This course is designed to provide early childhood, elementary and elementary/collaborative education majors with an understanding of how movement education relates to an individual child's personal development - intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. This course will prepare teacher candidates to plan age-appropriate physical activities and design developmentally appropriate motor skill experiences for young children. Pedagogical principles and instructional techniques in physical education will be incorporated with emphasis on fundamental movement and movement concepts taught through the contexts of rhythms and dance, games, and gymnastics.
