Professional Goals PS 3

L. Suttie

#1 Goal and Rational: To develop a consistent and open relationship with students parents and guardians. Communication between teacher and parents can help aid in the students success in class, as well as create a supportive atmosphere for both the students and parent. Parent involvement and support helps to promote and maintain student success. Strategies Posting various assignments, rubrics and handouts onto Home Logic to allow parents to see what assignments their children have in my classes. Sending permission forms, and information forms, home to parents in plenty of time for them to contact me.

All students bring back signed permission forms, and all parents receive information sheets. Development of parent teacher relationships with numerous parents, with ongoing communication.

#2 Goal and Rational: To introduce a wide variety of physical activity options to students, all with the major goal in mind of Doing it daily. The more activities that students are exposed to in a safe environment, the more likely they are to discover the type of physical movements they enjoy. When students enjoy being active they are more likely to be active for life and live a healthy lifestyle, all done in a safe and secure environment, both physically and emotionally. Not all students appreciate sports or specific activities, so a wide variety of activities will allow students to see the broad opportunities for being active in their life. A clear understanding of why we are doing specific exercises and activities will allow students to see the benefits of physical activity, and promote Doing it daily.

Students begin to realize the various importance of activity, and arent asking, why are we doing this? after a while. Students get to do numerous activities at different times, more than just playing sports.

#3 Goal and Rational: I aim to encourage and promote spiritual development and faith in students everyday lives. I also anticipate guiding students to participate in and maintain a Catholic way of life.

#4 Goal and Rational: To introduce, encourage, and foster an interest and knowledge about FNMI culture and people. Including FNMI tasks into physical education through cross-curricular lessons and cultural exemplars, allowing students more insight into FNMI people. Strategies Use of our school resources that are available to me, in order to incorporate FNMI games and culture into Physical Education, as well as my other courses. Ask students for cultural games that will not only include other cultural games, but be a great opportunity to incorporate FNMI culture and games. Teaching students about the northern games that I have played will be both educational and fun for students. Timeline Discuss the various resources available to me before classes begin, and begin to make plans within the first month of school, doing a thorough lesson of various FNMI games before Christmas. Students can begin brainstorming cultural games after cross country is done near the end of September, and then we can use these games as warm up games, or play each game on a particular day. When crosscountry is done and we have a day to play organized games, once I have the materials we can play northern games.
