Today is Friday and we are going to PT. The class plan of the day is as follows. The activities will be led by the designated Class Leader and an Assistant. The class will be supervised by the NSI. The NSI will monitor the class and ensure the Class Leaders are executing the plan.
Class Leaders:
Period 2: Tyron & Odayls
Period 4: Nicole V & Mike
Period 6: Devon
Period 7: Brendan & Libby
Class Leader conduct the following:
1. Form the class around you in a circle and conduct a warm up stretch from head to toe. Pick a different cadet to demonstrate each stretch. At the end let them stretch by themselves for two minutes.
2. Form the class into pairs by gender (guys with guys and girls with girls). If you need to form a group of three then do so.
3. Have them form up in the groupings and spread out in the back of the class room.
4. One cadet will perform the exercise while the other cadet monitors their performance. Once all are done then the class leaders switches the class (now the partners performs the exercise)

ReplyDeleteSome of the Class Leaders were tired so they were less than enthusiastic when leading the exercises which had a negative impact on the group performance. Great example of leaders setting the tone for group performance.
