Product Description
This book is unique because it focuses solely on the teaching process - the skills and techniques that successful teachers use to make their classes more interesting and developmentally appropriate. Novice and experienced teachers will learn practical skills and techniques to help them - motivate children to practice, build positive feelings, minimize off-task behavior and discipline problems, create an atmosphere of learning, maximize learning, develop lesson content, use a problem-solving approach, observe and analyze, provide feedback, and assess children's (and their own) progress.

 Become a better cross-curriculum teacher! January 9, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Dr. George Graham's text "Teaching Children Physical Education (2nd Ed.)" is an excellent resource for all elementary teachers interested in becoming "Master Teachers!" The book is a logically-laid out, progressive tool that introduces excellent classroom management techniques and methods for integrating Physical Education into the rest of the curriculum. As a teacher, I found this book, and the accompanying CD-Rom, to be an exceptional value!
 Great overview of pedagogy and practical applications. November 6, 1999

George covers the breadth of pedagogical content knowledge as it applies to beginning teachers in a comprehensive yet practical manner. All the basic, fundamental skills for beginning teachers to master are included. I have been using this book since 1994 with fabulous results. My students find its design easy to follow, its information straight to the point, and its development on target. I highly recommend this book for all entry level pre-service teachers.
