Abstract
The scope of this paper is to justify my artifacts in Domain D: Planning Instruction and
Designing Learning Experiences for Students. I believe in staying on the leading edge of training
research and as a result my weight training program changes often. The primary consideration in
designing instruction is time availability; of note is the 50 minute class periods we have at our
school. After the change out process is accounted for we have 30-33 workable minutes which
does not include roll and warm-up activities.

Domain D: Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for Students.
In the world of PE, the content and expectations are simple and straight forward; students
are expected to pass the state required Physical Fitness Test. The minimum passing scores for the
PFT are displayed in Domain B: Assessing Student Learning, how we get our students to pass
the PFT is up to the individual PE teacher. In addition I am also a football coach who is
responsible for the strength and condition and serve as our offensive coordinator. With these
duties comes much preparation and research in effective planning and strategies.
Artifact 1 is a summer practice plan for our football program. Schedules of activities are
prepared months in advance (as in we schedule our entire year in January, weight training, speed
training, spring football, summer football, fall camp, etc.), then as we get closer to that date we
get into the details of each day and its activities. Football coaches are generally responsible for
coaching a specific position group and have additional duties. I am coaching the offensive line
(which contains 5 positions to monitor) and organizing the offensive installation schedule of
plays and schemes. Coaching is a fluid process and we pride ourselves on being able to adjust
quickly to the given circumstances. The practice plan is altered if we notice something that needs
to be additionally stressed or reviewed. Practice plans serve as an organizational tool and a map
of activities. Our practice plans are modified daily to address any particular need.
Artifact 2 is a 6 week weight training schedule that I created for my lifting class. I use a
combination of lifting and body resistance elements in my training. I cannot stress enough the
time constraints the PE department is under since we have gone to 50 minute class period. With
15 minutes of time allotted for the changing out process we are left with 35 minutes to take roll,
address and place our non-dress participants in a location to be observed as they do nothing, then
warm students up for the daily activity. I have adopted “super-setting” into my routine which
requires students to perform a body resistance exercise in between lifting sets. For example, to
prepare students to bench press I have them perform push-ups between squat sets prior to bench
pressing to prime their muscles; the trade-off is that students lose rest time which is
uncomfortable but they grow accustomed to the routine.
Artifact 3 is my yearly goals and objectives which is reviewed and approved by the
administrator who oversees our PE department. As PE is a performance based class it is
imperative that activities are organized and based around successful completion of the state
required PFT. I have taken great care in aligning my goals and objectives with our district policy
and philosophy, and with the Physical Education Model Content Standards for California Public
Schools Kindergarten through Grade 12; High School Course 3f Weight Training and Fitness.
My class philosophy is based around Standard 2: Students achieve a level of physical fitness for
health and performance while demonstrating knowledge of fitness concepts, principles, and
strategies. This focus standard is open ended in the fact that physical fitness can always be
improved; college athletes are bigger and stronger than high school athletes, pro athletes are
bigger and stronger than college athletes. My favorite aspect of this standard is that it is
completely subjective to performance; you get out what you put in and it based on individual
effort. These philosophies have been relayed and accepted by my administration.
