Physical Education Job-a-like at the American International School of Bucharest, March 25-27.I had a great time at AISB and learned a lot from different PE teachers, not only in CEESA, but around the world. Day 1 was the job-a-like portion of the conference where we learned about new technology we could use when teaching and coaching. Ideas on how to “flip” your practices in order to make the most of the short time we have with our student athletes. We shared games and activities we like to use in our classes. It would be a PE conference if we weren’t out playing games ourselves!Day 2 and 3 we learned a lot from Andy Vasily and Andy Dutton on a myriad of topics: movement composition, invasion games, using Twitter as a professional forum, how to make quick groupings, mindfulness, yoga, the power of provacations, and much more! I feel rejuvenated to try new things in my classes and we are planning a PE planning day in order to share ideas and look at our vertical alignment in PE at IICS.

Professional Development Philosophy @ IICS
“the most important factor affecting student learning is the teacher….seemingly more can be done to improve education by improving the effectiveness of teachers than by any other single factor”
(Wright, S,P., Horn, S, P., Sanders, W, L. 1997)
It is a fundamental expectation of all IICS staff members that they are willing and prepared to learn; not only how to improve their own capacity to elicit exceptional learning but also how to contribute to the learning of colleagues and to the development of IICS as an exceptional educational institution.
