This teacher resource focuses on athletic (track and field) skills. It includes various skills and activities that are designed to promote learning opportunities and motivate Alberta (Canada) students to run, jump, and throw. It emphasizes the physical skills that form the basis of the track and field events in the 8th IAAF World Championships in Athletics. This international event will bring together 3,000 athletes and coaches from more than 200 countries as they come to Alberta in August 2001. The resource is intended to support implementation of the new K-12 physical education program of study and to support students' skill development related to running, jumping, and throwing as they correspond to athletic events.
