Physical educators, along with many other educators choose to reward their students when excelling, improving, or succeeding in class. Some physical educators choose to reward their students with a "free day", meaning they get one and any day off of PE that they choose. Sometimes it is good for students to take a day off of PE and not exercise everyday, but if students do not have PE everyday is this appropriate? Is it appropriate ever? If we are rewarding our students with eliminating physical activity for the day, then how our we supposed to teach them to enjoy physical activity? Should this ever be used? What are other forms of appropriate rewards? |

After teaching a 2-3 lesson plan I like to give my students an "elective day". This is a day they can choose from 3-4 options. It is always controlled and monitored. This give me the opportunity to see who are the leaders and followers. Who has trouble socializing, how well they can organize themselves and if they can assess themselves in whatever activity they choose. |

Every fifth day I give them options. They have to do a half mile before they choose. I have kids that will dance or hula hoop or jumprope most of the time. The way school is structured now children need some social time to make friends and learn to get along with others. I have observed many many kids finally learn how to jumprope or hula hoop or make a basket on those days. |
