Intrapersonal intelligence refers to someone who learns through self-reflection, inner thought, dreaming, aspiring, and setting personal goals. This type of person is more self-motivated and thrives when taking on individual work. Some students simply learn better when they can do it at their own pace. That is why partners or small groups are not always utilized in PE class. We often times complete individual workouts in class. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves, yet go at their own pace. I teach them to strive to improve, and to set their own personal goals for the day. The students realize that every person is unique in their ability and fitness level, so it makes no sense to judge another classmate’s level of performance.
Students also have opportunity to learn more in PE through the website and this blog. As long as they have access to the internet, they will have that alone time to contemplate various health issues. Personally, I love to sit, read, listen, and think on my own about various issues in the health and wellness world. This time has become a very valuable, meaningful aspect of my life.
I just wanted to say hi, and to thank you for starting a blog/web site. It is neat as a parent to see and learn what their kids are learning first hand. My older two kids have you for a gym teacher and love looking at your web site as well. Thanks for all the very intersting information on here. We have been striving to live and eat healthier, so I find it interesting.
