My Teaching Philosophy – Planning and Structuring Class

When I think about teaching I think about my coaching philosophy. A coach has tremendous influence on the physical and psychological development of their athletes – young and old. The primary responsibility of the coach is to enable their athlete to attain levels of performance not otherwise achievable: therefore, coaches need to develop skills to motivate athletes and establish the right conditions for learning. Being an effectual coach is more than understanding the technical knowledge of sport but knowing how to build trusting kinesthetic relationships.

In the field of Public Administration, the work of Donald A. Schön seems of particular importance to developing my teaching philosophy …show more content…

The beginning of the class was ‘heavily structured’ by moving desks to focus on the person at the front and the person at the front doing most of the talking. As anticipated, most students sat at the back and this felt awkward to all (including me as the person at the front). As the class progressed, the structure of the class was changed to an open ‘fishbowl’ pattern to the idea on the whiteboard on “reimagining” philanthropy. The motivation was to mirror the idea of how social systems become capable of transforming themselves and shaping relationships – the dialectical relationship between organizational structures and human agency is an important tenant in critical sociology and as demonstrated in many of the readings, from Bordt’s piece using institutional theory and less obviously to Roelofs’ explication of the mask of …show more content…

It is difficult to change the established class pattern and student habits. Personally, I am not fond of the question/answer discussion format. To me, this is the opposite of how a doctoral-level class should be structured. It might show how much the leader knows about the subject, but I have a feeling that this structure encourages students to gloss over the readings to answer the question. With that said, I don’t think my approach was any better. My hope was to have students come to class with (1) their own questions regarding the theoretical approaches, concepts and tools used by the various authors and (2) discuss that application of these to our understanding of nonprofit, voluntary, and philanthropy. I am not sure how I could have improved participation in an open-discussion format (as planned in the second half of class): I assumed at a doctoral level this would be

Greed can cause a person to focus on the less important things in life. This is a prominent theme in the short story “The Devil and Tom Walker” by Washington Irving. Irving illustrates how awful Tom Walker treated others when he describes how he treats his horse, “He even set up a carriage in the fullness of his vain glory, though he nearly starved the horses which drew it; and as the ungreased wheels groaned and screeched on the axle trees, you would have thought you heard the sound of the poor debtors he was squeezing.” This quote shows how poorly he treated his horse, and how he did not care for his farm. The well-being of a living creature should take precedence over money, but Tom Walker was not focused on the important things in life.

I believe coaching is very important for the participants and students. Throughout my coaching sessions, I believe it is very important and significant that you put the students first and that they’re the top priority it is also very important to do what is best for these little athletes.

For my level two field experience, I was placed in a 10 grade Modern United States History class. The techniques I used to involve the students in the class included asking questions during direct instruction, small group discussion, and large group discussion, which included calling on groups at random, if no one volunteers. During direct instruction, the questions asked to the students were about the material they had already covered about the war. For the small group discussions, the students received three questions to discuss. These same questions were used in the large group discussions.

Don Marquis wrote an article titled “Why Abortion is Immoral.” He suggested that we address abortion in a larger discussion of the ethics of killing. Marquis believes killing is not wrong because it portrays the killer to be violent or because it leaves friends and relatives brokenhearted. Instead, killing is wrong mainly because of the effect it has on the victim.  Killing deprives the victim of life.

In the realm of sports psychology, there are two main theories of how coaching influences motivation, the Behavioral Approach to Coaching (BAC) and the Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Both theories work in different ways in order to increase motivation and produce desired behaviors from athletes.

One of the key to the successful teaching of physical education is the use of a broad range of approaches and methodologies. 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. There is a need to examine the teaching methods which will best enhance the achievement of the objectives, taking factors such as the content and context of the lesson into account, as well as the needs of the learner. Teaching means sharing, guiding, changing behavior, impressing, disciplining, counseling, directing and inspiring. Good teaching is a process of producing end products of

SOAR Essay “ A coach is someone who tells you what you don't want to hear, who has to see what you don't want to see, so you can be who you always known you could be.” Tom Landry, one of the greatest football coaches of all time, said this is what it takes to be a coach. A research done on Australian coaches shows that “Coaching has the potential to play a significant role in shaping an individual and community’s identity, culture, and knowledge.” Coaches play a very effective role not only on kids but on adults as well.
