Major Project Considerations
It is week 4 and I have been enjoying (!) the readings so far – cause for pausing and chewing over what I am teaching at the moment and how much thought that has gone into the how and the why of the how. I am arriving at the same point in my chewing – choking on the lump of not-much-thought!
But then I swallow the lump down and tell myself that I do the things I do because of my years of experience telling me that they are effective ways to do things. But then the lump comes back up and I have to acknowledge that a re-evaluation, a closer look is due, which leads me to the major project and the three days between me and the due date for the proposal.
Will a coaching plan for a junior boys basketball team fit? I will have to carefully analyse the players to see what skills are needed, I will need to carefully structure that skill development to allow for improvements in fitness and ability and I will need to choose carefully how best to introduce the new skill. The win/loss record at the end of the season might even figure in my evaluation.
In terms of the ibstpi ID Competencies I can see elements of my program design fitting into the four sections. As for the ADDIE model, I definitely have analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation needs as a part of the coaching plan.
There, enough chewing! Only three days…
