The items listed in this appendix comprise a short list of materials evaluated recently by Saskatchewan educators and considered appropriate for support of the new Physical Education 6-9 curriculum. The intent of this listing is to provide teachers with suggestions for building a wide collection of suitable support materials. These resources, as well as others, will be contained in a more extensive bibliography to be distributed during 1995.
When budgeting for the purchase of resources for the new Physical Education 6-9 curriculum, schools should keep in mind that textbooks represent only one form of support material. It is not always necessary or even advisable to purchase one textbook for every student. In most instances, a classroom set of textbooks is not recommended.
Items listed in this appendix are available for purchase from the distributors listed at the back of the document. The Saskatchewan Learning Resources Distribution Centre (LRDC) stocks most of the key resources for Physical Education 6-9. Prices quoted are subject to change and do not include taxes, but will serve as a guide to approximate cost.
It is the responsibility of each school division to preview the recommended resources and to select the ones that meet the needs of their particular schools and communities. Preview policies vary from company to company, but in the case of the LRDC, preview copies are not supplied. Please note that if materials are to be returned to the LRDC, a 10% restocking fee of up to $2.00 per item will be charged. Returned materials must be in saleable condition. It is advisable to order one copy of each resource to review before placing large orders.
Video programs are available for duplication from Media Group. Schools are responsible for costs of postage, a charge of $1.00 per title, blank tape and applicable taxes. Blank tapes may be supplied by the school or purchased from Media Group.
