**Standard 6** **Teachers communicate well.** The teacher uses effective verbal and nonverbal communication techniques as well as instructional media and technology to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom.

Evidence 1: [|YouTube weightlifting technique clip]

Rationale 1: The YouTube weightlifting technique clip was created by myself and one of my senior students in my physical education course. I learned how to create this clip by using multimedia tools I learned how to use in my EDT 659 course. The purpose of this clip is to help other students visually and auditory hear how to perform a perfect squat in the weight room.

The evidence is important to me because it allows me to reflect on what we have done in class so far and also allows me to project and plan for what we will be doing in the future. It helps to keep the students, teachers, and community members involved in the students education. By viewing the videos, the community is able to see what happening in my classes, and can ask questions they might have as needed. I have found that by posting this clip for others to view, more people are comfortably testing these techniques out, and seem to have a better connection to my class. This also allows the students in class to reflect on what they have learned in class, and make sure they are performing these techniques the proper way. This clip gives me feedback from the students on what they have learned, and what types of techniques I need to review with them that they have had a hard time understanding throughout the year.

 * 6.K.3The teacher understands the importance of nonverbal as well as verbal communication.**

This project utilizes both verbal and nonverbal communication skills to teach the students the proper techniques on how to perform a task. While the student is performing the task, the teacher is talking in the background explaining why and how the person is performing the exercise correctly so they do not put any unnecessary strain on their bodies.


 * 6.S.2The teacher supports and expands learner expression in speaking, writing, and other media.**

The throughout this project, the students learn how to physically perform a task, and explain it to the individuals watching the clips so they understand what they are doing and why. This give the students to opportunity to expand their learning experience throughout speaking, writing, performing, and using a multimedia format.


 * 6.D.2The teacher values many ways in which people seek to communicate and encourages many modes of communication in the classroom.**

This project gives the students, teachers, and community members the opportunity to visually see and hear what is going on in my classroom since it is posted online for them to view. With them being able to not only view this from school, they can ask any form of questions they might have which will clear up any types of confusion any community members might have about a specific exercise.
