Elementary school physical educators looking for expert guidance in
designing lessons that are aligned with SHAPE America's National
Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes need look no further. Lesson
Planning for Elementary Physical Education works in tandem with
SHAPE America's National Standards & Grade-Level Outcomes for
K-12 Physical Education and The Essentials of Teaching Physical
Education to provide the knowledge base and practical strategies
for creating high-quality elementary physical education curricula.
Key Benefits Written by master teachers and edited by the team who
oversaw the creation of the National Standards and Grade-Level
Outcomes, Lesson Planning for Elementary Physical Education is
endorsed by SHAPE America. The text has the following features: *
65 lessons that foster the achievement of physical literacy for
children in grades K-5 * Numerous learning experiences that engage
students in the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains *
Curriculum design based on student growth * Sequential lessons
leading to mature patterns of motor performance * An introductory
chapter on the key points for the grade span, putting the lessons
in context and providing a road map for planning curriculum, units,
and lessons * Instruction on creating high-quality lessons that
reach the desired objectives Flexible Lessons Teachers can use the
lessons as presented or modify them to meet local needs. The
lessons provide a structure for teachers to follow in developing
their own learning experiences and curricula. For PE majors and
minors, the lessons provide the ideal starting point in learning
how to plan and deliver effective lessons to become proficient
teachers, not just managers of activity. In addition, all lessons
and learning experiences reflect best practices in instruction and
include scripted cues. The text shows readers how to effectively
develop their own lessons-and teachers can use those lessons to
show their administrators that their program is designed to meet
the specific outcomes developed by SHAPE America. Web Resource
Lesson Planning for Elementary Physical Education is supported by a
web resource that contains digital versions of all the lesson plans
in the book. Teachers can access the lesson plans through a mobile
device, and they can download the plans to use later or to print.
Overview of Contents Part I of the text offers readers a solid
foundation in lesson planning. The authors explore the elements of
planning lessons for student learning, show how to meet the
National Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes, and guide readers in
making the most of every lesson. In part II, readers have access to
K-5 lesson plans in health-related fitness, movement concepts,
locomotor skills, nonlocomotor skills, and manipulative skills for
elementary physical education. Lesson Structure Each lesson
corresponds to a category of the outcomes. In addition, the lessons
provide deliberate, progressive practice tasks and integrate
appropriate assessments for evaluating and monitoring student
progress and growth. Great for Current and Future Elementary
Teachers Lesson Planning for Elementary Physical Education offers
teachers the tools and resources they need in order to guide
students toward physical literacy and physically active lifestyles
throughout their adult lives. And it does so by aligning with SHAPE
America's National Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes. As such,
this is a great resource for both current and future elementary
physical education and classroom teachers.
It's never been more challenging to manage behavior and motivate
students in a physical activity setting. There are more at-risk
children and students with disabilities to manage. Physical
activity professionals also face the unique challenge of providing
instruction to large groups with limited resources and distractions
galore. If not handled correctly, these challenges can quickly add
up to chaos, ineffective instruction, and frustrated, burnt-out
physical activity professionals. That's where the third edition of
Positive Behavior Management in Physical Activity Settings, Third
Edition comes in. This resource will help you not only overcome
those and other discipline challenges, but also use tried-and-true,
positive techniques to develop appropriate and responsible
behaviors and good character among all learners. This new edition
incorporates principles, methods, and instructional practices from
psychology, special education, pedagogy, recreation, athletics, and
coaching. It shows teachers, coaches, and recreation leaders how to
apply the principles that have proven effective in schools, youth
sport programs, and recreation sites. Positive Behavior Management
in Physical Activity Settings offers this new material: * A new
chapter on bullying, providing up-to-date information to help you
recognize and manage such behavior within your group * A new
chapter on children with special needs, including autism spectrum
disorder, attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities,
intellectual disabilities, traumatic brain injury, and
behavioral/emotional disabilities * A new chapter on behavior
management ethics and professionalism, to help those who are
preparing to be physical activity professionals at the pre-service
and in-service levels * New sections on motivating children who are
overweight or obese, using the latest research to help you to
encourage them to participate Also new to this edition are an
instructor guide and a web resource. The instructor guide offers
different sample syllabi, showing various ways to teach the course;
sample assignments; answers to chapter review questions; suggested
further readings; and useful websites and apps. The web resource
supplies behavior management scenarios, sample forms (checklists,
rubrics, certificates, worksheets) from the chapters, instructions
for designing an Applied Behavior Analysis graph and a trifold
display, useful websites and apps, and a glossary by chapter. This
text provides you with evidence-based strategies in managing
special needs populations, including designing a positive
behavioral support (PBS) model and a behavioral intervention plan
(BIP), as well as information on response to intervention (RTI).
The authors have added a fourth section to this new edition. Part I
details the challenges that professionals face in developing a
positive learning environment, and shows readers how to be
proactive in doing so. Part II outlines the interventions that
physical activity professionals have successfully used in a variety
of settings. This part includes chapters that discuss behavioral,
humanistic, and biophysical approaches. The final chapter in this
section addresses how to evaluate the behavior intervention. Part
III explores behavior management with various populations, and
offers the new chapters on bullying and on special needs children.
In part IV, the authors discuss ethical and professional behavior
of physical activity professionals relative to the application of
behavior management techniques used with children and youth with a
focus on professionalism. The final chapter will synthesize the
information presented in this text and assist the reader to take
the appropriate steps needed to develop a working, teaching, and
behavior management portfolio. GUIDANCE TO MOTIVATE CHILDREN
Positive Behavior Management in Physical Activity offers current
and future K-12 physical educators, coaches, recreation
specialists, and adapted physical education specialists guidance in
motivating young people. You will learn how to manage behavior and
create a physical activity environment that is conducive to
performance and learning-and that is designed to empower children
rather than control their behavior.
