Measurable Learning Outcomes

Learning Goals for Mr. Jansen's Basketball Recreation Class

In basketball rec. class students will gain an understanding of the game of basketball. Skills and game knowledge will be introduced to students so that they can participate in a game of basketball successfully at their level of participation.

Measurable Learning Outcomes 

•  Students will be able to feel comfortable with a basketball in their hands. Ball handling skills will be practiced everyday to allow for students to gain these skills
•     Students will be able to shoot a lay-up from both sides of the basketball hoop.
• Students will be able to dribble a basketball with both hands down and back on a basketball court with theirs eyes up and at a jogging speed.




• Students will be able to provide proper shooting form when shooting a basketball.

Test Questions and Outcomes

• Students will be tested in physical skills test at the end of the month long unit. The first physical skills test will be a timed dribble weave drill through cones. Due to the variety of skill levels in the class, they are competing against themselves. At the beginning of the class each student was tested in the same drill and was recorded by the teacher. They, now having completed many tests and practices will compete against their individual time. If they improve more than 5 seconds they will receive 5 out of 5 points, 4 seconds, 4 out of 5, 3 seconds 3out of 5, 2 seconds 2 out of 5 and 1 second they will receive a 1 out of 5.

• Students will be Tested in a Mikan lay up drill for 30 seconds. The drill consists of shooting a right handed layup and then moving to the left side of the basket and shooting a left handed layup. If the student makes or misses the layup, they must move to the opposite side of the basket. They will be timed and must record how many shots they make during the course of the time limit. Each student will be timed the same and graded off a rubric that is presented to them at the beginning of the unit so that they can have time to practice and improve as the unit moves along.

• Students will be tested by the teacher in the area of ball handling. Each day in the class students practiced ball handling by instruction of drills from the teacher. They were introduced to 30 different drills during the unit. Students must successfully complete 25 out of 30 in front of the teacher to receive an A. 20 out of 30 for a B. 15 out of 30 for a C, and 10 out of 30 for a D. They will each have a check list to record their skills as they complete each one in front of the teacher. They may have as many chances as they need to complete the task as long as we are still in the unit.

• Students will be given a written exam and ask to explain the proper shooting form. Which will be taught in the acronym BEEF (balance, eyes, elbow, follow through). Students must correctly label and explain what each letter is and why it is important to the success of proper shooting form.
