ABBOTSFORD (UCFV)

PREREQUISITE:

EDUC 401/402

DESCRIPTION

This course focuses on (K-b) physical education with an emphasis on elementary and middle school

PE programs. Discussions and activities will blend theory (movement education orientation) and

practice (practical ideas) as they relate to the movement components of the British Columbia I.R.P. with

an emphasis on three components (Games, Gymnastics, Dance). We will explore personal past physical

education experiences and develop a philosophical belief statement that will guide future physical

education instruction. There is an emphasis on inclusion, variety, choice, participation and attitude that

fosters a desire for lifelong physical activity.

You may be required to meet attend class in various locations (schools around the Abbotsford district)

as well as at the UCFV Abbotsford gym.
