This book arose from a felt need for more Canadian (as distinct from U.S.) oriented content in the study of the organization of Canadian physical education. The resources for the book are heavily Canadian, and much of the data is based on the results of surveys conducted specifically for the book. In addition, a series of site visits to Canadian centers provided first-hand information for many aspects of the subject. A foreword to the book provides background information as well as an overview of the development of physical education in Canada. Chapter headings in the book are as follows: (1) "Theory and Practice of Organization, Management, and Leadership"; (2) "Scheduling Physical Education"; (3) "Class Management: Practices in Canadian Schools"; (4) "Organization and Duties Complementary to the Teaching Function"; (5) "School Programs"; (6) "Evaluation and Grading"; (7) "Intramural Athletics"; (8) "Interschool Athletics"; (9) "Facilities and Equipment"; (10) "Public Relations: Interpretation of the Program"; (11) "Legal Liability"; (12) "Financial Considerations"; (13) "Supervisors/Co-ordinators/Consultants"; and (14) "Organizations in Physical Education and Related Fields. Questions for exercises and discussion and a list of references are included. (JD)
