TPSR believes that in teaching physical education we can teach
life skills as well. Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility is about
using physical education as a means to teach a code or a discipline to
students. It is the intention that this code becomes integrated and internalized
by the students and gives them structure for their lives, values,
inner-discipline and that these skills are not only seen in the gym but
are transferred to other aspects of their lives. (https://www.icsspe.org)
“The procedures and routines in the gym are based on my need to facilitate effective teaching. A procedure is created for whatever needs to be done in the gym to move efficiently and maximize instructional time.
“Prior to the changes in the gym, my classes were difficult. I was working myself to death reminding students every day of things I needed them to do. I did all of the work. I set up games, moved equipment, and handled paperwork. It was exhausting! I did not enjoy physical education, nor did the students.
“Since I have implemented the new management plan and made some changes with all-inclusive games and music, participation levels are near 100 percent!
