I got the opportunity to view Eddie Obeng, "Smart failure to a fast-changing world". It was a little difficult at first to follow Eddie's presentation since he was a fast speaker but he was very artful in his speech. He describe how the world is accelerating at a very fast pace. What happens today can be obsolete in two years. This had me thinking about the Common Core/State Standards in P.E. When I first started teaching, we went by the State Standards. I think it was back in 2010 when the state adopted Common Core. What will be next? My favorite part of the video was when Eddie said people around wants to see innovation, "they say take risks and be creative", however some may hear it as "do crazy things and then I'll fire you". I see and hear colleagues and administrators talking about being innovative in teaching. I try to do my part and take risk in P.E. Those risk have helped me build a bridge in the learning gap between my students and I.

I appreciate the way you reflect on your teaching to see where you can improve- it shows growth as not only a learner, but an educator. It is important to keep the lessons growing and adapting to the students needs.

I agree about the ever changing standards or curriculum we teach. At our school we just adopted a new curriculum and many teachers don't even like it. This is my second year teaching fourth grade and this year has been very different than the last. The school is constantly trying to give us new innovative ways to teach and look at the way we teach and even though I embrace innovation, being a new teacher it is difficult to try and master a technique that is constantly evolving.
