Bodies and Brains in Motion: Helping Kids Make Connections
Differentiation is the conscious design of curriculum to meet the needs of each different learner. In this session participants will experience and learn how to design innovative lessons that put differentiation strategies in motion across the motor, cognitive, social, and emotional domains so that each child succeeds in physical education. Because fitness concepts and fitness testing do not always make sense to students, participants will also learn first hand how to teach the five components of “Health Related Fitness” in an object lesson format that allows students to see, feel and understand HRF components. .
