Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility Through Physical Activity; now entering its third edition; attests to author Don Hellison’s ability to shape and develop character and responsibility in children. Perhaps the success of Hellison’s book can be attributed to his status not only as a highly respected scholar-activist but as a teacher in the trenches working with inner-city kids. Kids in any situation will benefit from the thoroughly updated material in this edition; which presents practical; proven; easy-to-implement ideas for teaching personal and social responsibility (TPSR) in school; after school; and in alternative settings. It also supplies direction in teaching affective and social moral goals; an in-depth look into teaching character development and values; and a method for helping students develop personal and social responsibility. Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility Through Physical Activity offers much new material: • Strategies for alternative schools; afterschool programs; and the emerging youth development movement • Vignettes sprinkled throughout the chapters; written by TPSR instructors in various settings • Several chapters that have been completely overhauled • An expanded assessment chapter to help readers evaluate the impact of TPSR on their kids and apply the strategies • One new chapter on combining responsibility-based youth development with teacher preparation in physical education In addition; the book features “Kid Quotes†to help readers understand how kids respond to the TPSR approach; as well as forms and charts to help readers put the ideas and strategies to use. The result is a field-tested book that is the accepted curricular model in the field—and a resource that will enable teachers to help their students grow into solid citizens both personally and socially.

I already knew this but this book confirms itBy SheldonThis book is written in a very proper and scholarly manner; which makes the tone of the book quite dry at times. Nonetheless; Herbert Aptheker did extensive research about the slave revolts that happened in America; which is evident through the lengthy bibliography located in the back of the book. I learned much about the enslaved black person's mentality and it definitely was not docile and gullible. One of the instruments of control used by slave owners was religion but they only used certain scriptures that promoted their rhetoric of inferiority of the black race. They did not teach the biblical message of love and kindness; and the master class prescribed against doing so as it may have given enslaved blacks a different way of thinking about their social position in America. This book is full of gems and if you are really interested in this topic then you will be able to endure Mr. Aptheker's dull report about slave revolts.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Through a mass of detailed historical evidence; the author ...By Mac TimredThrough a mass of detailed historical evidence; the author makes it abundantly clear that the Antebellum South was highly militarized; although not overtly so; thus making it easier to see how the Southern States; expert in martial arts; would have thought they in their ignorance that they could beat the North. More to the author's point; also makes clear how the enslaved felt about their condition and how over a period of more than a century they never gave up hope.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A must buy.By Frazer Johnson JrHow is the not taught in every school in the United States of America? The history of people of African decent is literally the fabled story of freedom; justice and all the other stuff told to the rest of the world.
