Make health and activity, a schoolwide responsibility not just confined to the PE class. Learn how, with this comprehensive new guide. The premise of this innovative guide is that physical activity in schools is not the sole responsibility of the PE teacher. It is the responsibility of all teachers and is most successful when integrated throughout the curriculum. "Schoolwide Physical Activity" offers a blueprint for building a physical activity programme, giving you ready-to-use activities and forms. It also gives programme ideas that address all children, not just the small group who enjoy physical activity. "Schoolwide Physical Activity" comes with a CD-ROM that contains all the printable activities and a website with an instructor guide, presentation package and test package.
