In this resource, teachers are challenged to answer two key questions about their physical education program: What is worth doing? and Is what I am doing working? When teachers become aware of their primary orientation to teaching physical education, they will be able to plan a more effective program. The orientations presented are reflected in the Saskatchewan physical education program. The teaching strategies presented relate to five different curriculum models: teaching motor skills, teaching games, teaching fitness, teaching concepts, and personal and social development. Included in this scholarly resource are a table of contents, a bibliography, and an index.
