Timothy Sawicki, PhD, associate professor and director of the online physical education master’s program, published Teaching Students Through a Movement Education Approach by Mellen Press.
The 2nd edition textbook adds new information with the inclusion of national and state standards of physical education as part of the lesson and unit planning process. The textbook also delves into qualities of a good lesson in physical education, qualities of a good teacher, developmentally appropriate activities for the age group being taught, and modifying equipment and classroom/gymnasium management techniques. Additionally, Sawicki shares 20 time-tested lesson plans in physical education, which educators can adapt to the age group the teacher is instructing.
