12. Our Favorite Teacher (case study 2) The minute you met him, you liked him. Ben was a mainstay of the school and the community. A teacher 27 years of service, deacon of the church, a football coach with an 80% winning average, well-liked and well known by every man woman and child in the small rural town of 2,016 souls.
There was just one problem.
13. Our Favorite Teacher (case study) After making two informal visits to Ben’s classroom it was very apparent that Ben didn’t know anything about teaching. In his physical education class students do not dress out and girls, who do not want to get their hair wet taking a shower, were allowed to sit and watch class. He has no written lesson plan, an it appears that the sole activity from September to April is one-on-one basketball.
14. Our Favorite Teacher (case study) In a conversation with Ben you have determined the following: Ben
Has not been evaluated by an administrator in 12 years
Is teaching on a “general certification” which the state offered 30 years ago. It essentially allows him to teach anything. He has little background in any subject are and none in P.E.
Confides in you that he has not idea how to write a lesson plan
Is six years from retirement
Is unsure about his ability to change at this stage of his life.
15. Our Favorite Teacher (case study) In speaking with the superintendent you find that:
This situation has been known by faculty, students, and administration for some time
The community is unaware of has tolerated the situation.
Community expectations for the P.E. program are not high
The state has no testing program for students in P.E.
No other data is available on students in P.E.
She would like you to do something about it.
