Description
Developing innovative after-school programs that combine physical activity and social-emotional skills development with academic enrichment is crucial for supporting students' learning. This book provides a research-based blueprint for creating such programs, specifically designed for grades 1-5.
The PAL Program offers an integrative approach to meeting the needs of all students, including those in high-poverty schools. The volume includes guidance on setting up and implementing a program, as well as working with mixed-age groups and monitoring outcomes. Reproducible forms and lesson plans are also included for easy use.
With this book, educators can create engaging physical games and learning activities that support students' academic development while promoting social-emotional skills and physical activity. A convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size makes it easy to download and print the reproducible forms and lesson plans.
