Standard 6

Component: 6.c

Describe strategies, including the use of technology, for the promotion and
advocacy of physical education and expanded physical activity opportunities.

Artifact: Advocacy Project

Date: Fall 2018

Reflection: My ability to demonstrate knowledge of promotion/advocacy

strategies for physical education was assessed in PED 382 School Fitness Based
Programing. In this class I worked on my advocacy project (above) which promoted
the use of technology and encouraged opportunities to stay physically active outside
of class.

My advocacy project relates to Component 6.c in multiple ways. First, I listed on

the handout a couple of online resources students could use to keep up their healthy
lifestyle (MyPlate) as well as resources that list tons of activities to work on outside
of class. Along with online resources, I gave the students names of sports
teams/clubs that students can join to stay physically active

Promoting expanded physical activity opportunities and the use of technology is

important for a physical educator because being able to relate with your students
through technology is a huge benefit. Everyday technology gets bigger and bigger
so it smart to stay with the times as an educator. Also promoting outside physical
activity is a benefit because the more attached students get to sports/activities the
more attentive and enthusiastic they are in class.
