Pedometer Power: Using Pedometers in School and Community (2nd ed.)
The author encourages the use of pedometers within schools and outside of schools so that students will gain a realistic, deeper understanding of their own level of activity and become physically active at all times of the day. The book presents information on funding, purchasing, managing and using pedometers in physical education. The pedometer activities are classified into elementary and secondary levels and teachers are given ideas for guiding students to set personal activity goals.

BrainDance. Variations for Infants Through Seniors
In these videos, Anne Green Gilbert and her students (toddlers through seniors) demonstrate variations of the BrainDance. These exercises move through fundamental movement patterns that wire the central nervous system in the first year of life. The BrainDance offers benefits such as improved mood, reduced stress and increased alertness and concentration. It can be used at home, at school, in the office and in the dance studio for brain reorganization, connectivity/alignment, a centering body/brain warm-up or to wake-up or calm-down. Variations include rhymes with young children, standing, lying down, and sitting in chairs, travelling and working with partners.

Teaching Games for Understanding: Theory, Research, and Practice
As games are an important aspect of physical education, this book provides educators with current research and a conceptualization model for teaching games for understanding (TGfU). By exploring the learner's development of games knowledge, improvements in games teaching and learning occur. The book presents teaching and learning games at various levels. It also addresses the role of assessment in teaching games for understanding as well as integration of cooperative learning and tactical game models. Examples of teachers implementing TGfU illustrate the success of this model. This resource is a solid support for deeper understanding related to target games, striking/fielding games, net/wall games and invasion/territorial games. Included are a table of contents and an index.

Steps to Success Series
The series includes books on the most popular movement activities. Each title is written by an accomplished coach or player and provides skill instruction through progressions so that students can perform the basics and then advance to higher levels of performance. Students learn at their own rate through step-by-step activities. Assessment guides are included for students to rate their progress. Teachers in Saskatchewan who choose to use these books will need to make some adaptations in order to follow a curriculum that is designed conceptually, emphasizing skill development rather than the development of sport activities. Selected books, however, could be very useful, particularly for teachers unfamiliar with specific sport activities.

Brain Gains: Better Grades Through Fitness
The National visits an inner city high school in Saskatoon, SK, where teacher Allison Cameron tests the theory that vigorous daily exercise improves academic performance. City Park Collegiate is considered a high school of last resort for kids who haven't been able to make it anywhere else. The Grade 8 and 9 students contend with a wide range of behavioural problems: almost half are diagnosed with ADHD and many work at a Grade 4 level. When Allison came across groundbreaking research by Harvard psychiatrist John Ratey (author of Spark), showing a link between sustained aerobic activity and the brain's ability to learn, she took the data to her principal to make the case for a new approach. For Allison and her students, the program was a runaway success and test results prove it.
