Artifact: Motor Development Lab
Date: Spring 2010
Reflection: This lab is from PED 201, a course on Motor Development. In this lab we observed specific actions while instructing students to perform a variety of activities using the object control skills of throwing and catching. This artifact is important to my development as a teacher because it demonstrates the ability to utilized my knowledge of different stages of throwing and catching to measure a variety of ability levels. This ability is vital in helping to give students positive and corrective feedback to create a more confidence and competent child.
