Designing the Physical Education Curriculum: 3rd Ed

Designing the Physical Education Curriculum helps you individualize instruction by creating curricula tailored to the abilities and interests of your students.
In this book you'll learn how to design meaningful and effective physical education curricula by creating a focus, determining content goals, conducting learner analysis, deriving learning objectives, developing evaluation procedures, and devising learning experiences.
A sample curriculum for physical education is provided to illustrate each of the curriculum components and demonstrate how they all fit together.
To help you put the book's principles and concepts into practice, you'll find 43 self-directed activities that ask you to identify what you know, apply information to practical situations, solve curriculum-related problems, and create curriculum components. Also, each chapter contains a section in which practical questions are answered.
Become a curriculum designer instead of a curriculum consumer. You'll be able to take control of what you teach and have a greater impact on your students.
