Physical Education for Homeschool, Classroom, and Rec Sett.

Physical Education for Homeschool, Classroom, and Recreation Settings

Remember the days when, with very little equipment and just a few kids, you could have an endless amount of fun playing games?

Those days are back. And Physical Education for Homeschool, Classroom, and Recreation Settings: 102 Games With Variations adds a twist to those fun games: They are educational as well.

The 102 games and 10 dance and gymnastics activities in this book are specifically designed for small-group settings. They’re great for

* parents who homeschool or who simply want to supplement their children’s PE instruction and have fun with their kids;

* physical education teachers in small-school settings or who break their class into smaller groups; and

* leaders of after-school, recreation, intramural, and recess programs.

While the settings may change, the results don’t: Children learn skills and healthy concepts while playing games that keep them coming back for more.

Physical Education for Homeschool, Classroom, and Recreation Settings offers the following:

* Games and activities that are ready-made, easy and fun to play, and grounded in research

* Yearly lesson plans for grades K-5, making it easy for you to teach

* Games that are grounded in American Academy of Pediatrics research on the importance of play, the Canadian Sport for Life model, physical literacy, and the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) approach

The TGfU approach helps children learn interpersonal, social reasoning, and problem-solving skills, which they can apply to multiple situations. And as they take part in the fun physical activities, kids develop fundamental abilities and learn how to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle through regular physical activity.

The book includes a game finder to help you see what skills and equipment are involved for each game. Photos, illustrations, and easy-to-use components help make the games simple to teach, and you’ll be shown how to modify each game as needed for your children and to ensure the game applies to different sports. Each game ends with questions that lead to understanding the skills and concepts applied during the game.

Physical Education for Homeschool, Classroom, and Recreation Settings includes

* warm-up, cool-down, and fitness games;

* target, territory invasion, and net and wall games;

* dribbling, striking, and fielding games; and

* dance and gymnastics activities.

Whether you are looking for a useful PE book for your homeschooler or looking to supplement your physical education program, recreation program, or after-school or intramural program, this book is a great find.

Recreational Sport: Program Design, Delivery, and Management

There are more opportunities than ever for employment in recreational sport, which means the need to prepare students with a solid foundation of the design, delivery, and management of recreational sport has never been more critical.

Recreational Sportis designed precisely with that need in mind. This text provides a contemporary perspective of recreational sport management, offering a comprehensive picture of recreational sport management for people in or entering all sectors of recreation and leisure, including public, nonprofit, private, and commercial.

“We saw a need for broad-based recreational sport programming that reflects the myriad of recreational sport activities and opportunities that are out there,” says lead author Robert Barcelona. “To meet those increased needs and interests, people need to have an array of programming and management skills in recreational sport.”

Barcelona and his coauthors help readers gain those skills in part by simplifying the complicated process of designing and delivering programs in various settings in recreation and leisure services. They present a macrocosm view of recreational sport in communities—a view that reflects the most current, application-based research in the field.

Their text places recreational sport squarely in the middle of the recreation and leisure curriculum and is supported by the recreational sport core competencies as developed by Barcelona himself. Those competencies are based on what recreational sport managers need to know and be able to do to grow and succeed in the profession, and they connect with the NIRSA recreational sport competencies developed in 2013.

In addition, Recreational Sport offers the following:

* Coverage for all age groups and sectors in a range of settings and contexts for recreational sport

* International perspectives to offer students great insights into career opportunities

* The latest theory, research, and real-world approaches to help both students and professionals who program sports

* Case studies of real-world issues in recreational sport and examples of theory-to-practice applications

Teaching Personal & Social Respons. Thru Phys. Activity

Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility Through Physical Activity , now entering its third edition, attests to author Don Hellison’s ability to shape and develop character and responsibility in children. Perhaps the success of Hellison’s book can be attributed to his status not only as a highly respected scholar-activist but as a teacher who worked in the trenches with inner-city kids.

Kids in any situation will benefit from the thoroughly updated material in this edition, which presents practical, proven, easy-to-implement ideas for teaching personal and social responsibility (TPSR) in school, after school, and in alternative settings. It also supplies direction in teaching affective and social moral goals, an in-depth look into teaching character development and values, and a method for helping students develop personal and social responsibility.

Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility Through Physical Activity offers much new material:

* Strategies for alternative schools, afterschool programs, and the emerging youth development movement

* Vignettes sprinkled throughout the chapters, written by TPSR instructors in various settings

* Several chapters that have been completely overhauled

* An expanded assessment chapter to help readers evaluate the impact of TPSR on their kids and apply the strategies

* One new chapter on combining responsibility-based youth development with teacher preparation in physical education

In addition, the book features “Kid Quotes” to help readers understand how kids respond to the TPSR approach, as well as forms and charts to help readers put the ideas and strategies to use.

The result is a field-tested book that is the accepted curricular model in the field—and a resource that will enable teachers to help their students grow into solid citizens both personally and socially.

The Imperatives of Sustainable Development

By Erling Holden, Kristin Linnerud, David Banister, Valeria Jana Schwanitz, August Wierling

Thirty years ago, the UN report Our Common Future placed sustainable development firmly on the international agenda. The Imperatives of Sustainable Development takes the ethical foundations of Our Common Future and builds a model that emphasizes three equally important moral imperatives • satisfying human needs, ensuring social justice, and respecting environmental limits. This model suggests sustainability themes and assigns thresholds to them, thereby defining the space within which sustainable development can be achieved.

The authors accept that there is no single pathway to the sustainable development space. Different countries face different challenges and must follow different pathways. This perspective is applied to all countries to determine whether the thresholds of the sustainability themes selected have been met, now and in the past. The authors build on the extensive literature on needs, equity, justice, environmental science, ecology, and economics, and show how the three moral imperatives can guide policymaking. The Imperatives of Sustainable Development synthesizes past reasoning, summarizes the present debate, and provides a clear direction for future thinking.

This book will be essential reading for everyone interested in the future of sustainable development and in the complex environmental and social issues involved.

The Routledge Handbook of Planning for Health and Well-Being

Edited by Hugh Barton, Susan Thompson, Sarah Burgess, Marcus Grant

Urban planning is deeply implicated in both the planetary crisis of climate change and the personal crises of unhealthy lifestyles. Worldwide health issues such as obesity, mental illness, growing health inequalities and climate vulnerability cannot be solved solely by medicines but also by tackling the social, economic and environmental determinants. In a time when unhealthy and unsustainable conditions are being built into the physical fabric of cities, a new awareness and strategy is urgently needed to putting health and well-being at the heart of planning.

TheRoutledge Handbook of Planning for Health and Well-being authoritatively and comprehensively integrates health into planning, strengthening the hands of those who argue and plan for healthy environments. With contributions from international leaders in the field, the Handbook of Planning for Health and Well-being provides context, philosophy, research, processes, and tools of experienced practitioners through case studies from four continents.
