#EdCampPE - A Different Approach
All Began in May 2016 & still growing!
Created by Lori Minka - Inspired by Ideas From Twitter, The Seconday PE Voxer Chat PLN, and Innovative Teachers and Consultants That Have Shared Their Message
A model copied off of the #Edcampedu movement and adapted for PE. I'm Excited to combine the ISTE Standards with the Physical Education Standards, and I am currently going through a trial run as we speak! Working out the kinks one day at a time! Trying to add more assessment to keep it educationally sound in tracking what students know, understand, and can do! This SMORE is hyperlinked to assist you! What I've noticed after adding in more teacher assessments is that the enjoyment of learning something new with their groups seemed to dwindle! More tweaking and experimenting to come this 2019-2020 school year!
FLIPPED GENIUS HOUR CONCEPT WITH STUDENTS CLAIMING THE 80% TIME TO CONNECT, COLLABORATE, AND CREATE
We've had some great #EdCamps so far, but the most unique #EdcampPEClass units to date:
Gardening in PE
Mindfulness and Mediation
Ballet
Further Support, Ideas, and Inspiration Came From the Following People Below
What today's classroom should include
The image above was Tweeted by George Couros the Author of the Innovators Mindset What a great read to help teachers create and design more meaningful learning experiences for their students. Student voice, choice, reflection, innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, self-assessment, and connected learning. #EdCampPEClass is all of those things!
Empower your students to collaborate, lead, and succeed
In order for students to lead the class, help their peers, and maximize their time on task, they need to be given privileges and responsibilities that empower them to make decisions on their own. Learn Like a Pirate
Glenn Robbins Voxcast was the clincher for me to begin this process
This Episode of Jorge Rodriquez's Phys. Ed Voxcast was the "hook" I needed to change how I was teaching. At the 33:35-minute mark I knew I had to find a new way. This is truly where this EdCampPE Model began! It just sounded amazing!
10 STEPS TO SUCCESS WHEN RUNNING #EDCAMP PE CLASS
- Give students the opportunity to facilitate, coach, or lead units - ours are two weeks long
- Have the facilitators, coaches ask for volunteers to perform a job (athletic trainer, equipment manager, statistician and scorekeeper, timer)
- Require facilitators to have a game plan (lesson plan)
- Use a learning management system like Seesaw or Schoology to allow teacher to be in each group daily without actually being there.
- Require a final product or project that incorporates using technology
- Teachers: Assist facilitators with documents, links, handouts if they're struggling
- Have students reflect after each EdCamp and incorporate their ideas into the next unit
- Have students design and create as much as possible - see logo below!
- Have whole group discussions about "How Tos": Communicate, Collaborate, & Create!
- Encourage students to speak as much as possible and use PVLEGS as a guide to public speaking!
