Organization and Administration of Physical Education, 2nd Edition (EPUB)

This edition is thoroughly updated by two award-winning educators, Jayne Greenberg and Judy LoBianco, who are joined by a sterling list of contributors who have taught at every education level in urban, suburban, and rural settings.

In this second edition, the roles and responsibilities of PE administrators are examined through theoretical and practical lenses. Beyond incorporating the revised PE standards and the latest research throughout, other enhancements to this edition include the following:

• An expanded technology chapter that addresses equity and the digital divide, remote learning, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence
• A more comprehensive chapter on teacher and program evaluation
• A new chapter on social-emotional learning (SEL) with connections between content, pedagogy, and practices
• A new chapter on diversity, equity, and inclusion that provides culturally responsive teaching approaches to elevate the participation of underrepresented teachers and students
• New content for physical education department chairpersons

The result is an essential manual for future and current administrators in PE leadership positions who want to acquire new skills in the primary six areas of responsibility.

Part I explores leadership and management styles and presents practical theories of motivation, development, and planning for the essential components of a quality PE program.

In part II, readers examine various curriculum, instruction, and assessment models and get guidance on planning special events.

Part III helps administrators plan new school facilities or renovate existing ones, and it presents contemporary concepts in universal design and sustainable environmental design. It also offers ideas on how to incorporate technology, including developing online PE courses.

Part IV explores communication, legal issues, and human resources so administrators can learn how to advocate for their programs.

Part V explains the fiscal responsibilities inherent in administrative positions and shows how administrators can secure independent funding, offering many examples of grants and fundraising opportunities with sample grant applications.

Part VI, new to this edition, explores the integration of content and pedagogy with SEL practices. It also offers legal and practical strategies to enhance the involvement of those who are underrepresented in PE.

Each chapter also includes sidebars from professionals, who share tips and insights on successful program implementations. To further enhance practical application, readers have online access to downloadable forms, checklists, and other supportive materials.

Published with SHAPE America, this text offers the solid foundational theory and practices needed for today’s challenges in PE administration.
