Our community placement is at basketball beginnings is an after-school program
in which first the students engage in completing their homework
so if the students which arranged for us arranged from
...grade 2 to grade 5, if they have any homework we assist them with their homework
if not, we try to bring creative activities that are based on
their individual interest and needs and that's where we complete with them.
After that one hour of homework we usually take them to the gym afterwards
and then we're work on some basketball skills with them. We have a coach
here with lots of expertise, ...he teaches them
a lot different skills and then they get to play some games
so its a lot of fun its really engaging and they get to engage in some physical activity.
Okay, so for
our placement in terms of the community we thought through our mapping assignment
we learned that
this program is of grave significance because there is not
...community center that is close by for the students to take advantage of,
so this program enables them to participate within an after school program
as well ... learn about the community and its significance,
and our community program is really good because its situated inside the school
library.
Which is great for us it allows us to meet with
some other parents sometimes introduce them, tell how are the kids doing so far
we get to talk to teachers and...we get to address different
problems that the students are going through and
that are evident within the community as well. Basketball Beginnings said
the first conception of it was to put...
put the home, the school, and the community together.
We're very big on community programs not everyone is going to be a ballplayer
but everybody's going to be a student students first
athlete second, and this is one of the things that we're trying to push
...basketball
for me anyways or, for a lot of individuals is a game a life what you do on the
court is what you do off the court,
so if you can discipline yourself in
in the classroom or what you do off the court you'll be able to perform:
taking instructions, planning, recognizing
...the next step or
you know having goals, you have to train, just as the way you have to
study so you know putting it all together put it all together
this is great a benefit for all teacher candidates,
to students and a community.
...come on get to that defensive position, you cant get tired, show it to me
show it to me...
...hands up...
yes coach...come on move your feet, move your feet...
left, left, right...
left, ...form that shot...
relax, breath, breath...
through your nose... This...
this program really for the kids, its really for the kids
the the academic side of it, they have real teachers, you know, i think teacher
candidates from York University
add a lot of validity to the program, they are interested
or kids who are taken the time to become teachers
so this social setting where it's not traditional in the classroom is really
important
for them to get the actual chance to see what the kids can do
and get a chance to see what it's like to have that really structured program
on the other hand the
basketball side up with we try and make it as disciplined as possible
so you have to be able to follow the rules play by the whistle and just like in the
classroom you have to have
set times, there is ... schedules,
there are things you have to do to become better its a stepping stone
so this very important to the kids. When I was young and this was offered to me
and it really propelled me to be a better person, a better student
I gain better study habits from learning from people who are actually
have that knowledge and were able to disseminate that knowledge to me.
The benefit of the teacher
candidates from York University being in a community programs such as
Basketball Beginnings
gives them the opportunity to work with kids more on academic side in a
social setting.
Not every child is going to become an athlete but every child has to have an
education
and this is their way up of a... you know in parting in their knowledge,
disseminate information or just trying to structure them
in an academic role, academics,
one place of athletics means growth
I think one of the hardest things for child to do is set
or an athlete is set academic goals
and this is one of the most important things.
Breath through you nose, take one position, hands on your hip...
