Overweight students often suffer negative consequences with regard
to low physical ability, skills, and fitness; obesity-related
health implications; teasing and exclusion from physical education
by their peers; and psychosocial and emotional suffering as a
result of weight stigma. Widespread obesity and its negative
consequences have presented an unprecedented challenge for
teachers, who must include overweight students in physical
education activities while striving to provide individualized
instruction for diverse learners and foster positive learning
environments. Educators stand to benefit greatly from specific
knowledge and skills for reducing bias and including overweight
students. Teaching Overweight Students in Physical Education offers
a compact and easy-to-read take on this problem. It begins by
summarizing information on the obesity trend, weight stigma, and
coping mechanisms. Next, it introduces the Social Ecological
Constraint Model, which casts the teacher as an agent of change who
is aware of and manipulates a variety of factors from multiple
levels for effective inclusion of overweight students in physical
education. Finally, it provides detailed strategies guided by the
conceptual model for instructors to implement into their physical
education classes. In all, this book provides a map for
successfully including overweight students and offers practical
strategies to help physical education teachers create inclusive and
safe climates, and design differentiated instruction to maximize
overweight or obese students' engagement and learning.
Comprehensive, evidence-based, and timely, this book is tailored
for physical education educators and practitioners, but will also
benefit parents of overweight children by providing them with
strategies for educating their children on how to cope with stigma
and weight-related teasing.
