At the middle school level, Coach Finn is having a hard time getting the girls in his class to participate. He has explained to them that their grade will reflect their participation or their lack of participation. Usually, the girls will participate for a brief period of time before they lose interest again. What are some ways to encourage participation from all individuals? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Having a pretest (more of different activities listed) and giving it to the students at the beginning of the school semester to rate what they would be interested in doing from favorite to least favorite. Trying to be gender neutral when thinking of activities to do.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Doing this at the beginning of the year will help the PE teachers come up with structured lesson plans, while also hopefully getting the females more engaged.
