Contemporary Elementary and Middle School Physical Education Conference Proceedings (Atlanta, Georgia, January 17-19, 1985).

Jones, Margaret A., Ed.

The Contemporary Elementary and Middle School Physical Education Conference was devoted to over 30 workshops and demonstrations of games and sports that may be used by teachers to improve physical fitness and cardiovascular strength in young children. There were also seminars and workshops focusing on disruptive behavior, curriculum development, eating disorders, and individualizing physical education. Discussion groups considered parent attitudes toward physical education and therapeutic recreation in special education. Descriptions are given of class activities, games, and outdoor activities appropriate for children from kindergarten to eighth grade. (JD)
