"Used as an applied professional resource to provide primary and secondary/K-12 classroom teachers as well as PE teachers with the understanding and tools to increase the uptake of healthy, active lifestyles amongst their pupils across the wider curriculum and within school-based settings. This is an easily accessible and handy guide for teachers to refer to when planning their upcoming lessons and activities. The book provides school sport coordinators and community sport supervisors with a good understanding of how to achieve, support and manage effective whole school approaches to the promotion of healthy, active lifestyles that are inter-linked with PE yet not limited to it exclusively. This extends to wider community-based initiatives and extra-curricular activities and clubs with which schools are closely affiliated" -- Provided by publisher.
