DISTINGUISHED PHYSICAL EDUCATION
“The intricate detail in this book comes from real classroom experience and the success Gary has seen in coaching physical education teachers using these strategies. I use this book for district-wide professional development, ensuring that we have a common understanding of best practices in PE, from novice to veteran teachers."
-Jen Smith, PE Instructional Curriculum Specialist
"So many resources are aimed at general classroom teachers, leaving disciplines like Physical Education in the dark. Finally, a book for Physical Education teachers written by an expert teacher and instructional coach who understands the challenges of teaching and learning in this specific context."
-Connie Navarro, Instructional Coach
"This book fills an enormous, glaring gap in the support system of every Physical Education teacher who feels like mentorship, instructional support, and resources just don't exist for them the way they do for other teachers."
-Michael Glawson, Ph.D
