Dynamic Physical Education for Elementary School Children Nineteenth Edition [Pehme köide]

This textbook describes teaching physical education to elementary students, emphasizing the skill development, activity promotion, and physical fitness behaviors that are the foundation of physical literacy, as well as instructional practices designed to create a learning environment where students are free to experiment, learn, and experience physical activity in a positive climate. It goes beyond a focus on physical skills to help educators promote physical activity before, during, and after school and advocate for student health. It includes evidence-based activities and strategies designed to help educators develop a curriculum that meets SHAPE (Society of Health and Physical Educators) America standards. It addresses growth and development and the concept of physical literacy; aspects of instruction and administration, including assessment, the inclusion of children with disabilities, legal liability and safety, and lesson planning; foundational and specialized skills in physical education; and sports skills. This edition has been updated to reflect recent knowledge and best practices and includes a new chapter on physical activity and youth, recent research on physical activity and the brain, updated sections related to health concepts, updated and expanded content on physical activity guidelines and assessment, new activities to integrate health concepts into the physical education curriculum, new technology features, and a chapter on lesson planning linked to the Dynamic PE ASAP website, which replaces the previous print resource Dynamic Physical Education Curriculum Guide: Lesson Plans for Implementation.
