A list of community instruction opportunities follows. This list was formed from some of the places students have done this assignment in the past. The best site for your project will likely be one which you initiate based on your own interest area. Feel free to initiate your own teaching opportunity not listed here, just check it out with Dr. Chalmers before starting. The Volunteer/Community Service Program, located in Old Main 260 (650-3158) has additional opportunities. In selecting your work site you must ensure that you will be in a situation where you will be working with people (or a person), teaching them a motor skill (or skills) or helping them work on skills they have. The skill should not be too simple, or you will not need to use a variety of teaching techniques, and will have little to report on. You must discuss your role and goals with your work site supervisor when setting up the internship, to ensure that you can fulfill the requirements of the assignment. If in doubt, discuss your volunteer work with Dr. Chalmers before you spent time there. The use of public schools is only permitted for this assignment ONLY if you a student ACCEPTED into the PE pedagogy program and you already have your background security check. You must provide documentation to Dr. Chalmers that you have this background check. Students are also not allowed to teach other students a skill. The instruction of weight lifting is not allowed, it is too simple of a motor skill. The only exception to this exclusion of weight lifting instruction is for the instruction of elite competitive weight lifters.

Demonstrates that people and foremost try to get feedback from their eyes Even though their eyes may not be the best sources of information RULE 2) we tend to pay attention to visual information Vision dominates other sensory feedback systems. RULE 3) we attend to things which are MEANINGFUL (= understood)
