0KDbe8FPu5LvUDOmJ5vAkeFC5eCGyO9rRx6daklC_Pwf0a9Ez_fB0z1YFFOZvGwI-5b8ilhgr_c3f65NrOWs5V0hg_BWruMSsQ/s1600/DSC00258-2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464915690918395058" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5sWxalCwwXWGoG0tgtyC62ENxV1IpH3yie7p3QJxUC0KDbe8FPu5LvUDOmJ5vAkeFC5eCGyO9rRx6daklC_Pwf0a9Ez_fB0z1YFFOZvGwI-5b8ilhgr_c3f65NrOWs5V0hg_BWruMSsQ/s320/DSC00258-2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgsNyAU6rBJCRDIA5hcUGC9JrBXyBpikTcdfWg4L-EarmAistuH9hWmOQ8bPxBymq0ghqOjLXOGi6CX_oqh6gCiWjBBR3yGgBZIqq5ORLBz69b6aGZIFnAxH5OSho7ThmMQRyIBgx_6Mk/s1600/DSC00202-2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464894763736200098" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgsNyAU6rBJCRDIA5hcUGC9JrBXyBpikTcdfWg4L-EarmAistuH9hWmOQ8bPxBymq0ghqOjLXOGi6CX_oqh6gCiWjBBR3yGgBZIqq5ORLBz69b6aGZIFnAxH5OSho7ThmMQRyIBgx_6Mk/s320/DSC00202-2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj92Q1v1pUJzuY0RkcEXHnmjT2wOIr73KoczpOcynUkZtRyPsPCEZlVEoRl6HpM80kzk3QKVqZe-ggpR7Oj0ZZafEVzS7eTG8uYE3fJjFih2Z6_hbwCeZO7CM2eRqSkkogFqIrErvIAJk0/s1600/DSC00099-6.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464566145410496354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj92Q1v1pUJzuY0RkcEXHnmjT2wOIr73KoczpOcynUkZtRyPsPCEZlVEoRl6HpM80kzk3QKVqZe-ggpR7Oj0ZZafEVzS7eTG8uYE3fJjFih2Z6_hbwCeZO7CM2eRqSkkogFqIrErvIAJk0/s320/DSC00099-6.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>This is a form that shows the kind of <a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AfNgbGiLpOr_ZGhmODY2MnRfMzBkcmpmdGdjZg&hl=en">feedback</a> I was able to give to my class.

I was very proud of my amount of preparation and I feel that it showed when I taught. It was by far the best teaching experience I had all year long. Based on what I feel that I covered in my teaching self defense I feel that I covered everything that should be done on the self C-9 form. I was very prepared and ready to teach. I was confident and happy to be teaching something that I prepared for. My lesson I feel went very well. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Here is an example of the <a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AfNgbGiLpOr_ZGhmODY2MnRfMzNmcHhnOWQ5cQ&hl=en">developing the content </a>that I made for my self defense unit.

The graph based on where the X’s were put shows me a direction the kind of resemble a M letter shape which I believe is a good sequence order for my teaching the content.

After filling out this form I noticed I got 2 out of the 5 points but I was only 1% off from getting activity time which is a huge improvement from all my other teaching lessons. I am very pleased with the amount of activity I supplied for my students and I now know that I am almost getting there and very close to making the percent of activity time for my students. One thing I would like to cut down on is my instruction time, I noticed this number was fairly high but overall I feel that I have showed great improvement since the first teaching lesson.

I was very nervous at first when I saw I would be teaching self defense about 4 weeks ago. After 4 weeks of preparing myself and meeting with self defense teachers and other students to learn more about my unit I became more and more comfortable with what I was going to teach to my class. I rehearsed for hours in my dorm so that I would say everything that I wanted to say when it was my time to teach. I worked on this teaching unit for weeks. I had my progressions done and my lesson plan well in advance as well as my visual aids. Meeting with the self defense teacher really helped me a lot in preparing myself to teach for this unit. My reflection on this day was very positive. I have come a long ways since the first day when I taught basketball. The first day I taught I knew nothing about the C-9 form as well as the way I was dressed was nothing like how professional I looked for lab D. I am very happy with how I am progressing as a teacher candidate. I am more confident now but still very shy and need to work on my voice projection. My last lab that I taught I covered everything and more on the C-9 form and I was very proud of myself and the way I prepared for this teaching unit. I was confident and knew what I wanted to say. I was even able to throw some jokes in there as well to loosen up the atmosphere. I did notice I said umm a few times which I want to try and avoid but overall I was very pleased with how far I have come since the first teaching unit in the beginning of the year. I feel that once I can overcome being a quiet person I can do anything that I want to do with the right amount of preparing as well as my work ethic. In lab C I forgot to demonstrate some task as well as give feedback, this time I gave a lot of feedback and I demonstrated every move from different angles as well. I also used intra task variation this time which I was very pleased about and worked out well. One other thing I really rehearsed was if someone acted up in my class what I would do for discipline. I was very prepared for any situation that would occur in my class. I would separate any kids who could not handle being partners and then go from there. Lab D turned out to be a great finish for me and I am very proud of the outcome overall. I would like to just work on being more loud and less shy.Coach Yanikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11028589114285305579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365644956245370272.post-7107091659664572592010-04-26T13:39:00.000-07:002010-04-26T13:40:17.525-07:00Part 3 teaching video of self defense<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_axMENdOaYI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_axMENdOaYI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Coach Yanikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11028589114285305579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365644956245370272.post-56509593437301696782010-04-26T13:37:00.000-07:002010-04-26T13:38:16.742-07:00Self Defense Video<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3xXUysqoUog&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3xXUysqoUog&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Coach Yanikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11028589114285305579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365644956245370272.post-75591039773716540182010-04-26T13:35:00.000-07:002010-04-26T13:39:20.761-07:00Teaching Self Defense for Lab D<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/62cc_u9qnfQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/62cc_u9qnfQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Coach Yanikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11028589114285305579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365644956245370272.post-45816479402888921282010-04-25T11:47:00.000-07:002010-04-25T11:51:30.549-07:00Coaching My brother<h3 class="UIIntentionalStory_Message" ft="{"type":"msg"}"><span class="UIStory_Message">WOW MY BROTHER TRIED OUT FOR THE 13 YEAR OLD ALL STAR TEAM (HES 11).

He told me my brother made the team because he was impressed with his pitching and defense and that he has never seen a breaking ball and fastball combined so good for an 11 year old and that he has great poise and potential to be dominant. Again i'm the most excited brother in the world.

I taught my final lesson for a class and i did a really good job. The lesson went really well and i covered everything that a good teacher would cover. I stayed up for hours rehearsing my lines and what it was that i wanted to say and what i wanted my class to do. I was very confident going into the lesson and i felt it payed off when i taught. This is just a quick blog on how great i feel to have overcome my fears and do a great job. The picture is just for fun since i am in a really happy mood.

We did not have the gym today so are alternate was playing outside which was quite a bit different. The kids were much more rowdy. We were able to play our games but some of them were a bit more difficult because some kids who did not want to listen would change the mood for the other kids making it harder to explain the game or play it the right way. When we went down stairs the kids were much better and calmer. I played with the kids and had a good time today. I liked the theme of toy story. I actually dressed up as woody and had a fun time with the effort I put in to dress up and make the kids happy or question who I was or why I was dressed up. I really enjoy working with the smaller kids and to see their expressions when we play the games with them is amazing. I think the change of where we were made it a bit different for the kids to focus but overall they all had a fun time and many of them were out of breath because we had them moving around a lot and doing lots of kicking running and dribbling. I look forward to the last lab when we meet. It has been a great experience at St. Mary’s.Coach Yanikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11028589114285305579noreply@blogger.com0
