Description
Jennifer Gonzalez posted an article called “4 Things I’ve Learned About Teaching from CrossFit” in October 2015 (http://www.cultofpedagogy.com/crossfit-teaching). In it, she talks about ways that teachers can use CrossFit principles to improve students’ performance and engagement in classrooms. I was intrigued by her article and decided to try the things that she recommended in the classes that I teach. I knew the CrossFit principles that Jennifer wrote about well. I had been a CrossFitter for three years when I read her article. I had not however thought about incorporating them in my teaching. I am glad that I saw her article. As you may expect, students have liked the CrossFitting of my courses. The classes are more fun with these ideas included. In this session I will talk about how introducing CrossFit principles to your lessons may improve your students’ experience; ways that I have done so; and the results that I have seen. Principles that will be presented include scaling, creating variety, gamification, personal growth, competition, and record keeping.
