Dynamic Physical Education for Elementary School Children, 20th Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Aaron Beighle, Robert P. Pangrazi
Now in its 20th edition, Dynamic Physical Education for Elementary School Children continues as a mainstay in the physical education field, providing preservice and in-service elementary teachers the foundational knowledge needed to teach quality physical education throughout their career. This comprehensive elementary methods textbook includes physical activities that meet the Dynamic Physical Education standards and outcomes that can be used in elementary physical education classes. New to this edition are QR codes linking readers to over 100 videos showing master teachers using the management strategies, fitness routines, skill instruction, and activities described in the book. The text is supplemented by the free interactive website Dynamic PE ASAP, which includes a lesson-building tool with more than 500 activities, a customizable 36-week yearly plan, free downloadable instructional signs and assessments, and curriculum plans and activity videos. Together, the book and website put a complete plan for quality physical education at teachers’ fingertips. The book also offers practical teaching tips, case studies of real-life situations to spark discussion, and instructor resources (an instructor guide, presentation package, and test package) that make preparing for and teaching a course a breeze. The 20th edition has been updated to reflect the latest knowledge and best practices in physical education, including the following:

• Dynamic Physical Education standards as a framework for a physical education program
• Content on equity, diversity, inclusiveness, justice, culturally sensitive pedagogy, and trauma-informed teaching
• A new chapter on racket-related skills for tennis, pickleball, handball, and badminton
• Additional lifetime activities, including golf, discs, and climbing wall

The 20th edition addresses the topics of equity, diversity, inclusiveness, justice, culturally sensitive pedagogy, and trauma-informed teaching based on current thinking and literature. Content has been added throughout early chapters to connect the teaching of physical education to issues of equity and justice that are critical for teachers in today’s schools. With its emphasis on skill development and the promotion of lifelong healthy activity, Dynamic Physical Education for Elementary School Children is highly applicable for both physical educators and classroom teachers. It is an ideal text to support an elementary methods PE course, providing the detail that PETE students need. The content is also very accessible to students learning to become elementary education teachers. With this latest edition, Dynamic Physical Education for Elementary School Children remains the go-to book for both preservice and in-service teachers—just as it has been for more than 50 years.
