TEACHING CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS PHYSICAL EDUCATION

There has never been a more challenging time to teach physical education to children and adolescents. Between managing difficult behaviour and adapting lessons for students with diverse needs, teachers have their hands full. This title has been helping both new and experienced teachers meet these challenges for many years and this revised edition has been updated to address many of the new challenges that have emerged in the past decade. It goes beyond pedagogy to include concrete curriculum strategies for making classes vibrant, fun and developmentally appropriate. The text is packed with advice for motivating students to practice, building positive feelings, observing and analysing, providing feedback and assessing students through formative assessment.
