Evaluating Your Leadership Strategies

 Ka mau te wehi!

I have been really pleased in your growth as leaders over the last three lessons you have devoted to training your 9M  Fitness groups.

Now I have two blogging tasks for you.

1.  I would like you to post one of your  evaluative reflections here for the week.
2. The second expectation I have is that you respond/feedback to two  blogs belonging to your classmates.

Just as I expect your reflections  will be carefully considered and constructed, I have high expectations that your comments and feedback will be.....

Positive        Thoughtful       Helpful

Your next collaborative challenge - Methods of Training

Kia ora ano oku tauira pukumahi

In our Google Meet yesterday I introduced this document.
METHODS OF TRAINING

 Everyone who attended  (Grace,Sammy,Teina,Hori,Tipene,Sophia,Teyja) chose the method they were prepared to research and provide information about. This way we can continue to learn from and teach teach other about the different ways of improving specific fitness components. For those who were not in the Google Meet - look on the doc and see what you have been allocated.

Sammy and Sophia have already completed their contribution. Kia ora korua.Teina and Hori are completing theirs. Heare tonu korua.

I'm so happy (and proud) right now

He aha ai? -Why?
The 'common purpose' I asked you to commit to was to provide information on  Components of Fitness. On opening the above document you will see that EVERY individual  who was delegated or volunteered for a component, completed their task well. Consequently, we now have a collaborative document which all your classmates can learn from,can seek further detail from and can train from!
He mihi  maioha ki nga kaimahi katoa!

So,  Sophia, Ameyah, Teina,Kilani,Sammy,Tipene,Grace,Teyja and Tamarangi

I would like you to all to read this co-constructed document and make a positive comment here to any  of your classmates about the information they have provided for you AND to keep blogging about your training. See you in  Thursday's Google Meet.

Your teaching Assignment - Components of Fitness

Kia ora ano koutou

There are 11 - yes 11 components of fitness and each component can be tested to ascertain your level in that SPECIFIC component. Fortunately,many training methods target more than one component as most components overlap.
One item on the agenda of our Google Meet for Wednesday was to  choose a  component of fitness to research and make a presentation to the group.
If you were absent from the meet ,I shared the document for you to download for everyone
Here is a link to that document your classmates from Level 2 and Level 3 PE are co-constructing to help you understand the various Components of Fitness   and how to test and train for improve each component. Sammy,Tamarangi and Sophia have already contributed some helpful information . Use the links they have provided to include VARIETY and SPECIFICITY to your lockdown training.

    

Kia kaha koutou

Wahanga Tuarua Welcome Back!

Genuinely, honestly, without a word of a lie - I was so happy to see you all in the Google Meet
today. I think I might even have missed you. Pono!

Anyhow,further to the instructions I gave you in our Google meet I want you to do the following
before our next online meeting on Friday 17 April 12.

1. Go into the post Maori World Views and follow the prompts there.Yes - your responses will  challenge your sense making and predictive thinking processes but if it was easy then you aren’t learning.Although you are not responsible for the Risk Analysis Management (RAM) Plan for the Cross Country you have to EVALUATE both the RAM and it’s implementation 

so you MUST be familiar with every aspect in order to evaluate it.

2. Go into the Training to Lead to the Cross Country post and read why and how you should be training. Ensure you read Sophia’s posts as she is developing a very concise way of including details pertaining to distance run, duration and training heart rate (THR)                                                                                                 

Training responses are specific to the way you train. Hence, running is the most specific way to prepare for the Cross Country and remember “Be the well informed,responsive.walker of the talk’ leader you would like to be led by for the students you will be training once we all physically go back to school”. So you MUST train and recording your training helps you monitor your improvements and provides motivation (Taha Hinengaro, Taha Wairua)

You need rest/recovery days built into your training schedule for many reasons  and this article has some of them.

Should You Be Running Every Day?

No reira kia kaha koutou. Ka kite a te paraire

Training to Lead to the Cross Country

          

YES! I have made  this screen castify video. Don't laugh. I get really self-conscious and nervous.

Whaea Ruth's First 'lockdown' Screen Castify

I would like to challenge you all to run AT LEAST 3 times a week. I'll add Pilates, HIIT Training Ab and Butt training videos to this site for your non-running days. I would love it if you post when you have done a training and what your progress is. Kia kaha Kia maia Kia manawanui tatou katoa



Beginner's Running Guide    Sorry this site has ads but ignore and look for the helpful advice. I think I'm going to have to start (re-start) at this level

Intermediate Runners

Day 1 27 March - OMG Did Day 1 for Beginner's Running Guide. Didn't know I had let myself get so-o-o unfit. Leg muscles so atrophied (lost muscle mass) had trouble with mechanics of running and  felt discomfort in my hips. my poor heart muscle struggled too so I  got close to  my max heart rate
220-59 (my age) =  161bpm. Was in the 150s at one point. By minute 16, not much difference between the 'run' and the walk.LOL  Favourite parts,the warm up,the walks and the warm down. Will do one of the following core workouts later
Flat Belly and Round Booty workout  Really challenging only made to 8min 30secs last time
Core Exercises for the True Beginners Informative and  gives good advice on 'form'

Maori World Views - EOTC

Kia ora ano koutou

Hopefully you have opened and can navigate your way through this site

MOE resource EOTC-Guidelines

We will start by looking at the philosophical foundations of EOTC (Education Outside The Classroom) For the next two days we will be focusing on the Maori World Views module. 

Please make a Google doc entitled EOTC blog Posts so that you can write responses to each post I make - edit -THEN post to the blog. It would be a good idea to copy and paste the instructions onto your google doc,write your well considered response then copy and paste  only your thoughts to the blog -not the questions.

1. "Education in and outside the classroom needs to contribute to the Hauora/Wellbeing of it's participants (students and teachers)"

How do you anticipate training for the Cross Country and the BOIC Cross Country EOTC event itself will contribute to all four dimensions of student participant Hauora?

 I would like you to look at the six  values included in The Whare Tapere section and consider how our actions pertaining to the cross country could promote growth in all six values but only write a response to the following based on Rangatiratanga.

2. "...each member of the group can influence the direction the group takes and as such there is a sense of shared leadership and collaboration"

Looking again at your Leading to the Cross Country assessment  tasks while considering this quote,which tasks will require you to "... share a certain purpose" and "...  act in unison" and with whom?

3. Your final task is to comment on the post of two other  classmates. Please ensure your comment is
POSITIVE      THOUGHTFUL and, if you can, HELPFUL
