Whatever field they choose after graduation, these skills are important.\"&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with <strong>Paola Calderon-Valdivia<\/strong>, the Faculty of Health\u2019s experiential education co-ordinator, and the York-TD Community Engagement Centre, Bowerman connected with Terry Douglas, special education department head at James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School, a short subway ride away from ¿ì²¥ÊÓÆµ's Keele Campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was arranged for 20 students with varying disabilities to come to campus for three weekly physical activity tutorials to help the high schoolers prepare to participate in the Aspire Games, a competition in April that offers students with disabilities an opportunity to compete and shine in sports events.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bowerman\u2019s students were divided into two one-hour sessions within which two-to-three York students were paired with one high-school student. In advance, the kinesiology students needed to plan and develop modified activities within the lesson plan provided to accommodate their student\u2019s individualized needs. Andrea Haefele, a health and physical education curriculum consultant from the non-profit educational support organization Ophea, worked with the York students in preparation, leading a workshop called Disability Centred Movement: Supporting Inclusive Physical Education. Haefele collaborated with Bowerman in creating inclusive lesson plans and supported the York students while working directly with high-school students with disabilities in the physical activity tutorial setting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe discussed making accommodations, how to support students with disabilities during activity, how to instruct students with visual aids and what kinds of behaviour management strategies to use,\u201d Bowerman said. \u201cThe students took the lesson plan provided and made accommodations to the activities to meet the particular needs of their student. The York students all took turns taking the lead in the sessions.\"<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3_Health_Kinesiology_BowermanTutorial1.jpg\" alt=\"A small group of kinesiology and high school students are each holding and tossing a colourful scarf in the air.

During week one, the activities focused on sending and receiving objects: the transfer of skills to javelin or shot put. The second week\u2019s activities focused on movement, emphasizing running skills and running over obstacles. The final week of activities highlighted track and field skills, such as throwing objects to targets (javelin, shot put), jumping, running relays and passing the baton, as well as overall fitness. All of the activities were designed to provide fundamental skills while exploring the joy of movement&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These sessions were valuable to the high schoolers,&nbsp;Douglas added, noting, \u201cAny opportunities for skill acquisition into the community allows students to successfully transition into the community with a greater sense of personal capital and agency.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the experiential education (EE) sessions, the York students were asked to reflect on their experiences, and most found it eye-opening, Bowerman said. Some are now considering working with people with disabilities as a career possibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jessica Tan<\/strong>, a fifth-year bachelor of science student in kinesiology and health sciences, was among them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"380\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Jessica-Tan-cropped.jpg\" alt=\"Jessica Tan\" class=\"wp-image-349028\" style=\"width:230px;height:271px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/01\/Jessica-Tan-cropped.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/01\/Jessica-Tan-cropped-340x400.jpg 340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jessica Tan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d never worked with high-school students with disabilities, so it was nice to get exposure to a different demographic,\u201d Tan said. \u201cI learned that assessments don\u2019t tell you everything about a person; you need to work with them to understand them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tan also found it was necessary to adapt her teaching approach in the moment to meet the needs of students. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI really had to make adjustments, think quickly and change the plan on the fly,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s something you don\u2019t learn studying theory. You learn so much more through interactions than you do from slides.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tan, an aspiring kinesiologist or occupational therapist, is also a part-time dance teacher, and her EE work and reflecting on it have caused her to alter her own teaching approach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter this course, I understood that everyone has a different path to achievement and I began to appreciate the individuality of every student,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calderon-Valdivia, the Faculty\u2019s EE co-ordinator, attended the sessions and was happy to see the learning taking place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEngaging in community service learning fosters a sense of social responsibility and empathy, qualities that are highly valued by employers,\u201d she said. \"Through the practical application of specialized skills learned in this course, students gained social awareness and honed their adaptability skills. Ultimately, this type of EE helps shape individuals into well-rounded, ethical professionals.\"&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial experiential education project was supported by a Faculty of Health Fund for Innovation in Teaching grant that allowed Bowerman to hire the consultant and to buy specialized equipment, such as foam javelins, for the students to use. Going forward, however, the equipment is available, and Bowerman plans to recruit kinesiology students for any assistance she needs to run the EE sessions. She is also excited about the relationship she has now established with teachers and staff at James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School. In fact, she created a fourth session to wrap up the program, providing the high-school students with participation certificates and snack bags for an enjoyable ending.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Douglas, the special education department head, expanded on the importance of this community-service learning opportunity and said, \u201c¿ì²¥ÊÓÆµ becomes an extended learning community for our students that affirms their strengths, worth and dignity.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bowerman added, \u201cI\u2019m excited to see how this partnership will continue. The high-school teachers were excited about the collaboration and were pleased that York students could meet their own students where they were at. We can build on this relationship and see if there are opportunities for students to do independent study work.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out how Assistant
