GCR, As we like to call it has been a very enjoyable experience. The class was a very good class for future teachers and health educators. The social and personal responsibility model relates a lot to real life and how sports can be used by some kids in a way to express themselves. The model in the class was very well emphasized which sometimes began to get kind of repetitive but I guess we definitely learned it. The class we had made the year a lot of fun and made the dry material a lot easier to deal with. The teaching games for understanding model was more of a review for me because earlier in the year, in my PHED 2000 class we covered it in more detail. But for others, who haven't seen it before I think it was a good model to learn and the way we covered it was very helpful. During this class we actually practically taught the model whereas in my other class we just verbally covered it.For this reason the more practical use of it was more helpful for me and reiterated and helped me understand it more. These two models are very good tools for teachers by themselves but together they become even better. They could be combined because the social responsibilities model is basically just a value system which is a baseline for being a good person. And once you have that down you can teach the TGFU model with the respect, and other qualities of a good person. You make sure you always consider what others want to do as well as just helping others complete something in the gym or even outside the gym. Overall GCR was a very enjoyable class which I would recommend to all of my friends, even if they are wanting to just use it as an elective.
