1020 Words5 Pages

Sport Education curriculum model was developed in the early 1990’s. It is instruction that is specifically designed to provide students with an experience that is both enjoyable and one that will help them live healthier lifestyles throughout their entire life. Sport education is usually broke down into different units, units that are specific to a certain sport (ex. Football, volleyball etc.). The units however are longer than a typical P.E. unit. They can range anywhere from 18-20 class sessions or 3-5 weeks. Teams are usually divided at the beginning of the unit and split in a way that they are equal and fair. As a teacher you do not want to separate you students into a high skilled group and a low skilled group, you want to mix and …show more content…

The article gives an example of what a 20 day sport education golf season would look like, and I must say that it keeps the students busy and it brings a lot of excitement to what some say is a boring sport. The students were separated into teams at the beginning of the unit, like discussed earlier in this paper, and were given opportunities to learn and coach new skills with and to their teams. During this season there were team competitions built into the season, for example a putting competition, chipping, pitching short irons etc. Peer teaching was a strategy used in this unit quite often. Each of the player coaches would get a lesson on the skill being taught for the class and would then go and relay (teach) that information to their teammates. In the conclusion of the article it discussed how smooth the season went and that by using the SEM it made learning the new skills and sport enjoyable for the students versus using the traditional way of teaching sports. It also states that by using the SEM it was a great tool for instilling content knowledge of the sport in a more competitive manner (Scarboro, S., & Pritchard, T. (2015)). Speaking from experience as a PE teacher, students …show more content…

I’ve noticed a lot of times just by exposing students to new sports, they take a new appreciation for it because they are learning everything about that sport, mastering skills of the specific sport and truly seeing how hard it can be. At the same time the way we set classes up they are experiencing success. When they have success or experience success they want to be involved in it more than just class, for example signing up to play football for the school because of getting that exposure to the sport through sport education in

Evan Altenburger 1 Mr. Utendorf English 8.1 4 April 2023 Why the LIV Golf Tour is bad for sports Choosing to watch the LIV Golf Tour is a bad choice because, “In its simplest form many believe LIV Golf to be sportswashing to cover up Saudi Arabia’s appalling human rights record” (Townsend 1). The LIV Golf Tour which originated last year has only drawn an average of 300,000 views while the PGA Tour has an average of drawing in almost 1 million people per tournament.

“We know that playing a sport in college teaches young people lessons that last a lifetime, such as time management, leadership skills and teamwork, along with how to handle winning and losing” (Ackerman and Scott n.p.). When coached correctly, these athletes bloom into outstanding individuals that are going to achieve great things when they are finished playing their sports. This must be very rewarding for the athletes to understand that not only are they getting the opportunity to continue to play their sport, but they are learning life skills such as time management, how to be a leader, and how to be a positive member on a team. When the athletes are out on their own and working at their own jobs, they will understand principles of hard work much more than that of their coworkers because of their experience in college.

Quickly, I realized that both of my opponents could hit the ball farther than me and I began to forget my father's guidance of playing conservatively, in an attempt to keep up with them. I began hitting my more inconsistent clubs, hoping for longer yardage. This method of “Go Big or Go Home” didn’t work out very well because after the first day I was losing by three strokes to Cooper and losing by four strokes to the freshman. After telling my dad how the first day had gone, he told me that I needed to play my own golf game and not worry about them. This would mean sacrificing yardage for a better score, something I was willing to do.

As it is acknowledged that schools, classes and teachers will vary, some methods will suit particular circumstances better than others, and the nature of the strands themselves necessitates the use of a variety of teaching methods.
