Instruction Effective instruction in physical education provides students with educationally rich learning experiences that have the potential to improve motor performance, are rich in affective and cognitive content, provide maximum participation, and are appropriate to the age and level of development of each learner. Plans are written separately for different developmental levels. Written plans include specific learning objectives, learning experiences, and assessment criteria and procedures. The teacher has clear expectations for student learning. Expectations for appropriate behavior and consequences for inappropriate behavior are shared with students and are reinforced.
Students can work independently as well as cooperatively in a focused manner.
The teacher in an effective instructional environment in physical education presents and communicates tasks to learners effectively and accurately. Content is developed so students can be successful and see improvement. Learning experiences are modified appropriately to increase or decrease difficulty on an individual basis so that the proper level of challenge and success is provided for all students. Students are organized into groups to provide maximum practice. Sufficient equipment is available for maximum practice.
