I’m currently a student at Kent State University and recently observed a secondary education teacher struggle to keep his students focused on an activity. Students were participating in a track and field lesson, but appeared to be just going through the motions. There effort was minimal and students didn’t seem to be challenged. As a future teacher I’m concerned that this will be a problem I’ll face in the future, so I’m wondering what techniques have worked well in your past experiences to keep students involved and challenged during a track and field lesson? |

One way to get the students interested and into the lesson would be to present them with a specific or personal goal and/or challange. Also, throwing in a little competition usually gets students focused on the activity. |

I think that practice makes perfect. Over time you will find out for yourself what works and what doesn't. As the teachers you student teach with successful games and activates that they use. There are a lot of P.E. teachers that if you talked to, I’m sure wouldn’t mind sharing their trade secrets with you. |
