Lesson Planning for High School Physical Education provides
standards-based, ready-to-use lesson plans that enhance student learning
and help students become physically literate. Designed to complement the
successful elementary and middle school books in the series, this book
also provides guidance on how to plan effective lessons that align with
SHAPE America's National Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12
Physical Education.
Lesson Planning for High School Physical Education is written by
master teachers and edited by SHAPE America. In this book, you'll find:
- More than 240 lesson plans that provide deliberate, progressive
practice tasks and integrate appropriate assessments to evaluate and
monitor student progress
- Innovative and unique modules on topics such as fly fishing, rock
climbing, line dance, yoga and stress management, and more, as well as
more traditional modules
- Introductory chapters that present the key points for the grade
span, putting the lessons in context and providing teachers and PE
majors and minors a clear roadmap for planning curricula, units, and
lessons
- Lessons that reflect best practices in instruction, helping
teachers enhance their effectiveness
- Expert guidance in delivering quality lessons that are designed
to reach objectives and produce outcomes, and not just keep students
occupied
The lessons correspond to each category in SHAPE America's National
Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12 Physical Education, and are
sequential and comprehensive--you get complete, ready-to-use units and
not just individual lessons that don't connect. The lessons include
resource lists, references, equipment lists, and student assignments.
The accompanying web resource offers easy access to printable PDF files
of the lessons. Your administrator will be able to see at a glance that
the lessons in the book are designed to meet the national standards and
outcomes created by SHAPE America.
The lessons in Lesson Planning for High School Physical Education can
be used as they are or modified to fit the needs of your students. They
also are perfect models for teachers and college students to use in
creating their own lessons. The text includes instructional strategies
such as how to teach for transfer, utilize grids and small games,
differentiate instruction for varying ability levels, integrate
conceptual material, and more.
The book is organized into two parts. Part I explores issues pertinent
to planning for high schoolers' success, including how to plan lessons
using SHAPE America's Grade-Level Outcomes, meeting the National
Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes, developing an electives-based
program for high school students, and the importance of teaching for
student learning.
The lesson plans themselves are found in Part II, and each lesson
aligns with SHAPE America's National Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes
for K-12 Physical Education. Part II offers plans in these categories:
- Outdoor pursuits
- Individual-performance activities
- Net and wall games, such as badminton and tennis
- Target games
- Dannce and rhythms
- Fitness activities, such as Pilates, resistance training, and yoga
- Personal fitness assessment and planning
Each category contains modules of 15 or 16 lessons, each of which
incorporates various National Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes. For
example, you can address Standard 4 outcomes--which are about personal
and social responsibility--during lessons on net and wall games, lessons
on dance and rhythms, and so on.
With the high-quality lesson content and the many tools and resources
provided, Lesson Planning for High School Physical Education will help
teachers foster their students' physical literacy and help students
develop physically active lifestyles that they can maintain throughout
their adult lives.
