It covers both health and physical education while giving current and preservice teachers the skills to deliver appropriate lessons to their young students. <p/> In this second edition, Retta Evans and Sandra Sims, respected educators and physical education advocates, provide everything teachers need in order to seamlessly incorporate health education and physical education into an integrated curriculum. Based on national health education, physical education, and state-specific academic standards, this is a guide that will help teachers empower elementary students to become healthy and active. <p/> A new chapter dedicated to contextual considerations of the learner will guide teachers to better understand factors that may affect learning and give them ideas for changing students' health behaviors. <p/> The new edition's ancillary products, offered through HK<i>Propel</i>, allow teachers to put concepts from the text into use with their students. Instructor ancillaries include the following: <ul><li>Sample syllabus</li><li>Chapter resources, including an overview, outline, and review questions with answers</li><li>Approximately 25 chapter questions, using various levels of Webb's depth of knowledge framework, to help in creating quick assessments of student learning or in building custom tests</li><li>Approximately 200 slides to reinforce key points</li></ul> Also new to this edition are related student resources delivered through HKPropel, which include lab exercises that allow education students to practice the material they are learning and design their own standards-based lesson plans that integrate health and physical education. Learning activities and key terms with definitions align with each chapter in the text. The resources also include sample integrated activity plans for each of the five physical education standards and each of the eight health education standards. <p/><i>Health and Physical Education for Elementary Classroom Teachers</i> is organized into two parts. Part I focuses on the foundational knowledge needed for teaching health and physical education. It addresses risky behaviors relevant to today's generation of students, the impact of children's physical growth on learning and decision making, and the characteristics and benefits of a high-quality physical education program. It also includes the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model as a way to facilitate school-wide collaboration that connects education to wellness. <p/> Part II emphasizes the strategies necessary for incorporating health, physical education, and physical activity into the curriculum and school day. It discusses how teachers can become advocates of healthy and active schools, identify habits that promote everyday health in the classroom, and incorporate physical activity and the national standards into each school day. It also presents teaching methods, assessment tools, and evaluation strategies to ensure teaching success. <p/> Note: A code for accessing HK<i>Propel</i> is included with all new print books.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Retta R.
