COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES:
This one half semester course is designed to help second-year physical education
teacher preparation students further their pedagogical content knowledge and to
introduce principles of curriculum development for grades 9-12. Students will also be
introduced to appropriate practices for planning, teaching and evaluating high school
physical education. The approach to teaching used in the course is based on nationally
recognized appropriate physical education practices for high school students. The
information given in lecture will be reinforced and practiced in a 2-hour per week lab
experience at a high school site teaching students.
In addition, PHED 239: grades 9-12 is one (1) of four (4) modules (PHED 236: grades
K-2; PHED 237: grades 3-5; PHED 238: grades 6-8) that students will take in the yearlong course sequence. Students will be assigned two (2) modules in the fall and two (2)
modules in the spring. Each module must be successfully completed (C or better
grade) in order to matriculate for the pre-practicum and practicum experiences.
Upon completion of the course, students will be introduced
and be able to practice the identified indicators of the
Massachusetts Professional Standards for Teachers at the
high school level. PHED 239 students will be able to:
1. identify and demonstrate an understanding of the National
Standards and the MA State Curriculum Framework Standards.
2. develop an understanding of the Professional Standards for
Teachers (PSTs) by collecting supportive evidence for the MA
State Standards.
