What's Your Classroom Managing Style? are you a power over, under, two, or with?160 teachers at The Native American Grant Schools Association Symposium reflected on their coaching style and situations that called from changing it up!
Sports offer global, economic, social and cultural appeal. Rules are clear and consistent. Every field, arena, or court has defined boundaries, and every sport ball is simple in form, but unique in size.
Every academic discipline can be taught through a sports-theme, in any school, in any country across the globe. I know, because I've field-tested this program with kids across the U.S. and with colleagues internationally.
The curriculum content and program philosophy, of players/coaches/teams is readily transferred into one's own life. Do we work towards our personal best? Do we focus on the Game Day today? Do we take a risk, or do wait to get waved ahead by a coach? Do we trust our gut when we're in a slump to get out of it, or do we need input from a teammate or manager? When is it our call to maintain our 'batting stance" that offered us prior success?
Sports' themes connect to academic disciplines with real-life applications. Kids buy stuff, travel, and sustain injuries - so do players. One of the Powerhitter® centers, Equipment Manager aligns with math operations & measurement standards, as "players" record sizing data prior to ordering supplies. Can you really measure the span of your dominant hand (for a batting glove or mitt) by yourself? You need a teammate!
The Powerhitter® game plan offers real-world economics, too. Kids "get" advanced concepts, from supply chain, to unit pricing, to taxes. Students understand, retain, and apply advanced concepts and knowledge within a thematic curriculum that infuses the excitement of sports into learning.
Kids retain, and apply knowledge when they are motivated, interested, have fun, and relate to what they are learning. Powerhitter® Classroom Programs successfully blend social, academic, and recreational fundamentals with sports-themed enrichment and projects.
Set up is easy and teachers and players can follow the game plan as it works for their team.
Powerhitter® offers a proven game plan, materials, academic and movement curriculum, teammate philosophy, and enrichment for all learners. No need to reinvent a game plan that's fun and gets results! Classroom coaches find a ready-make program. Just set up 36 Centers around the room or on display boards, cut up specific center cards, copy student reproducibles, read the teacher's guide and your are in the game. Teachers: adjust to "players" needs. (Use Math centers if you teach Math/ use all centers if you teach all subjects. Some centers require weekly or daily completion.
