Management is an important factor in teaching any subject, but especially in P.E. Making sure you have smooth transitions is very important in management. Whether or not you have smooth transitions can make or break a class. By having smooth transitions the kids have more time to actually be physically active. Having clear signals is important too. It makes the class more enjoyable if everyone knows what is going on, and everyone is well behaved. Another factor that is important in class management is having effective distribution, use, and clean up of the equipment used in your lessons. Setting the equipment far enough away from the students is important. It removes temptation, and doesn't get in the way when you are participating in activities.
Instruction is also important component of teaching. As a teacher it is important to give meaningful and specific feedback. That way the student knows exactly what they are doing right, and how they can improve. Not using jargon is something I have struggled with, but I am getting better. Eliminating jargon is important, it makes you sound more professional when you aren't using it. Giving and repeating cues throughout the lesson is vital. If you are teaching younger kids it's important to give them simple cues that they can understand, and continue to repeat them so they remember them.
For next semesters teaching I am going to work on eliminating jargon from my speech. I also plan on working on giving specific and meaningful feedback to my students. There are so many aspects of teaching that I have the basics of, but now for next semester I'm going to work on polishing those areas.
