You'll learn how to assemble modular lesson plans and how to increase their effectiveness using the teaching strategies presented. You'll also find a chapter on authentic assessment, which discussed the use of rubrics, portfolios, and portfolio cards.

Part II, "Teaching Modules," provides you with easy-to-follow, step-by-step directions for120 fitness-related activities, including:
· warm-ups,
· skill development activities,
· team-oriented activities, and
· individual and paired activities.
In addition, you'll find 10 detailed health-fitness modules-one for each month of the school year-which will help you present and reinforce key lifestyle concepts in addition to the "physical" components of physical education.
