Currently, the kids in my PE class are in the volleyball unit. The gym is able to facilitate two courts, so the kids are split up into four co-ed teams. With almost 50 students for two teachers, it’s impossible to evaluate mentally how well a student does without some type of written recording. My teacher came up with a great way to tally and record how each individual kid does in each aspect of the game. First, it is broken up in to the activity. Such as serving, passing or setting. Then, has a line for the period and the day. Next, a line for the team number which is one through four. It is then divided into boys and girls, with their names listed down the side. Each name is followed by ten boxes with numbers one through ten in them.
For example, if a boy named John Smith was serving, the teacher would find his name on the chart and give him the go ahead to serve the ball. Then, circle the number if the ball cleared the net or put an X through the number if the ball didn’t make it over or didn’t clear the net.
This method insures that every kid is evaluated fairly and accurately. This way, if a parent calls in asking why his or her child didn’t receive an acceptable grade, there is evidence to show the parents why their child was giving a particular grade. The stats chart also inhibits the teacher of giving suggestive grades.
