The ''traditional'' sport-driven, performance obsessed and arguably elitist delivery of physical education (PE) has, for many years, remained resistant to change. Why is that? Across the globe, obesity levels are rising, mental health concerns are sky-rocketing and physical activity participation rates continue to fall far short of CMO guidelines for so many. Meanwhile, PE curriculum time is being further marginalised in schools. At a time when inspiring and instilling healthy active habits in all young people could not be more important, what responsibility can we take as current custodians of the subject? Has the true value of our subject been lost or failed to evolve with the needs and motivations of our students? Is PE recognised as anything more than a basket of sports that is loved by some and hated by others? In other words, is PE in crisis? In this book we challenge and support you to consider the following: Is your current PE curriculum provision meeting your personal philosophy or ''why'' for PE? Does your day-to-day offer meet your departments curriculum intent? Do you fully understand and nurture physical literacy? Do you meet the needs of all students or just little versions of yourself? Does your offer genuinely prepare all students for their life beyond school? Is PE equally valued by all at your school? If the answer to any of the above questions is no, then surely it is time to change! PE has the potential to provide all students with the tools to live longer, feel happier and communicate more effectively. PE has the power to help you lead and be led, deal with stress, embrace failure and so much more. "This book encapsulates the journey of one head of PE in his pursuit of trying to design, implement and evaluate a more effective approach towards physical education curriculum design, promote inclusive pedagogies and a holistic approach to assessment. Lee is an inspirational practitioner who had, and continues to have, the courage to think differently in the best interests of his students. With a plethora of calls for the physical education community to adapt their approach from a game, skills-based and sport-techniques structure, but with little guidance on how this can be achieved, Lee has crafted a highly effective alternative approach. Lee provides an example here of how physical education can be re-designed to be more impactful, engaging, and meaningful in doing so it has also reinvigorated his and his student''s enjoyment of physical education and physical activity."

The study analyzed the effectiveness of a remedial mathematics summer camp on student achievement in mathematics for rising ninth graders in a rural Tennessee school district in Middle Tennessee. The researcher examined the subjects in terms of the categories of gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and camp completion rates.

Anthropogenic contamination of water bodies with excess nutrients and road salts has resulted in cultural eutrophication and freshwater salinization throughout the Midwestern and Eastern United States. This study focuses on the algal populations and chemical properties of two small, manmade water bodies; Gilmore Pond in Westborough, MA, and Peacock Pond in Norton, MA. Over the course of six months (late May-early November), environmental parameters including nutrients, ions, as well as temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and pH were measured to determine effects on pond trophic status and algal populations. Gilmore Pond was determined to be a eutrophic system, dominated by phytoplankton, with brown waters, likely resulting from terrestrial dissolved organic carbon inputs. Peacock Pond was determined to be a eutrophic system, dominated by benthic algae, with high salt contamination from surrounding roads and walkways. Additionally, a field study of the dinoflagellate Ciratium hirundinella in Peacock Pond revealed morphological changes with fluctuations in water temperature and phosphorus. Using past data on algal bioindicators and environmental parameters, a decline in water quality was observed in both water bodies between a similar survey in 2013 and the present study. The results of this study will be used by future student researchers and pond managers as we attempt to improve the aesthetic and ecological properties of these ponds.

"The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of documented institutional behavior of incarcerated individuals, and determine the probability, if any, that biorhythm played in such behavior, emphasizing the possibility of its relationship to violence...The general research questions involved in the current study may be stated thus: What is the relationship between biorhythms, and the behavior of incarcerated young men within the State of California Department of the Youth Authority? Also, how will the correlation of violent behavior to biorhythmically determined critical days compare to other types of infractional behavior and biorhythms?"--from introduction.

This research project was paramount, the title expressed the vision and purpose of the researcher as an under-shepherd of Christ. Implementing Christlike Love was not just designed for this church, but the key principle that was used in this project can inspire others. The problem addressed was a lack of true Christlike love in this church. Believers assumed that loving others would be automatic but loving like Christ requires God’s help. The purpose of this project was to appraise and resolve the perceived lack of Christlike love within the Johnson Grove Baptist Church. This researcher sought to provide a remedy for the perceived lack of love within the church. The project resulted in evidence that the church lacked love. Christlike love was difficult to project without biblical training and the help of the Holy Spirit. The researcher provided ten training modules on Christlike love, ten sermons focused on Christlike love and two questionnaires consisting of the same content, one before and one after the training, to determine if the training influenced the participants to love more like Christ. The participants scored higher on the second questionnaire after studying the modules on Christlike love and listening to the Christlike love sermons. They also realized the need to depend on the Holy Spirit to help them love like Christ. Hatred promotes racism and its ugly tentacles held captive many church members and had a paralyzing effect on some members in their attempt to love others. It crushed their confidence and hindered cross-cultural racial relationships. However, all churches can improve and love like Christ and demonstrate to an evil world, what it means to love everyone like the Savior.

Since Sandra Bem''s introduction of Gender Schema Theory (GST), researchers have analyzed how gender schemas influence children''s information processing (Signorella, Bigler, & Liben, 1993; Welch-Ross & Schmidt, 1996). These studies, however, tested schema processing using familiar gender-atypical information (e.g., "only boys play with dolls") instead of novel gender-atypical information (e.g., "only girls play with xylophones"). The present study seeks to fill this gap in the research by using novel gender-atypical information in order to test the extent to which children''s schemas influence their information processing. First, I tested children''s memory and preference for two picture books, one with a female main character and one with a male main character. These books included the character playing with novel gender-atypical and familiar gender-typical items. Second, I tested if boys and girls had dissimilar levels of gender stereotype knowledge (measured by a card sorting task based on Leinbach, Hort & Fagot, 1997). My first hypothesis was that children would have better memory for gender-typical than gender-atypical information. My second hypothesis was that children''s memory would be correlated with their scores on the sorting task. Finally, I hypothesized that children would prefer stories starring a protagonist of their own gender. My results did not support the idea that gender schemas are biasing children''s information processing. Limitations of my study include small sample size, more female than male participants, and the possible influences of children''s environment on their card sorting. Finally, I consider future research on the influences media has on children''s gender stereotypes.
