Artifact: Adapted Physical Education and Sport Letter to Parents
Date: Fall 2010
Reflection: Providing feedback is important to not only your students but your students parents or guardians. In order for progress to increase it is essential for students to work on skills outside the classroom. Providing feedback to a students parents can help the parents understand what each student is capable of and what he or she needs to work on. In Adapted Physical Education and Sport, each student wrote a letter to their BOCE's student's parents regarding on his or her levels of performance in all three domains; affective, cognitive and psychomotor. Here is the letter i sent to my BOCE's student's parents.
