Health education and physical education are traditionally
siloed-for no good reason, according to authors Matthew Cummiskey
and Frances Cleland Donnelly. So, through Elementary School
Wellness Education, the two authors provide a blueprint, complete
with lesson plans, for teachers to fuse health education and
physical education into one elementary school class. "Students
should be educated in a more holistic manner," says Cummiskey. "We
applied the concept of school wellness education at the elementary
level, which has components of both traditional health education
and physical education." Elementary School Wellness Education
offers the following: 37 detailed lesson plans for grades K-5 (19
lessons for K-2 and 18 lessons for grades 3-5) that are tied to
SHAPE America Outcomes and National Health Education Performance
Indicators Clear instruction on how to apply the plans, making it
perfect for both preservice and in-service teachers More than 70
lesson plan handouts (with four-color graphics), available in the
HKPropel platform, that are easy for teachers to print A test
package, presentation package, and instructor guide that make this
ideal for existing and emerging teacher education courses A typical
School Wellness Education (SWE) lesson combines classroom-based
learning activities-such as discussions, worksheets, and
videos-with physical activity. All the lessons in the book take
place in the gymnasium, so there's no need for a separate health
education classroom. In addition, the SWE approach helps teachers
maximize their instruction time by meeting multiple learning
standards simultaneously. "The lessons are learning focused, with
each activity carefully aligned to the objectives," says Cleland
Donnelly. "Moreover, they're fun. Students aren't sitting in a
traditional classroom learning health; they're doing it in the
gym." SWE also uses traditional PE equipment-and the gym-in new and
creative ways, she adds. "This is especially important in schools
that lack a separate health education classroom." Elementary School
Wellness Education addresses emergent pedagogies such as
skill-based education, universal design for learning, social and
emotional learning, and social justice, helping both in-service and
preservice teachers understand how to use and benefit from these
pedagogical approaches. It also guides readers in how to teach
wellness education online as effectively as face-to-face. Teachers
will learn how to teach the content in person, online, or in a
hybrid approach. "The good news for teachers is that SWE is not a
dramatic departure from existing instruction," says Cummiskey.
"Students are still moving and being taught in the gymnasium, but
now health content and skills are being infused into all the
lessons." The book, he says, is also suitable for use by classroom
teachers looking to promote wellness or incorporate additional
physical activity into their students' days. "The intent is to
imbue students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to lead
a healthy life into and through adulthood," he says. Note: A code
for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books.
