Cody Sanders has been
implementing TPSR in various ways at the university level since her arrival at
The University of Virginia’s College at Wise. Over the past year, like many
others, Cody’s TPSR program was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In a
normal semester, college students are required to learn and teach TPSR-based
physical activity lessons to local middle school students. During the pandemic,
Cody created a sense of community in her virtual classroom college by exposing
students to the TPSR and using the model as a foundation to have conversations
of current events and issues that college students face in 2021.
In this video, Cody leads her undergraduate college students through a 20-minute TPSR-based physical activity lesson. Prof. Ray Schweighardt plays the role of a student who is not thrilled to be a part of the activity.
Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to provide the undergraduate students with an opportunity to participate in a TPSR-based session. Following the session, Cody and the students critique each part of the video and also practice coding the video together, using the TARE teaching strategies. The students can return to the video as they are planning their own TPSR lesson plans.
Bonus: During the COVID-19 pandemic, college students weren’t allowed to work in the middle school program. Although the college students didn’t get a chance to participate or teach a TPSR-based lesson, they were able to watch and critique the following video.
