MYP Physical & Health Education 


Picture
I have four years experience as the Department Head for PE at I-Shou International School (Taiwan) and have taught MYP PE throughout this time.  I have experienced MYP Authorization (March, 2012) and I am now with my PE team in the midst of writing new MYP PE units for the 'Next Chapter'. I am an IB MYP PE Moderator and I have just completed professional development for this role.  We have an exciting programme that involves swimming, health & wellness units, leadership, physiology, and dance to name a few. Delivery of PE is through technologies such as Moodle, Managebac, video analysis, QR Codes and Apps.  

Here is an example of using video analysis from a grade 10 student in MYP 5 - Biomechanics unit. I added this unit in with a physiology unit to lead students into taking DP Sports Science.

I believe that technology is an excellent pedagogical tool that enhances our PYP, MYP and DP PE programmes.

I have been teaching SEHS for two years which I have found exciting and challenging. My first year I had only 5 students which increased to 9 and now this year (2014-15), I have 16 students taking the course. The key to the programme is to be able to relate all of the content and practical work to sports concepts. I also introduced biomechanics and physiology into the grade 10 units to create interest.  



I am more than happy to share my resources and collaborate with other educators. Please use the contact section of this site.  

Social Responsibility & School Community

I collaborate with all staff throughout our 3 programmes (PYP, MYP and DP). I care about our students and teachers well being and promote many health programmes within my school community such as friendly student/teacher games at lunch-time, showing of sports highlights in our coaches room and providing after-school training programs. Below is a quick movie I made with our student council on sun safety. I am responsible for developing and implementing our first school wide sun safe policy and promoting students to make good choices to be sun safe. 
I also organise many teacher v student games to promote good sportsmanship and community.
