Description
Part of a course which includes "Physical Education for Children - Daily Lesson Plans", this book guides teachers beyond merely teaching activities to planning and teaching quality physical education classes. They'll learn how to teach lessons that combine ordered movement experiences to best enhance motor development, match activities to the developmental level of each class, measure and improve children's physical fitness, and formulate yearly instruction plans. Teachers will also find sections dealing with educational concerns such as mainstreaming, liability, supervision, observation, facilities, equipment and health instruction. The book should provide the conceptual background needed to skillfully teach the lessons presented in the "Daily Lesson Plans".
