PREREQUISITE:

Educ 401/402

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

CONTENT

The content of the course will focus on the broad understanding of movements associated with children's

play. A 'ground up" approach of grouping these movements into games, sports, gymnastics, and dance will

assist you in seeing the relationship between movement themes and lesson plans. Your approach to

teaching in this course will be influenced by your recollected memories of physical education as well as your

constructed classroom experiences.
