The following support the assignments and work conducted in this class.

2008 National Initial Physical Education Teacher Education Standards (NASPE)
Chapter 116. Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Physical Education

Texas State Board for Educator Certification (2003). Texas Physical Education Standards
PEDAGOGY AND PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES STANDARDS (EC-GRADE 12)
Standard I.* The teacher designs instruction appropriate for all students that reflects an understanding of relevant content and is based on continuous and appropriate assessment.

Class Procedures Requirements

Attendance is mandatory. You are expected to be in class, be on time, and remain the entire period.
It is your responsibility to obtain any material/assignment explanation, etc covered if you are not in class. (All ppts and assignments will be on blackboard).
Should you miss class for illness (or other documented reason), I am happy to meet and discuss questions you might have, however I will not review the entire day’s information. As this class meets only once a week, attendance is even more critical.
This is a professional preparation class. You are expected to display dispositions of a teaching professional. Unacceptable behaviors include:
Reading the paper/scrolling your phone
Texting/facebook, etc…
Leaving early/arriving late
Should you choose to engage in the above (or other inappropriate) behaviors, I will remind you about the UNT Student Code of Conduct. If a student’s behavior is disruptive to the class, actions which are in line with the UNT Student Code of Conduct will be enforced.

It is critical that you give this class the time it deserves (both KINE 4100 and 4101). This class should be a place where students and instructor can learn and grow together. Once you begin your observation, each class will begin with a “roundtable” discussion of observation experiences (both good and not so good). This will become part of your in-class experiences and assignments.

I hope that you will be able to learn from your classmates as well as from your text(s) and from me.

Other Important Information:

Academic Dishonesty: Cheating will not be tolerated in the class. You are not to receive

information from another student or give information to another student during a test or quiz. You are to use only your memory. Students caught cheating during an examination or quiz will be charged under the University's Code of Student Conduct. Among other punishments, students found guilty run the risk of having their score changed to a zero, receiving a grade of F for the course, and/or dismissal from the University. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, and facilitating academic dishonesty.

Cheating refers to collaborating on individual assignments and using unauthorized materials. Plagiarism refers to presenting ideas, words, or statements of another person without giving credit to that person. If you have questions about cheating or plagiarism, please see me – note: I am the Academic Integrity Officer for UNT…

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Information: Students have the right to expect their grades will be kept confidential. There are a few things, because of the size and/or nature of this class, the instructor must advise you of regarding collection and distribution of test results, quiz scores, homework assignments, roll sheets, projects, etc. During this class it may be necessary for you to pass your assignments forward to the instructor or it may be necessary for the instructor to call your name and then return your completed assignment to you by passing it across the room. The instructor, under the reasonable assumption guidelines, assumes students are collecting only their own materials. Every attempt will be made to keep your information Grades are confidential. Neither your course grades nor grades for any assignment will be posted in a way that could result in your being identified by other students or faculty members.

Assignment Expectations:

Written assignments must be typed, double spaced (if not lesson or unit plan), stapled in the upper left corner, include page numbers and a cover sheet. All students will have their own folder and assignments (not turned in on Blackboard) will be placed in the folder when asked for during class (day due). I expect assignments will be completed with proper grammar/spelling, appropriately and professionally presented, and contain clear expression of ideas.

You will receive a handout on each of the assignments listed below. The exams will be a midterm and a final exam.
