Special Motor Fitness Clinic


Here is a picture of the different stations that I sat up with minimum instructions and many different types of equipment they could use.
This is when I decided to apply autonomy and test my ability to make it work. The children went to each station and it was up to them to come up with an activity based upon the equipment and instructions given.
After analyzing the students, activities and use of the equipment I noticed that each student created something different but still acceptable to the directions given.
I assessed the activities and (by doing this I have reach the Evaluation level of Bloom's thinking scale) found that I not only know what autonomy is but I can use it in the world. I can create an environment of autonomy and I understand why autonomy is important to use in a classroom.
It allows me as a teacher to set up environments for children to think and learn on their own without me. Which allows me to be able to help the children who are struggling.
