Schoolwide Physical Activity Book

A guide for those who believe physical activity for students is the responsibility of all school administrators and teachers, this book provides a blueprint for building a comprehensive K-12 physical activity program that extends beyond PE class and addresses the needs of all students.

Bring PE to All Classes

A fantastic resource for school teachers and administrators alike, this 352-page book provides K-12 staff with the tools they need to plan and administer exercise programs that go beyond PE class. These activities can be integrated into the classroom, on playgrounds, in before- or after-school programs, during intramural programs, and in community programs. The premise is that physical activity should not be the sole responsibility of Physical Education teachers, but should occur throughout the entire school.
