MOSHAPE Better Together

Description:
Join us for an engaging session at the MOSHAPE Convention next year titled "Piece of Cake," where we will explore practical strategies and techniques for beginner teachers in physical education. Led by Adam McCauley, a passionate educator entering his second year of teaching at the age of 23, this interactive workshop will focus on making physical education enjoyable and accessible for both teachers and students.

Session Overview:
- Explore Beginner Teacher Strategies: Discover easy and effective teaching strategies tailored for new educators to create a positive and engaging learning environment.
- Build Classroom Autonomy: Learn fun and interactive activities that promote student autonomy and participation in physical education classes.
- Incorporate Psychomotor, Cognitive, and Affective Domains: Emphasize the importance of addressing all domains of learning in physical education instruction through practical examples and demonstrations.
- Implement "I Can" Statements: Utilize empowering "I Can" statements to guide student learning and encourage self-efficacy in physical activities.
- Collaborative Gameplay and Partner Elaboration: Engage in collaborative gameplay activities and partner discussions to foster teamwork, creativity, and communication skills.
- Closing Discussion and Reflection: Each group will have mini whiteboards to jot down ideas and reflections during gameplay, which will be shared in a closing discussion.

Attendees are invited to participate in hands-on activities, share insights, and explore innovative ways to make physical education a rewarding experience for both students and teachers. As a special treat, attendees can enjoy a piece of cake as they leave the session, symbolizing the idea that physical education can be as enjoyable and straightforward as a "piece of cake."

We look forward to seeing you at the "Piece of Cake" session and empowering beginner teachers to create engaging and impactful physical education experiences.
