PHED 211 - EARLY CHILDHOOD PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR CLASSROOM TEACHERS

Hours: 3
This course focuses on physical education for the preschool-primary age child (ages 3-8) from the prospective of the classroom teacher. Emphasis will be on acquiring a basic understanding of and screening strategies for normal motor development; developmentally appropriate motor programming for all children; and teaching strategies for effective learner-task-environment (materials, equipment, etc.) interrelationships which enable young learners to develop the fundamental motor and rhythmic skills that form the basis of all games, dance, and sport activities. Attention will also be given to the importance of integrating movement across the curriculum for increasing learner ownership of content concepts and skills.
Prerequisites: EDUC 160 and INST 130, or permission of instructor.
