DESCRIPTION

This course will prepare you for understanding movement from a theme, skill, and functional

perspective. In combination with the Ministry's Integrated Resource Package, recommended text,

handouts, and interactive teaching experiences, you will learn the main principles of teaching

physical education for kindergarten and up to grade 12.

memories of physical education as well as your constructed classroom experiences.
