Product Description
This comprehensive collection of teacher-tested unit plans, lesson plans, and teaching and assessment tools will save any secondary school physical education teacher invaluable planning and preparation time. Each lesson plan moves toward written goals from the moment students walk onto the floor until the moment they leave. The lessons integrate physical, cognitive, and social skills in a natural sequence, allowing plenty of opportunity for repetition to help students ingest the material, develop competency, and be rewarded with a sense of control.

The CD-ROM that accompanies the text allows you to pull up lessons on the screen, modify them, and print them for your classes. You can then save them for later use. You can also adjust lessons to reflect your own style, pace lessons to meet your classes’ needs, and select drills that work best for your students. The result: quality lesson plans that meet the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) standards.

Both the book and the CD-ROM contain

• handouts for many of the sports,
• more than 25 performance assessment rubrics,

Good choice if you need full units...
If you want full units that are very in-depth, this is a good selection however I find I do not use it as much as I use some other books that are geared toward more separate activities and short games.These lessons are centered around the big sports units, such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, football, etc.If this is what you are looking for this is the right choice...if you'd rather have different activities that work with a variety of sports, go with one of the books by Ken Lumsden instead.

Excellent text for all phys ed teachers.

In assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of this text, probably the drawings are the weakest part, the dotted lines of action are at times quite confusing in the badminton & golf section and there seems to be an overabundance of male representation in most of the sports( but equal in the dance area).I would like to have seen a field hockey unit and some creative dance. But these are the only negative comments in 627 pages. WOW!!!!!!!
The strengths of the book are overwhelming. Ms. Kleinman emphasizes important facets that many teachers overlook.
* More action less oral explanation -too many teachers have Kids sitting listening to far too much info and forget they learn by DOING.She provide many examples of how to keep them moving, giving good hints on how to organize large numbers for maximum participation.
* Motivation is important - the example of using popular videos ( White Knights) for dance was excellent as were other suggestions.
* Using MIMETICS as part of the Warm up was a GREAT idea. It is often done immediately prior to a skill introduction but the thought of using it as a warm up was exciting, so much better thanboring Jumping jacks and static stretches.
* The development and progression of skills and strategies were excellent, the integration of skills with mini games is so natural to keep the interest level up. And making adaptations of regular rules to encourage the newly learned skills was clearly highlighted. The division into beg/intermediate/advanced units simply identifies logical progression, too often people teach the same skills year after year.
* Teaching during tournaments is something that many teachers forget. Playing is a learning environment but analysis is essential to embrace an educational setting and Ms. Kleinman offers the teacher areas of focus for games analysis.
* Assessment in schools too often pertains to a statistical evaluation -how many baskets were scored? Whereas this texts provides very specific rubrics that are clearly identified and relate to the process and development of skill including understanding and application of strategy and defense play, something which very few other books have addressed.
* Similarly the provision of a quiz at the end of each unit gives the teacher ideas on how to test cognitive knowledge in practical subjects.
These are all refreshing new additions to texts in the field and this book should be on the desk of every physical education teacher in the country. The addition of a CD ROM which allows teachers to make adjustments to the evaluation and assessment charts, to personalize them for their own classes/students, is an incredible bonus. As is the recognition of modem technology with inclusion of current web sites as extra resources.
Reading through this text made me excited about teaching again and wondering if I had retired too early! Congratulations it is an excellent publication.
