Teacher Performance Objectives During the lesson the teacher will:
Be enthusiastic in coaching, teaching and refereeing during activities by bringing good
energy as well as good pedagogical content knowledge of the skills and strategies.
Special Considerations What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the
students in this class?
Students need to always be aware of their surroundings and positioning on the court to
avoid running into each other too hard.
Students need to be aware of who has the ball and be ready at any time to catch a
pass. Also the student passing the ball should make sure their teammate is looking
when they go to pass them the ball.
