Systematic Observation 1: Time Analysis

Total number of intervals: 120

Total number of Activity intervals: 77 tallies= 1,155 seconds or 19.5
minutes dedicated to activity.
Total number of Instructional intervals: 21 tallies = 315 seconds or 5.25
minutes dedicated to instruction.
Total number of Management intervals: 22 tallies = 330 seconds or 5.5
minutes dedicated management

This week I conducted Mr. Caseys time analysis for the last systematic
observation for Tiger Pride. Out of the 30- minute lesson, more than half of
the lesson was dedicated to the students actively participating in the
basketball pivot relay drill and then the jump shot shooting drill. Casey
continues to maintain 50% MVPA with a total of 19.25 minutes, which is
equivalent to 77 intervals tallies of activity or a total of one thousand one
hundred and fifty-five seconds. He had 21 tallies equaling 5.25 minutes of
instructional intervals, and 5.5 minutes of management with 22 tallies. Mr.
Casey did a great job getting the class into activity starting off with his
passing and then into the main activity of shooting for the rest of class time.
I have seen much improvement in these students skills since the first time
he taught this lesson.

Casey was able to start the lesson right away and send them right into
their first activity of a relay review for basketball passing. The kids seemed to
be very successful with their teammates cheering each other on. They all
wanted to be the first team to finish over the other groups.
Mr. Casey is very confident in front of all the students and not afraid to
discipline them if they have poor behavior or not following instructions. The
22 tallies from management (5.5 minutes) from the lesson is when Mr.
Casey was directing the students where to go, making sure they are listening
to his instructions whether it was to have the kids sit on home-base or clean
up equipment. For 5.5 minutes of the class time he was giving the class
instruction. Mr. Casey demonstrated the cues of the passing and how the
passing and shooting drills work. For instructions and demonstrations, it is
important Mr. Casey repetitively explain the rules of the game and when it is
used throughout the lesson. The kids tend to forget what Mr. Casey talked
about in the introduction by the end of class time.

Caseys main focus was to see how well the students progressed in
basketball and he wanted to make it a fun lesson for their last day with
Casey teaching them. He wanted to make sure they knew all the cues for
shooting and dribbling. He had a lot of success with the students being on
task doing the drill correctly. If any changes were to be made, he could have
tried to provide each student with some corrective feedback. He was able to
give some feedback to the students.
For the motor differences, the lower skilled students had trouble pushing the
ball up into the air using one hand. They also had a relatively low success
rate at scoring the ball. Deshawn and Jennifer were two students who
struggle to perform the cues correctly or were having trouble with accuracy.
The higher skilled students used all the cues, consistently had the ball

hitting the rim or going into the net. Casey had a lot of activity time! If
anything, the only suggestion I would make is to improve his organization.
