Dynamic Physical Education for Secondary School Students
English
By (author): Heather Erwin Jr. Paul W. Darst Robert P. Pangrazi Timothy A. Brusseau
DPE is an ideal resource for preparing preservice physical educators to feel confident and effective in the class setting from day one. It provides the foundational knowledge to teach quality physical education and complements that learning with a host of ready-to-use activities and lesson plans. PETE students can use each lesson plan as is or build their own lesson plans from the provided activities.
The principles of DPE have been implemented and studied for more than five decades and have stood the test of time. The text emphasizes skill development, activity promotion, and physical fitness behaviors that serve as the foundation of quality physical education programming and teaching. The enhancements in this 10th edition continue to build on those pillars to put theory into practice:
- Updates throughout the text stress the importance of culturally relevant pedagogy and curricula and emphasize socialemotional learning.
- QR codes link directly to complete units and lessons on the Dynamic PE ASAP website so readers can immediately see application of specific activities.
- Activity chapters have been reorganized around game themes to better align with current curriculum approaches, and new activities and games (such as pickleball) have been added.
DPE continues to meet the needs of preservice and in-service teachers in developing curricula that meet physical education standards.
DPE continues to be one of the most widely used and influential secondary physical education texts in the field. It helps readers implement current best practices and equips students with the information they need to create engaging and meaningful PE programs. See more
