β A lot has been said about the power of #physed when trying to help students develop a sense of responsibility.
π But how do we intentionally go about this?
𧡠Here's a THREAD on the key teaching strategies of the Teaching Personal & Social Responsibility (TPSR) model! π
π First off, an overview of TPSR.
π― The purpose of TPSR is to help young people learn to take control of their own well-being and development, to be efficient in their social environment and to learn how to be sensitive and responsive to the wellbeing of others.
π The model is based on five levels of responsibility:
π Respect for others.
πͺ Effort
π§ Self-direction
π€ Caring for others.
π Transfer
π― The goal is to help students develop competence in levels 1-4 and then apply what they've learned outside of #physed.
9οΈβ£ Ok, let's get into TPSR teaching strategies:
π Modelling Respect
β Setting Expectations
π Opportunities for Success
π€ Fostering Social Interactions
π Assigning Tasks
π₯ Promoting Leadership
π’ Giving Choices & Voice
π― Student Roles in Assessment
π Promoting Transfer
π MODELLING RESPECT
Teachers should model respectful behaviour towards everyone, both inside and outside of the classroom.
π Examples: Making eye contact, using active listening, calling people by their names.
β SETTING EXPECTATIONS
Teachers should explain behavioural expectations clearly and use examples to make sure all students understand.
π Examples: Practicing classroom management procedures, providing visual cues, making use of printable resources.
π OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS
Teachers should structure lessons so that all students can experience success.
π Examples: Differentiating equipment, modifying game rules/constraints, inviting students to share answers in group discussions.
π€ FOSTERING SOCIAL INTERACTIONS
Teachers should structure learning activities in ways that promote positive social interactions.
π Examples: Promoting conflict resolution skills, being purposeful with student grouping, teaching peer-assessment norms.
π ASSIGNING MANAGEMENT TASKS
Teachers should assign specific responsibilities or tasks that facilitate the lessons.
Teachers should allow students to experience leading or being in charge of a group.
π Examples: Inviting students to demonstrate skills, assigning students as team coaches.
π’ GIVING CHOICES & VOICES
Teachers should provide students with opportunities to be heard and have a say in the development of the program.
π Examples: Providing activity options, inviting students to suggest new rules, requesting feedback on teaching.
π― STUDENT ROLES IN ASSESSMENT
Teachers should allow students to play an active role in their own assessment.
π Examples: Defining assessment criteria with students, having students self-assess, inviting students to set goals for their own learning.
π PROMOTING TRANSFER
Teachers should directly address how the skills and responsibilities being developed in class can be applied outside of #physed.
π Examples: Linking learning to character development, inviting students to share prior experiences, group discussions
π Being mindful of the different teaching strategies related to the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility model can help you be more effective in regard to help students develop deeper higher of responsibilty.
π Ultimately, this will help them thrive in life.
