I am in my 9th year teaching Physical Education at the Milton Elementary School. During my first two years, I split my day, working at both Milton and the Waterville Elementary School. During the summer of 2004, I completed my requirements to earn a Master's Degree in Education at the University of Vermont. UVM is also where I completed a post baccalaurette program for my teaching license in Physical Education. My undergraduate studies were completed at SUNY Brockport. I am a member of both, AAHPERD (national), and VAHPERD (state), Physical Education organizations. In addition to teaching, I am also the Varsity Boy's Soccer and Boy's Middle School basketball coach at Winooski High School. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, biking, snow-shoeing, traveling and spending time with my family.

What
are the expectations for my child in PE?
The goal of PE is for the students to begin to learn about their bodies and how to use them correctly. This will lead the students to learn the skills and concepts necessary for a life-time of physical activity. To do this students need to:
1. Attempt every challenge without saying "I can't".2. Respect everyone in class at all times.
3. Make safe decisions.
4. Be enthusiastic every class.
5. Bring proper clothing and sneakers.
6. Learn ways to be physically active for a lifetime.
7. Have Fun!!!

What
is my child doing this month in PE?
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PE WITH MR. PAYSON:
December 3, 2008
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PE WITH MR. PAYSON:
All 5th and 6th graders were given a take home fitness test this week. These are due back the first PE class of next week. Please remind your child to finish the test and to bring both packets back to school. Students can ask their parents for help in reading the informational packets. These students also started a tennis unit that will continue through January.
4th grade and 3-4 multi-age classrooms began a badminton unit. Basic skills like the ready position, forehand/backhand returns and volleys, and the overhead drive shots will all be taught so students can start playing games the week prior to vacation. The straight 3rd graders kicked-off a volleyball unit this week. The ready position, underhand serve, forearm pass, and overhead pass will all be taught in December. The unit will culminate in 4 versus 4 games.
I have posted a short 5 minute (or less) parent survey on my web page. I would appreciate if those of you who have access to the MES site would complete it so we can obtain some parental feedback on our PE program. Once you are in the MES website, click on teacher webpages, then click on Mr. Payson's webpage. The survey link will be at the top of the page. Click Parent Survey and then complete the questionnaire.
How is
my child being assessed in PE?
3rd - 4th grade students in Physical Education are assessed in three areas throughout the school year:
|
|
|
|
|
Students provide a daily score on their social and affective behaviors. How they challenge themselves, manage their behavior, and treat others, are all parts of this daily score. |
Students will be asked to demonstrate the major skills and concepts of the units that they are involved in. |
This is a whole class assessment. Each classroom has a chance to earn an All-Star Award if they do a great job with their effort during Physical education. A star chart is kept for each trimester of the school year. If a class earns 12 awards during a trimester, they earn a free choice day where the class gets to choose the activity for that day. |
|
Parents will receive a summary of their daily scores along with a detailed explanation of what each level means after each tri-mester. |
Parents will receive tri-semester report cards detailing the most recent assessments that were performed. |
Classroom teachers receive a certificate if their class earns a PE All-Star Award that day. |
5th and 6th grade students in Physical Education are assessed in five areas throughout the school year:
*STUDENTS RECEIVE AN OVERALL PHYSICAL EDUCATION GRADE EACH TRIMESTER. THIS IS AN AVERAGE OF THEIR SELF MANAGEMENT, UNIT SKILLS, UNIT CONCEPTS, AND WRITTEN TEST SCORES.
|

Students have a written test to conclude each unit during the school year. Take home study guides are provided a week before each written test. Some units have take home written tests. |
Students will be asked to demonstrate the major concepts within each unit and will be assessed on a rubric. |
