Instructional Models for Physical Education

Ensures that physical educators are fully armed with a comprehensive plan for incorporating instructional models in their teaching!

Instructional Models for Physical Education has two primary goals for its readers. The first is to familiarize them with the notion of model-based instruction for physical education, including the components and dimensions that determine a model's pattern of teaching and how to select the most effective model for student learning in a particular unit. The second goal is to describe each of the instructional models in such a way to give readers enough information to use any of the models with confidence and good results.

The book includes everything readers will need for planning, implementing, and assessing when teaching with instructional models. It will help readers incorporate research-based practices in their lessons, adapt activities to include students of varying abilities, and teach to standards.

An instructional model is a unique plan of action, designed to facilitate certain learning outcomes for students. Each model establishes its own pattern of decision making, classroom operations, and responsibilities for the teacher and students. After each model is explained, it is followed with examples of lesson plans and suggestions for adapting the model to various teaching contexts with appropriate learning activities. For anyone interested in teaching methods for physical education.
