PE teachers vs. professional athletes
In addition to class discussion about comparing/contrasting teachers and athletes, I would like to continue the emphasis about the irony between these two specifically concerning money. Many of today's PE teachers in university's, high schools and elementary schools around the nation are developing criteria to hold students accountable for learning progress. Assessments such as rubrics, journals and port-folios. These assessments are used to give feedback and enhance the level of learning in all activities. Many staff during an interview will ask you how you plan on grading your students. These are positive changes within the PE department nationwide.
