"Culture of Success"

Q: Based on Ch. 4 in "Fires in the Bathroom" how do you intend to create a "culture of success" for you future students?

I found many suggestions in this chapter will be very useful to me as a future teacher, but two really stood out to me.
1. "Don't favor the students you think will do the best" (Pg. 66)
As a future physical education teacher i believe this suggestion is very important. I remember in high school the best students (most athletic) would always be chosen to pick the teams for a given activity. I also thought like the other students were turned off by this. As a physical education teacher I plan to have anyone and everyone be the leader of a team. I believe it is important to take on leadership skills; especially for those who normally do not have any experience in leading a group of people. I really think that it will be a boost for the confidence of those who thought they could not lead a team to do so.
2. "Encourage our efforts even if we are having trouble" (Pg. 64)
Too often students in P.E. classes give up on themselves because they feel like they are not good or athletic enough. As a future P.E. teacher i plan to constantly encourage those who feel as though they have inferior skills. They give up on themselves and often lose interest in any kind of physical activity. This can't happen. It is my job to be sure that students enjoy physical activity so that they do not bring poor habits of a lack of activity in adulthood. I want my students to want to be active and enjoy being active. I believe i can do this by making everyone in the class feel special. A touchdown in P.E. class to a football player means nothing, but to someone else it may feel like scoring in the Superbowl.
