Promoting Physical Activity and Health in the Classroom Summary

Promoting Physical Activity and Health in the Classroom by Robert P. Pangrazi

Promoting Physical Activity and Health in the Classroom responds to the growing trend in K-6 education, where classroom teachers with no specific Physical Education training must increasingly implement activities in nontraditional settings-often with limited space, equipment, time, and planning. The text is colorful, engaging, compact, and user-friendly. Its practical organization, combined with detachable, sortable index-size cards comprising more than 260 separate activities, enables teachers to implement them immediately and provides a unique resource not previously available to instructors.
