Document Summary
Ltad: fundamentals + font matter + physical literacy + developmental age + sensitive. The skill theme approach describes both the content (what to teach) of children"s physical education and the teaching process (how to teach) The skill theme approach is based on developmentally appropriate principles that recognize children have different interests, abilities, and motor skills. Teachers decide what students can learn in a lesson, develop a series of tasks designed to assist the children accomplish the lesson objective, and then assess the objective to determine if the lesson objective(s) have been accomplished. Children develop at different rates; age does not predict motor ability; children develop motor skills naturally through play; difference in physical abilities between boys and girls. Traditional games such as duck-duck-goose are not encouraged because they encourage only a few children to be physically active; the less skilled and overweight, or less physically fit children tend to find ways to avoid actively participating in games.
