"You could say that my railroad, the Madham Line, is almost the
most important thing in my life. Next to Andy Morrow, my best
friend."
Lots of people think Doug Hanson is a freak -- he gets beat up
after school, and the girl of his dreams calls him a worm. Doug's
only refuge is creating an elaborate bridge for the model railroad
in his basement and hanging out with his best friend, Andy Morrow,
a popular football star who could date any girl in school. Doug and
Andy talk about everything -- except what happened at the Tuttle
place a few years back.
"It does not matter to Andy that we live in completely different
realities. I'm Andy's best friend. It does not matter to Andy that
we hardly ever actually do anything together."
As Doug retreats deeper and deeper into his own reality,
long-buried secrets threaten to destroy both Doug and Andy -- and
everything else in Doug's fragile world.

In elementary schools across the United States, many teachers
tasked with teaching health education or physical education have
not had training in these areas. Health and Physical Education for
Elementary Classroom Teachers: An Integrated Approach, Second
Edition, is the perfect resource for these educators. It covers
both health and physical education while giving current and
preservice teachers the skills to deliver appropriate lessons to
their young students. In this second edition, Retta Evans and
Sandra Sims, respected educators and physical education advocates,
provide everything teachers need in order to seamlessly incorporate
health education and physical education into an integrated
curriculum. Based on national health education, physical education,
and state-specific academic standards, this is a guide that will
help teachers empower elementary students to become healthy and
active. A new chapter dedicated to contextual considerations of the
learner will guide teachers to better understand factors that may
affect learning and give them ideas for changing students' health
behaviors. The new edition's ancillary products, offered through
HKPropel, allow teachers to put concepts from the text into use
with their students. Instructor ancillaries include the following:
Sample syllabus Chapter resources, including an overview, outline,
and review questions with answers Approximately 25 chapter
questions, using various levels of Webb's depth of knowledge
framework, to help in creating quick assessments of student
learning or in building custom tests Approximately 200 slides to
reinforce key points Also new to this edition are related student
resources delivered through HKPropel, which include lab exercises
that allow education students to practice the material they are
learning and design their own standards-based lesson plans that
integrate health and physical education. Learning activities and
key terms with definitions align with each chapter in the text. The
resources also include sample integrated activity plans for each of
the five physical education standards and each of the eight health
education standards. Health and Physical Education for Elementary
Classroom Teachers is organized into two parts. Part I focuses on
the foundational knowledge needed for teaching health and physical
education. It addresses risky behaviors relevant to today's
generation of students, the impact of children's physical growth on
learning and decision making, and the characteristics and benefits
of a high-quality physical education program. It also includes the
Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model as a way to
facilitate school-wide collaboration that connects education to
wellness. 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. Note: A code for accessing
HKPropel is included with all new print books.
