Artifact: PED 201 Lab
Date: Spring 2010
Reflection:
This Lab is from my PED 201 Lab
Our lab took place at St Mary’s
Elementary school in Cortland NY
At their after school program. When
Assessing the students at St. Mary’s
We watched how the students behaved
In a play setting, focusing on skill
Movement, physical activity and
Fitness of the children.
The information that I gathered on
Students indicates how skillful the
Students are in jump roping at different
Ages. A common occurrence was that
The older kids were more skilled in
Jump roping as they could do more
Advanced skills.
Being able to assess students will help
Me as a teacher in the future so that I
Can guide students in the correct direction
to try and master a skill as best as they can.
