Teaching Health and Physical Education in Early Childhood and the Primary Years (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780190311476)

Teaching Health and Physical Education in Early Childhood and the Primary Years offers a practical resource for pre-service teachers that covers Health and Physical Education (HPE) in child development from birth to 12 years of age whilst linking to the Early Years Learning Framework and the Australian Curriculum.

Practical and engaging, the text examines the importance of HPE for children and how this can be taught effectively in early childhood settings and schools. Covering fundamental movement skills, sports specific skills and game-based pedagogies, the book will have implications for a range of disciplines including the sport sciences, human movement studies, health and education, social policy and physical education.

Supported by a range of learning materials such as critical investigations, case studies and videos, Teaching Health and Physical Education in Early Childhood and the Primary Years provides students with the knowledge, and understanding to enhance wellbeing and equip them with the skills to inspire a healthy lifestyle in the children they teach.
