Excellent teachers will develop lessons according to the knowledge and skill level of the children in front of them, after firmly grasping what the teaching content should be taught at each developmental stage. It is also essential to look back on your lesson and rebuild your plan for the next lesson. In this class, aiming to train such teachers of health and physical education who are good at teaching, in addition to lectures and practical skills, we will proceed with the class while actually acting as a teacher and planning, implementing, and reflecting on mock lessons.
