Setting up routines and building relationships with students
17th Feb 2016
Throughout my first few weeks at King's College I have focussed on building relationships and putting routines in place.
I am teaching a mixture of classes including Year 9 & 11 Core PE and Year 10 Health.
Setting up Routines:
- All classes are expected to be in class, changed and ready to start the lesson 5 minutes after the 5 minute bell
- All classes start with a roll and expectations/aims/outline of the lesson
- All classes end with coming back together as a class and reflecting back on the lesson. This may be what they have learnt, likes/dislikes & reminders for the next lesson
- All classes were given a grace period for weeks 1 & 2. Classes were warned that being late or having no gear will now be noted. Once they hit a combination of 3 they will be placed on after school detention
Building Relationships:
-I started at least one lesson with each of my classes completing ABL activities and getting to know my students. These included an introduction of myself and expectations, questions such as one thing they like and dislike about PE, what sport they have singed up to at school, what could I know about them in order to be a better teacher for them, ABL games such as pattern ball for learning names and the circle activity. (Circle activity = one person in the middle of the circle needs to say something about themselves, if it relates to someone else in the circle they need to swap places. Aim is to steal the spot of someone else who has moved and not end up in the middle)
-Things tend to be going well in terms of forming a relationships with most of my classes. One of my year 9 classes I haven't seen as much and am still learning student names. My Year 10 health class I am playing trial and error in terms of learning activities that best suit them & battling with screens
-Throughout my lessons so far I have been able to recognize priority learners and students that I may need to keep a closer eye on
