A Practical Guide To Teaching Physical Education In The Secondary School

A Practical Guide to Teaching Physical Education in the Secondary School This practical and accessible workbook is designed to support student physical education teachers as they develop their basic teaching skills, and increase their broader knowledge and understanding for teaching physical education. Newly qualified and beginning teachers should also find it useful. A Practical Guide to Teaching Physical Education in the Secondary School provides a wealth of practical activities and materials, underpinned by relevant evidence/theory, which have been developed through the authors’ vast experience of working with student teachers. These activities provide opportunities to analyse learning and performance. The book has been designed to be written in directly, and so provide a useful record of progress. Case studies are also included, as are examples of existing good practice and a range of tried-and-tested strategies. The book has been written to complement Learning to Teach Physical Education in the Secondary School: A Companion to School Experience, 2nd edition (edited by Susan Capel), and can be used to reinforce some of the basic teaching skills covered in that textbook. However, the book can also be used equally successfully as a stand-alone text. It has been designed to be used by student teachers, on their own or with others, or by school- or university-based tutors with their student teachers, to develop and/or reinforce their understanding of some of the important aspects of learning to teach physical education.
