$132.95 CAD
Written by respected educators and health and physical education advocates, the third edition is based on the most recent national health education and physical education standards from both the National Consensus for School Health Education and SHAPE America. Along with the relevant state-specific academic standards, these standards provide critical guidelines to help educators improve lesson outcomes and empower elementary children to become healthy and active.
The third edition provides updated statistics on child and adolescent health-related indicators, and it includes new and expanded content on the following topics:
- Meaningful physical education experiences
- Universal design for learning
- Best practices for school connectedness
- Antibullying and antiharassment strategies
- Physical activity breaks and class behavior management strategies
- Healthy People 2030 indicators
Part II emphasizes the strategies necessary for incorporating health, physical education, and physical activity into the curriculum and school day. It discusses how teachers can become advocates of healthy and active schools, identify habits that promote everyday health in the classroom, and incorporate physical activity and the national standards into each school day. It also presents teaching methods, assessment tools, and evaluation strategies to ensure teaching success.
In addition, the book features valuable lab exercises to help teachers apply the concepts and practice designing their own standards-based lesson plans. Plus, related online learning materials delivered through HKPropel include key terms and review questions, as well as sample integrated activity plans for each of the four physical education standards and each of the eight health education standards.
Health and Physical Education for Elementary Classroom Teachers, Third Edition, provides the essential knowledge and strategies to seamlessly incorporate health education and physical education into an integrated curriculum.
Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books.
