  • Outside the Box: Creative Ideas for Common Equipment
    Outside the Box: Creative Ideas for Common Equipment Dr. Scott Klungseth, Director Beresford PRCE Thinking Outside-the-Box for Standards: Creative Ideas, Common Equipment Session is designed to help elementary/middle school classroom and PE teachers, and recreation professionals to experience “Out of the Box” activities to integrate hula hoops, scooters, and bean bags in meeting national/state standards. This equipment is common in programs – but many lack experience on how versatile this equipment is. Each activity is designed to help students succeed in all three learning domains. Each lesson has the potential for math, science, or language arts interaction. Many times in conducting professional development sessions for pre-school and elementary teachers, recreation leaders, and physical education teachers they indicate that they have many many hula hoops but do not know how to teach hula hooping or know other activities to use the hoops for. Additionally, they indicate that they have many scooters and noodles available to them but lack activities to integrate them. Below is a series of activities that can be created for general physical activity or specific physical education lessons. Many of which include standards, spelling, reading, and math lesson integrations. These are only basic descriptions. If you would like further lesson ideas please feel free to contact us at: [email protected] Hula Hoop Ring Toss With or without distance math integration This is an oversized ring toss game. Place two large cones or boxes at opposite ends of the ring toss area (or if you want a relay put a target only on one end).

  • Printing Versionapril 29 That Queue Is Just for White People[1]
    ‘That queue is just for white people. Is that one for black ones? Where do I go then? Mixed heritage children’s experiences of school Kirstin Lewis Institute of Education, University of London This thesis is submitted for the Degree of PhD 1 ABSTRACT In inner London 7.5% of the school population is of mixed heritage, yet little is known about their experiences in the education system. Data from the 2001 Census shows that over half of mixed heritage children under the age of 16 have social backgrounds that suggest a strong middle class dimension yet, as a group, they have persistently underachieved at school. This challenges associations between social class and success at school suggesting that other factors might well influence school experience. This thesis explores how mixed heritage children’s school experiences are shaped by the ways in which others perceive their identities and make assumptions about their lives, based mainly on the colour of their skin. It examines why some children are more able to develop the resilience to cope with these experiences than others. An inductive approach to data gathering was used. Exploratory interviews were conducted with an opportunity sample, semi structured interviews with education professionals and focus groups with a small-scale sample of mixed heritage children in an inner London Borough. Themes that emerged challenge suggestions that we have moved to a point where ethnic and racial groupings are less relevant than data on children’s social backgrounds, suggesting that all mixed heritage children, regardless of social background, experienced racial discrimination, teachers’ inaccurate perceptions about their identities and backgrounds and low expectations of their abilities and aptitude for learning.
