Physical / Health Education

I have always been a huge fan of sports and I always promoted an active and healthy lifestyle with my students.

My first experience teaching Physical Education started as a substitute PE teacher at the International School of Belgrade. It gave me excellent insight into the different dynamics between homeroom lessons compared to Physical Education classes. I strongly promote fairness and respect throughout my classes. 

Through active and engaging lessons I try to have all the students involved in the activities. Having a lot of prior homeroom teaching experience, helped me to make genuine connections with the IB Transdisciplinary Units and plan my classes along the homeroom Units of Inquiry. Together with other few PE teachers, we have created the entire PYP PE Framework for grades KG-G5, making sure that we have all of the units vertically and horizontally aligned. 

Technology became an integral part of our lives, and Physical Education is not an exception. I strive to integrate technology into my lessons in many ways - as a presentation tool, differentiation learning aide, analytics tool, etc. I also use it to enhance collaboration, record data, track statistics, and build up communication. Besides iPad, Action Cams, touch sensors, etc. using iDoceo, Hudl, Virtualitee, VideoDelay, Adobe, and other tools and apps, enhance my lessons and tasks assigned to students. 

I have also participated in various Physical Education Conferences and completed certification programs such as Delivering the MYP PHE CurriculumAUSTSWIM Educators in Aquatics, and multiple CPR-AED courses by the American Heart Association.

During the 2020 Covid-19 global pandemic and major lockdowns all around the world, all teachers had to adapt to the situation and immerse themselves in online teaching.

In my PE Zoom lessons, besides the regular IB unit-related theoretical part, my goal was to keep the students active and engaged in my lessons. I have created various digital content from PowerPoint Presentations, collaborative online tasks, practical homeworks, various physical challenges through exercise videos and interactive quizzes. Together with other PE teachers, we have even managed to conduct a full-online Sports Day for the entire Primary School (KG-G5). Many of the activities on Sports Day were planned to involve both students and their parents. Some of my online classes and fitness challenges can be seen below.
