The article above speaks of inclusive physical education but specifically from the perspective of elementary school-aged students with disabilities. The article also delves further into what activities made the disabled students feel positive towards physical education and which activities made them have negative feelings. I believe that this article supports my inclusive education based teaching philosophy because it highlights the importance of modifications and inclusion in physical health education. Not only that but it is an extremely useful resource to have in my teaching toolkit because it is a perspective that I do not have.

Relevant Assignments

The above linked Person Education Essay focusses on A.S Neill’s Summerhill school where students are self-governed and students can learn where, when and what they want. This connects to my teaching philosophy in how Summerhill encouraged students to pursue their academic passions, and how it highlights the significance of students having free time.

For many years I have spent time daydreaming of the perfect school so I was very excited for the above assignment where we were asked to design a school, with a curriculum, experiences, aims for service, philosophy, and instructional methods. The School Design Proposal I created encompasses what I believe are important features in schooling and dives into the importance of personal satisfactory education.

The above planning assignment features a lesson plan for a Volleyball unit that I created. While the lesson was made to be inclusive I have also added possible modifications and preemptive measures that should be taken to make sure that all students thrive. I believe this assignment ties into my teaching philosophy by how it displays ways that I plan on teaching inclusively.
