What are you doing for your Practicum

I want to start an afterschool fitness club at my school. There is a huge need to meet the non-athletes at my school. This is a great way to educate, motivate and empower this population to get fit for a lifetime. What are your thoughts?

Reaching the IEP problem students

I am looking for some suggestions that you use when working with students who have discipline issues. I try to work with these students one on one after getting students started on a activity. I try to relate to the students and ask them questions about what sports and activities that they like. This approach has works sometimes. What are other modifications that you make to get this students to participate in a positive manner?

Students Immaturity

What are some ways to teach students to become more responsible and respectful of others? I am teaching new games and adventure activities and my biggest problem is students acting immature and not getting into the games and acting like clowns. As a result this could affect students safety in certain activities like trust activities. Please give me some suggestions.
