Teaching styles

My observation let me see how a group of 4 teachers worked very well together. It showed me how each of their own styles/methods of teaching worked in the grand old scheme of things. They had their own methods, and the other teachers would respect that when a disciplinary method was being exercised. There was no undermining going on, and it seemed as if this small team of Physical Educators was working in a very efficient manner.

There was a teacher who emphasized safety and rules, not just in the gymnasium, but outside while doing sports too. This was their main focus and it seemed as if this carried on throughout the different units. Another teacher was all about getting everyone to participate in an even manner. This was great to see, their enthusiasms alone made me want to join in and play too. There was a teacher, who would allow a little more leniency than the others, but they had been there the longest and therefore he had a lot of respect as some of the parents had even had them as a teacher. The last teacher had a combination of leniency with strictness, which he used when the class thought they could get away with more than they should be.

It seemed as if all bases were covered and that the students would be subjected to many different teaching experiences.
