ECYA/ENS: Exercise 5 - Health/PE/Leisure
Directions Introduction In this exercise, you will use your knowledge of health, physical education, and leisure to analyze a student profile and discuss goals and appropriate learning activities, which will provide opportunities for success and improved self-image and will foster independence. You will be asked to respond to three prompts. Criteria for Scoring To satisfy the highest level of the scoring rubric, your responses must provide clear, consistent, and convincing evidence of the following: -an in-depth analysis of a student profile and a thorough discussion of how this student may be affected in the areas of physical health, emotional health, and social development; -a thorough discussion of student goals in the areas of health education, physical education, and leisure education; and -an informed discussion of two learning activities directly related to the goals you identified that will provide opportunities for success and improved self-image and will foster independence. Directions You may preview all of the prompts by clicking on the “Next” button. The “Previous” button will enable you to return to any of the prompts in order to compose or revise your response in the space provided. Your response will automatically be linked to the prompt that is displayed. Profile John is an 8-year-old with spastic cerebral palsy that affects both sides of his body. The left side of his body is more limited in function than the right. He can walk independently for short distances (less than 100 yards). He can get up from the floor with assistance. He isn’t able to use both hands together, and he cannot use his left hand functionally. John spends at least 50% of the day in his wheelchair, as he tires easily. He cannot speak but does use a computerized voice output device for communication. The device needs to be mounted on a table. He comprehends two-step directions.
Prompts 1. Discuss ways in which the student identified may be affected in the areas of physical health, emotional health, and social development. Discuss one example for each area. Be specific. Be sure your response relates directly to the student profile. 2. Design school-based goals for this student in the areas of health education, physical education, and leisure education. State one goal for each area. Be specific in your discussion and be sure the goal is directly related to the strengths and needs of the student described in the student profile. 3. Design two developmentally appropriate learning activities that are directly related to the school-based goals discussed that will provide opportunities for success and improved self-image and will foster independence.
