After reading the first two chapters of Marzano's book I was rather pleased with some of his ideas. I realized the significance and importance of quality and appropriate feedback to help lead students to a successful educational career.
Physical education is an environment which exposed students to step out of their comfort zone. Students tend to shut down immediately if they do not succeed, so it is vital for physical educators to provide opportunities for success. It is also important for the instructors to provide feedback which helps students to understand why what is working and why what is not working.
Also, depending on the activity, it is very important for educators to include both formative and summative assessment plans in their curriculum. Both forms have their benefits and by using both is utilize that opportunity to harness both of those benefits.
I also agree with Marzano's argument that standards have actually handicapped the learning and teaching process. There is just too much content to cover, and it seems that teachers are more focused on the standards than the actual learning that is taking place!
