Teacher of the Month--
Robert Pangrazi

After 15 years of teaching students and training 1,500 Physical Education instructors, Bob Pangrazi is regarded an expert in his field. Students and faculty commend him for his passion and commitment to his work. Pangrazi said of his teaching philosophy, "Learning is based on mutual respect. It is my obligation to try to open the door to their [students'] minds."



Teaching Philosophy

Nominee Statement

I decided 35 years ago that I wanted to teach and make a difference in the lives of children and college students. My resolve to be an outstanding teacher has not wavered over those many years. If I had to do it again, I would choose the same profession and bring to it the same zeal and energy I have contributed during my 30 years of teaching. I have trained over 1500 teachers at ASU and have devoted my career to the development of quality teachers.

The following are areas that exhibit my approaches and philosophy to education

Students are whole beings. I teach student as total beings. It is not enough to bring facts or experiences to the classroom. There must be an appreciation for the experiences students bring to the classroom. I get to know students, listen to their concerns, and try to help them identify their strengths. I tell students I will arrive early and stay late. Often more learning takes place before and after class. Learning is based on mutual respect; students learn and cooperate because they choose to do so. It is my obligation to try to open the door to their minds.

Teachers are models. It is not enough to teach what is right; teachers must live what they teach. I believe that how I behave speaks more loudly than my words Since I teach the importance of active lifestyles, I work hard to be personally active and fit. I live with energy and enthusiasm and try to show the strength and desire it takes to be an outstanding teachers videotape examples of different teachers so students can see the difference between effective and ineffective models. Those who lead must be good models for others to emulate.

Attitude makes a difference. I see attitude as a personal view of life. I view my students with respect and dignity. Often I hear other professors express concern about the declining quality of students. I see just the opposite. I feel my students work harder than they ever have. They want to excel and do well. In fact, at times I have to remind them to relax because they are so disappointed in their effort. Today is an exciting time to be teaching; I see my students as better prepared and more goal-oriented than past students.

Education must be authentic. Learning must help students face reality; in particular, teacher training has often failed to help teachers meet the challenges of a classroom full of students. It is unacceptable to tell students how to teach; they must experience. I have spent over 20 years designing experiences for student that will allow them to apply the information they learn in my class. My students teach a class of students 4 to 5 times during the semester. They must prepare and implement an actual lesson to children ranging in ages 5 to 11. This takes time and effort to arrange and evaluate these out of class experiences, but I believe it makes the learning experience authentic and meaningful. In addition, I arrange student teaching experiences with master teachers I have taught. This helps fledgling student teachers apply what they have learned in the university setting to their professional setting. Bottom line to authenticity: what you learn must be of worth when you apply it in a professional setting.

Students learn in different ways. No two students are alike. Education has always strived to design instruction that would be the needs of a group of students. It is becoming increasingly clear that each student has a unique and personal style of learning. To help more students find success, I use a variety of instructional methods. For those who like to learn with others, I use cooperative learning and team learning. For students who like to read and study alone, I offer supplemental reading assignments. Some students learn best visually and I have developed a series of videotapes to enhance their learning. I also stay after class and tutor students who need special assistance since I have found the personal touch to often be the most effective.

Learning is continuous. If I am to be a master teacher, I must stay abreast of the field and profession. I have always felt a strong drive to learn more ways to motivate students to learn. I feel that great teachers are able to motivate all students to learn, not just those who find it easy. I have audited courses at ASU, attended many professional workshops, and read constantly. I would like to be characterized as a changing and forward thinking professional. I feel more motivated today to learn about teaching than at any time in my career. I travel to the public schools weekly to observe teachers and students. I teach young children regularly so I can assure students I have tried everything I ask them to do Teaching demands excellence and respect for knowledge and I try to meet those demands.

In summary, teaching is complex. Just as no two students are alike, no two teachers are similar. My experience has shown effective teachers to be filled with enthusiasm, a love of learning, a concern for all students, and a passion for greater knowledge. I am appreciative that I have been given the opportunity to touch and share with many students and practicing teachers.
