'Revealing and illustrating many pathways to teaching physical education, this book provides a helpful foundation for future teachers and will prove useful to current practitioners, teacher-prep programmers, and administrators. A former physical education teacher and an award-winning researcher in physical education, Stidder (Univ. of Brighton, UK) outlines the historical evolution and relevance of physical education in schools and the purpose and place of physical education in curricula. The book provides a clear picture of what to expect in the profession and will be useful for mentors and those building a model of instruction for preparing future educators. This reviewer particularly appreciated the personal accounts of teachers in the field, which give a glimpse of the everyday joys and struggles of physical educators. In clarifying the routes to teaching physical education, the book could serve to attract potential students. In addition, in a secondary physical education curriculum, the book can serve as a textbook for an introductory foundations course, in which it will reinforce the evolution from first-year study to student teaching, certification, interviewing, and employment as a teacher of physical education.'
