For many elementary education students, this course is the only exposure they will have to teaching physical education. As such, Teaching Elementary Physical Education: Strategies for the Classroom Teacher builds a strong foundation in the subject, featuring just the right amount of coverage on key topics including safety, child development, developing a PE curriculum, assessment, management, and discipline. The text's skills-theme approach focuses on teaching broadly applicable movements, such as throwing and catching, instead of specific games.
