This document describes three warm-up games for different stages of physical education. The first game is called "Animal Family" for early Stage 1, where students find others of the same animal group. The second game is "The Magical Cardboard" for Stage 1, where students work together to transport cardboard to a finish line. The third game is "The Witch" for Stage 2, where one student is the witch trying to tag others who must jump over a hat. The games involve locomotor skills, cooperation, spatial awareness, and decision-making. Equipment includes blindfolds, cardboard, hats, and volleyballs.
The document provides details for 6 lessons on action hero stunt training for grades 4-8. Each 80-minute lesson includes objectives, a warm-up, skill instruction, demonstration of skills in a routine, and assessment. Warm-ups include games to develop agility and teamwork. New skills are taught progressively and include rolls, balances, cartwheels and spotting techniques. Lessons culminate in students demonstrating stunt routines and being assessed on their skills.

The methodology includes an introductory activity using a video to motivate students and a chalk talk where students will label body parts on a mural and discuss what would happen if a part was missing. Key body parts like the nose, ears, neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, wrists, and back are defined with their functions.
Bree Hohnbaum discusses her journey to becoming a teacher. She shares experiences from her childhood education, struggles in college, and finding her passion for teaching. She realized in 7th grade she wanted to be a teacher after learning about the impact teachers can have. Though she struggled in her early years of college, she found success at Community College of Western Idaho and is now studying to become an elementary school teacher. She believes that education can change the world and that teachers are the future.
Ms. Hohnbaum welcomes students to her first grade class. She aims to prepare students for second grade by adhering to a strict but fun schedule. Ms. Hohnbaum is in her first year of teaching and enjoys camping in the summer. She looks forward to meeting parents at upcoming events like open house and a welcome back potluck. Students will learn skills like addition, telling time, and writing poetry over the course of the year using technology like smart boards and computers.
This document contains a teaching mission statement from Bree Hohnbaum. It discusses that learning should be fun, challenging, rewarding, infinite, and effective when students are actively engaged. The mission is to help students want to get an education and be excited about learning both in and beyond high school to become active contributors to society. The vision is for students to feel they matter, not be afraid to participate, be excited about education, want to actively engage, and see education as important like the teacher does.
Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of teachersbreeellen22
油
Teachers are primarily motivated intrinsically rather than extrinsically. Several studies found that teachers are most motivated by seeing their students learn and succeed, and derive satisfaction from helping students grow. While factors like salary, benefits, and job security provide some extrinsic motivation, intrinsic rewards like positive relationships with students and the joy of teaching were much stronger motivators. Some extrinsic factors like supportive administration and recognition can boost motivation as well, but intrinsic motivation from student success is the dominant factor that keeps teachers engaged in their work.
The document is a student's statement of informed beliefs essay discussing their views on teaching diversity in the classroom. It covers five main sections: that all students can learn, the importance of teacher expectations, connecting student learning to their social ecology, promoting cultural diversity instruction, and adapting the curriculum for all learners. The student emphasizes the importance of understanding each student's strengths and backgrounds in order to create a welcoming classroom environment where all students feel they can succeed.

This paper explores programs and strategies for helping at-risk students succeed academically and socially. It defines at-risk students as those facing challenges like poverty, abuse, mental health issues, pregnancy, or other obstacles. The paper outlines several programs available in Idaho and elsewhere, including ARISE which provides after-school life skills training, Englishton Park Academic Remediation and Training Center which uses wilderness activities to help students, and Success For All which provides tutoring and support. It also discusses the benefits of online schools, peer mentoring, and bringing in motivational speakers like Jeff Yalden who was once at-risk himself. The paper argues that various support programs can help prevent at-risk students from dropping

APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network (SWWE Network)
Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

K-2.PE.1.1.2 Demonstrate smooth transitions
between sequential locomotor,
non-locomotor, and manipulative skills (e.g.

complex manipulative skills (e.g.,

progress toward
achieving mature form in the more complex
manipulative skills
(e.g., foot dribble, overhand throw, kicking, etc.).
