10. Knowledge-Based Approach • Class activity: Turn to the person next to you and see how many subdisciplines you can identify in 1 min.

11. Developmentally Appropriate Practices • The curriculum is appropriately designed, frequently using a scope and sequence, that will provide the student with the skills and abilities that are correct for their developmental stage. They take these skills and concepts and use them at the next level that has a more difficult challenge - a level that is also developmentally appropriate.

12. Developmentally Appropriate Practices • You've heard this term before, consider the age (general) and the individual (everyone grows and changes at their own pace) • Class activity: identify an eye-hand coordination activity that uses the skills of throwing and catching for beginning, intermediate and advanced levels.

19. Interdisciplinary • An educational process in which two or more subject areas are integrated with the goal of fostering enhanced learning in each subject area. • Cone, Werner, Cone - Interdisciplinary Teaching Through Physical Education

20. Interdisciplinary • Class activity: demonstrate various movement/athletic shapes or positions by representing various types of angles [90 degree (right), 180 degree (obtuse), 45 degree (acute)] • Class activity: estimate the length of the wall in human arm spans

21. Differentiated Learning • It represents a proactive approach to improving classroom learning for ALL students. • flexible grouping strategies • encourages student responsibility and choice • recognizes the individual and different ways of demonstrating knowledge and abilities

26. Assignment for next class: Goals of a Health and Physical Education Program • What do you want students to know and be able to do as a result of participating in a K-12 H&PE program? These are broad statements. Select goals for grade clusters: K-5, 6-8 and 9-12.
