Living Sober in an Industry Ravaged by Addiction
As a child, Steve Palmer never belonged―not in school, not in his
troubled home, not with friends. After his father and grandfather
passed away, he was sent to a series of rehabs and halfway houses
before ending up on the streets. Drugs and alcohol soon became a way of
life. Eventually, he would go on to a career running some of the
country’s most celebrated and innovative fine dining establishments.
But first, he had to learn how to be sober in an industry awash with
alcohol and drugs. Thanks to coworkers that were able to love him when
he couldn’t love himself, Steve got sober. He escaped addiction alive.
Many in the industry do not. No other industry has higher rates of
alcohol and drug abuse. People are losing careers and families. They’re
losing their health. They’re losing their lives. This is the story of
one man who found healing and recovery in the industry that enabled his
addiction―and he’s on a quest to help others do the same.
It’s never been more challenging to teach physical education to
children and adolescents. Between managing difficult behavior and
adapting lessons for students with diverse needs, teachers have
their hands full. Teaching Children and Adolescents Physical
Education: Becoming a Master Teacher has been helping both new and
experienced physical educators meet these challenges for many
years, and this revised edition has been updated to address many of
the new challenges that have emerged in the past decade. Expanded
to address teaching across elementary, middle, and high school,
this classic resource demonstrates the techniques and skills master
teachers rely on. Many of these skills are illustrated with
videotapes of actual K-12 teachers in action. This
already-successful text goes beyond pedagogy to include concrete
curriculum strategies for making classes vibrant, fun, and
developmentally appropriate. Written in conversational language,
the book is readily applicable. Teaching Children and Adolescents
Physical Education has been refreshed to be more valuable than ever
to veteran and future physical educators navigating the elementary,
middle, and high school environment. New features include the
following: • New research and examples from the world of
secondary physical education • Technology tips and app ideas
contributed by real physical educators • Linked directly to
national standards and grade-level outcomes (SHAPE America, 2014),
a new approach to planning and teaching lessons to meet the needs
of all students • Many sample task sheets and assessment examples
for middle and high school In addition, this resource features
three new chapters that add even more depth to the topics covered.
The chapters address long-term planning, writing, and teaching the
lesson plan. The value of this book can be attributed to the
authors’ years of experience teaching physical education in
elementary, middle, and high school. George Graham, Eloise Elliott,
and Steve Palmer understand all aspects of quality physical
education and the teaching challenges that come with the
territory—because they have been there. Emphasizing real-world
strategies, the authors weave instructional scenarios throughout
the book. Readers will see in action the decision-making process
master teachers go through when writing and teaching lesson plans.
Because every class is different, this resource also highlights how
to plan for diverse students and how to adjust lessons accordingly.
The text is packed with tried-and-true advice for motivating
students to practice, building positive feelings, observing and
analyzing, providing feedback, and assessing students through
formative assessment. Examples show what effective physical
education instruction really looks like in secondary gymnasiums and
on playgrounds. Rich with firsthand advice and insight, this book
will guide educators toward becoming master teachers of physical
education.
