You don't need to be a gymnastics expert to teach introductory tumbling. With dozens of skills, drills, and lesson plans for children, ages 5 through 13, Teaching Tumbling makes it easy to incorporate these fundamental skills into your classes. 
The most complete resource of its kind, Teaching Tumbling outlines 86 basic tumbling skills designed to introduce children to gymnastics safely and correctly, develop their strength and flexibility skills in preparation for physical activities, and enhance their motor development.
Unlike other how-to books on tumbling, this user-friendly guide provides 42 sequenced lesson plans organized around movement themes. Each lesson includes objectives, warm-up ideas, new skills, time guides, and equipment needed. 
To make tumbling instruction as efficient and effective as possible, author and gymnastics veteran Phillip Ward also packs the book with these valuable features: 
-Critical elements, cues, and prompts for each skill
-Skill finder to match activities to lesson plans
-Scope and sequence chart to help you plan curricular content
-Full-page, reproducible task cards to laminate for circuit stations
-Skills checklist to evaluate student progress
-Illustrated drills and skills
-Assessment suggestions
-Teaching tips for working with children in grades K-6
-Recommended tumbling and gymnastics resources and materials
Teaching Tumbling is divided into three easy-to-follow chapters that guide you from tumbling basics to lesson planning. 
Chapter 1 reviews effective teaching methods and assessment techniques, and discusses safety issues, equipment, and proper form. 
Chapter 2 highlights 86 basic tumbling skills from three general categories: balances and supports, rotations, and springs and landings. You'll learn the basic principles behind a particular skill and the most effective way to teach it. You'll also find a diagram, a list of critical elements, hints and cues for instruction, and additional drills.
Chapter 3 organizes the basic tumbling skills into lesson plans. You can modify these lessons or use them as a benchmark when developing your own curriculum.

This delightful, practical book guides the traveler through the attractions of the cities of Cracow, Gdansk, and Warsaw, with excursions to the mountains around Zakopane, the salt mines of Wieliczka, the concentration-camp complex of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Teutonic Order's castle at Malbork, and the Baltic towns of Sopot and Gdynia. Cracow, the medieval capital, remains one of the most romantic cities of Central Europe, with Wawel Castle and Cathedral, the Renaissance Cloth Hall and Market Square, great churches and monasteries, museums and theaters. A vibrant hub of hanseatic trade in former times and of the Solidarity movement more recently, Gdansk is a bustling seaport with maritime traditions and a totally different atmosphere from other Polish cities. Warsaw, devastated in World War II, has become a lively center of commerce industry, and government, The Royal Way from the newly restored Castle to Wilanow Palace had shops, great palaces, and the picturesque Old Market Square. Travel writer Philip Ward has explored fifty countries around the world. His interpretations of the face and heart of Poland, past and present, will strike the reader as compelling, provoking, and above all, unique.

As a physical educator (or student preparing to become one), you need to know more than the skills, techniques, and tactics of the sports and activities you teach. You need to understand, among other things, how to create task progressions, how to organize and adapt those tasks, and how to detect and correct student errors. Effective Physical Education Content and Instruction will help you learn how to do just that. 
Theoretical Framework and Evidence-Based Plans
 This text provides a theoretical framework to work from and gives you ready-to-use, teacher-tested content that is evidence based. Sample block plans are designed to help students of differing ability levels engage in skillful play. You'll be able to draw from teaching progressions that are game-like, developmental, and sequential in nature. 
Effective Physical Education Content and Instruction offers the following: 
 • Sequential units with block plans 
 • Ready-to-use instructional tasks and warm-ups 
 • Teaching cues 
 • Explanations of common errors, their causes, and how to correct them 
 • Content maps for each unit 
 • A web resource that houses enlarged versions of the content maps, along with sample student awards and fair play guidelines 
 The content maps provide a roadmap for success in the attainment of goals and outcomes. The cues in the text, which assist in the detection and correction of student errors, act as an additional aid to help students achieve success. 
Content Proven to Be Highly Effective
 The approach and content in Effective Physical Education Content and Instruction have been proven to increase student learning as compared to other approaches. In fact, in one of the largest-ever intervention studies on teaching effectiveness in physical education, teachers who were taught to use this approach and content significantly improved the quality of their teaching and produced some of the highest learning gains for students reported in the physical education literature. 
Book Organization
 The book is organized into three parts. Part I lays the groundwork for successful teaching—undestanding and acquiring content knowledge, then conceptualizing and organizing that content for teaching. Part II explores the keys to teaching fundamental skills—understanding early elementary locomotion, and teaching elementary gymnastic skills. Part III consists of specific sport units for elementary, middle, and high school students, with each chapter providing the following: 
 • An explanation of the approach 
 • Maps that define the content and its interrelationship 
 • Block plans, warm-ups, and lesson organization 
 • A series of instructional tasks, which include the following: the purpose of the instructional task; equipment needed for instruction; a description of the instructional task; teaching cues; common errors, their causes, and how to correct them; and diagrams, as applicable. 
Based on Extensive Research
Effective Physical Education Content and Instruction is based on decade-long research conducted by Phillip Ward. It has been deveeloped in collaboration with a team of master teachers who know the content and how to teach it. The result of their work is a rock-solid theoretical framework that offers practical applications, developmental progressions from beginner to advanced, and scheduling options. By using a framework that is proven to be effective (as evidenced by research), you can focus on tailoring the instructional plan to your students so they can acquire the sport skills they need, enjoy their participation in physical education, and make the most of their time in your class.

Effective Physical Education Content and Instruction: An Evidence-Based and Teacher-Tested Approach

Lehwald, Harry

Core practices--content-specific practices that offer strategies to support student learning--are common in many subject areas but have been curiously missing for health educators&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. until now. Core Teaching Practices for Health Education is a compact and precise book that serves up effective core teaching practices for preservice and practicing health educators as well as for health teacher educators. Teachers can apply the evidence-based practical tips and strategies the minute they step into their classrooms; even veteran instructors will discover new teaching tactics that will be useful. Core Teaching Practices for Health Education offers the following: <ul> <li>Twenty-first-century teaching skills that are specific to health education</li> <li>Practices that are highly transferable across the spectrum of health education and applicable across grade levels</li> <li>Fifteen concise and practical chapters, each of which details a core practice in action, explains the practice, gives additional examples of the practice, and provides clear guidance on how to use the practice in health classrooms</li> </ul> Great Prep for Teaching Assessments Such as the edTPA The text is a great resource for aspiring teachers as they embark on their student teaching semester and as they prepare for teaching assessments such as the edTPA, increasingly required in many states. They will learn how to design lesson plans, unit plans, and complete health education curricula to effectively teach health concepts and skills; this directly relates to the video portion of the edTPA. In addition, the book's final two chapters directly relate to the Analyzing Teaching portion of the edTPA Ideal for Preparing Curriculum In addition, Core Teaching Practices for Health Education is ideal for teachers who are charged with creating health curricula for middle and high school programs--and for other teachers who are thrust into the role of health educators with little or no health education background. Book Organization Core Teaching Practices for Health Education is organized into three parts. Part I introduces the idea of core practices and focuses on planning to teach health education (e.g., big ideas, enduring understandings, essential questions, sequencing health content, assessment). Part II explores the pedagogy of health education, including organizational routines and procedures, building a safe and caring environment that is focused on learning, and adapting instruction to meet the needs of students. Part III guides readers through reflective practices on teaching and lesson improvement. Each core practice has its own chapter. Perfect Companion to Two Other Guides This affordable guide is a perfect companion to Essentials of Teaching Health Education, Second Edition, by Sarah Benes and Holly Alperin (Human Kinetics, 2022) and Health Education edTPA Online Preparation Guide by Stacy Furness (Human Kinetics, 2022). For future teachers in states that require the edTPA, these three resources supply everything they need to become successful health educators. Preservice teachers, current teachers, and health teacher educators will find Core Teaching Practices for Health Education to be of lasting value as they use the book's health-education-specific teaching practices to improve teaching and learning.
