My health class is one of the brightest looking classrooms in the entire school. As you walk into my classroom there will always be a different quote on the door that my students will see as they walk in. It will be something inspiration or just something to make them smile. The carpet is blue and the walls are white, but when I put up all my fun stuff for the unit I will be teaching up, then they won't be white anymore. The unit that I will be teaching during that time will be covered all over the classroom. For example, for my nutrition unit I will have the big food pyramid poster, which is covered in all colors. I will also a poster that says on it "You are what you eat!" On it will be two different body shape outlines of someone who is fit and healthy compared to being overweight. Inside the fit and healthy body outline will be the many nutritious foods that your body needs. In the overweight body outline, it will be filled with all different kinds of junk food that is nutrient dense and high in calories. There will also be a physical activity section on one of my walls during this unit. There will be some kind of quote that will help motivate my students to get active, and then I will put many pictures of professional athletes around it with big smiles. With all the different posters my room will be nice and colorful and it will be that way for all my other units as well. My room will be so colorful and happy that there is no way you couldn't smile if you walked in it.
My students will be so excited to come to my class. There will have bad days, but they will feel a sense of comfort when they walk in my classroom and they receive a big smile from me. My students will be very participative, because health is such a fun subject to learn. They will even get a chance to be humorous because of the many fun topics. If by chance any of my students fell asleep during my class they will wake up with quite a surprise, which I haven't decided yet, but it will be good. During my human sexuality unit, the students will start off being a little shy, but I will make it a lot more entertaining for all of them. This will help them be open up so much that they will be enjoying every minute of learning about human sexuality. Overall, my students are going to be very entertaining for me.
The parents will be always be very helpful. They will always be asking how their child can do better in my class. They will also help my students apply what they are learning in my classroom. For example again on the nutrition unit. They will strive to make healthier meals because of what their child is learning in class. However, if this was really going on at home then there wouldn't be so many obese children, but that is my ideal parents is that they are very helpful with their child.
The colleagues that I will mainly be working with is the other health teachers. Each one of them is just a fun bright personality that loves health as much as me. We love eating lunch together and talking about what lessons worked and what lessons didn't. We give each other many different ideas on how to teach different lessons. Anything we come up with, we share it! We all work so nicely and are vert helpful with each other and we become close friends and just love our chats all together.
I will use the many different teaching techniques that I learned in Educational Psychology, but the main one will be creating a community of learners. The students will be teaching me as much as I am teaching them. We will all be actively involved in everything we are learning together to make it a happy environment. I will also use all of Gardner's multiple intelligence theory in my lessons. The first day of class I will handout a multiple intelligence test and figure out what ways I need to teach for each one of my students. After finding all the different intelligences I will be able to use all of them in every lesson. This way each child is learning by using different mulitple intelligence techniques. This will make it a very active class that will be enjoyed by all of my students.
The technologies that I will use are for sure going to be a class website. I will probably use blogger.com to list everything that will be going on in the class and what we will be learning about each day. I will also be using dvds, projectors, and powerpoints that will benefit my different lessons. The students would be able to e-mail me whenever they needed help or had any questions.
With my content being health my class goals would be to mainly make a comforting environment for my students. To many kids today don't have the best homelife and I want my students to feel like that they can come to me for advise, help, or even if they just need to talk. They need to feel so much love from me when they walk through my door. Especially since I am a health teacher because the students could be struggling with many different health problems and they want help, such as alcohol, drugs, or even sexual activity. My ultimate goal is for my students to feel like they can come to me with any problem.
Overall, I hope to teach my students the basic health standards of life. With the knowledge I will give them they will be able to live a long, healthy lifestyle that will improve their quality of life forever.
