My Top 10 Key Things to Remember for Teaching HPE in K- 6
1. Look to see that all students wearing running shoes 2. Learn the names of all the students 3. Be enthusiastic so students feed off of you 4. Physical education should be fun for students 5. When providing feedback, also include what they are doing well 6. Model skills for students 7. Provide clear instructions for the activity, so students have a clear understanding of what to do 8. With these clear instructions, provide little room for questions so that students have more activity time 9. Have a strategy to bring the students back together at the beginning and after an activity (i.e., "Stand by me") 10. Forming a circle with the students makes class management easier |

Effective Elements of Instruction
- "Learning Outcomes that are observable and clearly define content to be learned.
- Determine Instructional Entry Level and develop a progression of learning activities that lead to final outcome.
- Use Anticipatory Set designed to focus students on learning outcomes.
- Deliver Meaningful Skill Instruction that maximizes three key points, limits instructions to 30 to 60 seconds; presents information in easy to understand form; and separates management and instructional episodes.
- Monitor Student Performance ensuring students are on-task and practicing correctly.
- Use Teaching Cues which are precise; short and action-oriented; and, integrated.
- Demonstrate Skills as teacher or using students.
- Check for Understanding using hand signals; asking questions answered in choral response; direct forthcoming activities to all students; and use peer-assessment techniques.
- Offer Guided Practice that allows students repeated opportunities checking for correct form immediately after instruction.
- Bring Closure that reviews learning asking for key points, demonstrations or reflections.

Daily Physical Activity Instruction
EFFECTIVE DPA
> Build on student interest for motivation > Aim for quick and smooth transitions > Emphasize inclusion, safety, and activity > Focus on FITT |
FITT
Frequency of the activity - every day Intensity - ensure the student;s heart rates are elevated or their muscles work to a level of fatigue Time - 20 minutes or shorter period to accumulate to 20 minutes daily Type - aerobic or anaerobic |
(Mueller, 2015)
From (Mueller, 2015)
"DPA MUST:
✓ Consist of at least 20 minutes of sustained moderate - vigorous physical activity every school day ✓ Be scheduled during instructional time every school day ✓ Be planned and adapted, as appropriate, to ensure that students with special needs can participate ✓ Include a warm-up and cool-down ✓ Be only one component of health and physical education, and must not replace the teaching of the health and physical curriculum |

Teaching Styles in Physical Education & Mosston's Spectrum
"The Spectrum incorporates ten landmark styles based on the degree to which the teacher or the student assumes responsibility for what happens in a lesson. This describes a continuum, where at one extreme is the direct teacher-led approach and at the other lies a much more open-ended and student centered style where the teacher acts only in a facilitator role.
The teaching styles are:
