In this new edition, future K-12 physical educators will find an accessible and effective approach to delivering vital content to students.

A new chapter on social-emotional learning and trauma-informed practices helps prepare readers in areas that are crucial in today's educational landscape. A new special element, Critical Perspective on Teaching and Learning, helps future and current teachers understand the importance of critical analysis and equity issues in all aspects of teaching and learning, including the learning context, the student body, the curriculum, and what and how content is taught. This new edition also features expanded instructor ancillaries.
This comprehensive text covers what future teachers need to know about teaching K-12 physical education, offering a flexible, individualized approach to enhance student learning and acquisition of skills. As readers work their way through the text, they can acquire the following:
A strong working knowledge of standards and standards-based learning outcomes that will help students achieve those outcomes
