Recognizing Fundamental Skill Development and Assessment

         As I come closer to becoming a physical educator, it's evident children should have certain skills mastered in order to grow into healthy and physically educated adults. Fundamental skill development and assessment is important to the health of future students for several reasons. Every student should be given the opportunity to play, enjoy games, and sports. Through the use of these fun activities, students will take with them a sense of wonder and excitement. The feelings students render from their early experiences will enable and encourage them to take part in a life of healthy fitness and involvement with all types of physical activity. Another reason fundamental skill development and assessment is important to the health of my future students is because it will serve as an outlet for them to channel their energies in a positive direction; away from some overbearing issues brought on by today's society such as obesity, early puberty, and in-school violence. As I will soon become part of this exciting profession, the fundamental skill development and assessment of my students is important to me because it will help keep my students on the right track to success in and out of the classroom. As I previously stated, the skill development and assessment will help gauge my student's lives as they grow into healthy adults; and help them with issues such as obesity, early puberty, and repel them from in-school violence. Having assessments will enable me as an educator gain access to my student's physical state; so I can gauge which direction to take the class in terms of activities.
