Weaving Career Education into Physical Education and Sport: A Handbook.

Overview & Synopsis

Materials are provided to help teachers effectively acquaint students with the range of career opportunities in physical education, sport, and related areas and to offer insight into the process of weaving career education concepts into programs of physical education. An overview of the goals for career education from elementary school through secondary school is presented. Teaching suggestions for curriculum activities infusing career education into existing physical education and sport programs are outlined. Ideas are offered which have a broad application to the total physical education program, and suggestions are made which represent a unit rather than a class activities approach. A process is given by which students can assess their interest in career options in physical education, and an annotated bibliography containing resources for physical educators and students is included.
