Core practices-content-specific practices that offer strategies to
support student learning-are common in many subject areas but have
been curiously missing for health educators . . . until now. Core
Teaching Practices for Health Education is a compact and precise
book that serves up effective core teaching practices for
preservice and practicing health educators as well as for health
teacher educators. Teachers can apply the evidence-based practical
tips and strategies the minute they step into their classrooms;
even veteran instructors will discover new teaching tactics that
will be useful. Core Teaching Practices for Health Education offers
the following: Twenty-first-century teaching skills that are
specific to health education Practices that are highly transferable
across the spectrum of health education and applicable across grade
levels Fifteen concise and practical chapters, each of which
details a core practice in action, explains the practice, gives
additional examples of the practice, and provides clear guidance on
how to use the practice in health classrooms Great Prep for
Teaching Assessments Such as the edTPA The text is a great resource
for aspiring teachers as they embark on their student teaching
semester and as they prepare for teaching assessments such as the
edTPA, increasingly required in many states. They will learn how to
design lesson plans, unit plans, and complete health education
curricula to effectively teach health concepts and skills; this
directly relates to the video portion of the edTPA. In addition,
the book's final two chapters directly relate to the Analyzing
Teaching portion of the edTPA Ideal for Preparing Curriculum In
addition, Core Teaching Practices for Health Education is ideal for
teachers who are charged with creating health curricula for middle
and high school programs-and for other teachers who are thrust into
the role of health educators with little or no health education
background. Book Organization Core Teaching Practices for Health
Education is organized into three parts. Part I introduces the idea
of core practices and focuses on planning to teach health education
(e.g., big ideas, enduring understandings, essential questions,
sequencing health content, assessment). Part II explores the
pedagogy of health education, including organizational routines and
procedures, building a safe and caring environment that is focused
on learning, and adapting instruction to meet the needs of
students. Part III guides readers through reflective practices on
teaching and lesson improvement. Each core practice has its own
chapter. Perfect Companion to Two Other Guides This affordable
guide is a perfect companion to Essentials of Teaching Health
Education, Second Edition, by Sarah Benes and Holly Alperin (Human
Kinetics, 2022) and Health Education edTPA Online Preparation Guide
by Stacy Furness (Human Kinetics, 2022). For future teachers in
states that require the edTPA, these three resources supply
everything they need to become successful health educators.
Preservice teachers, current teachers, and health teacher educators
will find Core Teaching Practices for Health Education to be of
lasting value as they use the book's health-education-specific
teaching practices to improve teaching and learning.
As a physical educator (or student preparing to become one), you
need to know more than the skills, techniques, and tactics of the
sports and activities you teach. You need to understand, among
other things, how to create task progressions, how to organize and
adapt those tasks, and how to detect and correct student errors.
Effective Physical Education Content and Instruction will help you
learn how to do just that. Theoretical Framework and Evidence-Based
Plans This text provides a theoretical framework to work from and
gives you ready-to-use, teacher-tested content that is evidence
based. Sample block plans are designed to help students of
differing ability levels engage in skillful play. You'll be able to
draw from teaching progressions that are game-like, developmental,
and sequential in nature. Effective Physical Education Content and
Instruction offers the following: - Sequential units with block
plans - Ready-to-use instructional tasks and warm-ups - Teaching
cues - Explanations of common errors, their causes, and how to
correct them - Content maps for each unit - A web resource that
houses enlarged versions of the content maps, along with sample
student awards and fair play guidelines The content maps provide a
roadmap for success in the attainment of goals and outcomes. The
cues in the text, which assist in the detection and correction of
student errors, act as an additional aid to help students achieve
success. Content Proven to Be Highly Effective The approach and
content in Effective Physical Education Content and Instruction
have been proven to increase student learning as compared to other
approaches. In fact, in one of the largest-ever intervention
studies on teaching effectiveness in physical education, teachers
who were taught to use this approach and content significantly
improved the quality of their teaching and produced some of the
highest learning gains for students reported in the physical
education literature. Book Organization The book is organized into
three parts. Part I lays the groundwork for successful
teaching--undestanding and acquiring content knowledge, then
conceptualizing and organizing that content for teaching. Part II
explores the keys to teaching fundamental skills--understanding
early elementary locomotion, and teaching elementary gymnastic
skills. Part III consists of specific sport units for elementary,
middle, and high school students, with each chapter providing the
following: - An explanation of the approach - Maps that define the
content and its interrelationship - Block plans, warm-ups, and
lesson organization - A series of instructional tasks, which
include the following: the purpose of the instructional task;
equipment needed for instruction; a description of the
instructional task; teaching cues; common errors, their causes, and
how to correct them; and diagrams, as applicable. Based on
Extensive Research Effective Physical Education Content and
Instruction is based on decade-long research conducted by Phillip
Ward. It has been developed in collaboration with a team of master
teachers who know the content and how to teach it. The result of
their work is a rock-solid theoretical framework that offers
practical applications, developmental progressions from beginner to
advanced, and scheduling options. By using a framework that is
proven to be effective (as evidenced by research), you can focus on
tailoring the instructional plan to your students so they can
acquire the sport skills they need, enjoy their participation in
physical education, and make the most of their time in your class.
