In elementary schools across the United States, many teachers tasked with teaching health education or physical education have not had specific training in these areas. Health and Physical Education for Elementary Classroom Teachers: An Integrated Approach, Third Edition With HKPropel Access, is the perfect resource to equip both future and current educators with the essential knowledge and skills to teach these subjects.

Written by respected educators and health and physical education advocates, the third edition is based on the most recent national health education and physical education standards from both the National Consensus for School Health Education and SHAPE America. Along with the relevant state-specific academic standards, these standards provide critical guidelines to help educators improve lesson outcomes and empower elementary children to become healthy and active.

The third edition provides updated statistics on child and adolescent health-related indicators, and it includes new and expanded content on the following topics:

Meaningful physical education experiences
Universal design for learning
Best practices for school connectedness
Antibullying and antiharassment strategies
Physical activity breaks and class behavior management strategies
Healthy People 2030 indicators

Health and Physical Education for Elementary Classroom Teachers 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 to facilitate schoolwide collaboration that connects education to wellness.

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.

In addition, the book features valuable lab exercises to help teachers apply the concepts and practice designing their own standards-based lesson plans. Plus, related online learning materials delivered through HKPropel include key terms and review questions, as well as sample integrated activity plans for each of the four physical education standards and each of the eight health education standards.

Health and Physical Education for Elementary Classroom Teachers, Third Edition, provides the essential knowledge and strategies to seamlessly incorporate health education and physical education into an integrated curriculum.
