Community/School Demographics
East Paulding High School is located in Paulding county in the city of Dallas, GA and as of
2021 just under 174k people live in this county. There are just under 1900 students
currently enrolled in EPHS with 566, 417, 461, 449 students in 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th
grade respectively. A majority of the school's population is white (61%) followed by black
(23%), Hispanic (10%) and others (6%). Though the school was founded in 1991, we have
relatively modern classrooms with touch screen interactive white boards and laptops
available for students. The weight room is new, within the last 5 years so it is very nice and
up to date. Also the main gym is in good condition, though it lacks in overall size. East
Paulding also doesn’t have a wide selection of equipment for physical education so I’ve
found myself having to get creative with the equipment we do have in order to create
classes we have a mix of all ages but for my Health Education course, it is mostly freshmen
with a few sophomores, juniors, and seniors as well. East Paulding's students are primarily
white (61%), black (23%) and Hispanic (10%). For students who need it there are IEPs
developed to help them succeed both academically and physically. The students' test scores
are right in line with the national average. English is the dominant language spoken at
EPHS but there is also a small percentage of EL students. The students have a wide variety
of interests, such as social media, music and athletics. Since we are in High School, the
students have a basic understanding of physical education skills and health education
principals. Their learning styles range but most tend to be a blend of all three primary
styles of visual, auditory and kinesthetic. The students' skill levels in physical education are
mostly lacking, I find myself having to teach fundamentals before getting into tactics and
strategies.

Collect Data
and understanding of the game improve with each lesson. I incorporated a variety of small
sided games for understanding as we led up to our final game of the unit, which I called
Ring Fit. I made up this game and used many elements from my favorite games, such as
handball and tchoukball. I saw a positive impact on the students' skill levels and tactics
used as we progressed through each lesson. We are supposed to focus on tactics and
strategies at the high school level but I have found that many of my students never learned
the fundamental skills necessary to succeed in gameplay. For this reason I had to spend
time during each of my lessons focusing on skill development, so they could put those skills
to the test when incorporating the tactics and strategies we stressed such as incorporating
short, quick passes and taking advantage of the scoring rules. I also noticed an increase of
student participation with each lesson. The more we played and the more the students
were exposed to the game, the more interested it made the students who were not initially
participating!
I believe I experienced a great deal of growth in multiple areas regarding CAPS standards
improve with each lesson I teach! I am also becoming more efficient in my instructional
strategies. I have been able to cut down on instruction time with each lesson, only having to
explain the lesson once as a group before we get started. I will go around and assist any
students who may still be confused but as a whole I am getting my message across well! I
am also learning how effective differentiated instruction really is. The teachers I work with
and also the students are really enjoying all the different activities that I plan for each
lesson. It helps to get more students engaged and interested in the lesson!
I also do my best to bring excitement and energy to each lesson and I believe this is a huge
influence in student engagement and excitement. This semester I’ve had many students
approach me and tell me how fun and exciting I’ve made PE for them this semester and
they hope that I’ll be back in the fall to continue teaching them! All the positive comments
I’ve gotten from my students and the other teachers around me tells me I’m doing a good
job of creating a positive learning environment and making an impact on the students each
