Physical Education in Schools (Paperback, 2 Rev Ed)

At a time when PE has become a compulsory part of the National Curriculum, this book focuses on the role of PE and sport in schools. This edition includes sections on the National Curriculum, vocational education, GNVQ and GCSE. Providing practical guidelines for developing the curriculum at all levels, the authors examine areas such as the games curriculum at Key Stage 3, the development of athletics, health-related exercise, promoting dance and the vocational and academic routes. The authors also emphasize the promotion of personal values and the importance of fostering communities of learning within PE departments.
