Standards-Based Physical Education Curriculum Development

Standards-Based Physical Education Curriculum Development has been developed around the theme of the National Association of Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) standards for K-12 physical education. This innovative guide has been designed to teach students about the process of writing curriculum in physical education and was written by experts who have had specific experience designing and implementing this thematic curriculum. The text begins by looking at the national physical education standards and then examines physical education from a conceptual standpoint, addressing the "so what" of physical education. It then goes on to examine the development of performance-based assessments designed to measure the extent of student learning. The second part of the text explores the various curricular models common to physical education: sport education, adventure education, outdoor education, traditional/multi activity, fitness, and movement education. It goes on to describe each model, provide examples of curriculums that use it, show how the model links with physical education standards, and provide appropriate assessments for it.Lund, Jacalyn is the author of 'Standards-Based Physical Education Curriculum Development' with ISBN 9780763747169 and ISBN 0763747165.
