It's the hardest part. And we make it easy!



Setting up your class.

The Teacher’s Manual helps you set up your class with a guide to Getting Prepared.
Resources include a Letter to Parents, Student Health Record, Student Participation Contract
and Safety Guidelines. It also comes with a guide to Reading Your Textbook and
Navigating Your Textbook, a student-centred lead-in to the course.


Getting parents/caregivers involved.

A strong teacher-parent/caregiver relationship is crucial to understanding and reaching
every student in H&PE. HAL comes with a Sample Letter to the parent or
caregiver, to build this relationship and offer a window into H&PE, not "Gym."
It is important that our parents understand that H&PE is about their child’s
health, well-being and success. Families see what quality H&PE looks like,
and the impact it has on academic achievement, wellness and life skills. We want
parents to know that we’re designing personal fitness programs for students to foster lifelong
activity, and what topics will be covered to help them make informed decisions.


Create your reading lists.

Each Unit of the Teacher’s Manual comes with a Reading Planner for Students.
At a glance, teachers know the readings for each chapter section in the unit for grade 9 and 10.
Teachers can skim through and create their reading list, to meet the unique needs of their
classroom. It also comes with a list of Key Terms for each chapter.

Curriculum Correlations and Expectations

Strands and specific expectations at a glance!

The Teacher’s Manual comes with detailed Curriculum Correlations schedules for grades 9 and 10. Strands and specific expectations for each grade are outlined in these schedules. Teachers can see the strand, specific expectation and page numbers at a glance, while they’re lesson planning. Schedules break down the specific expectations codes, units, chapters, page numbers and topics.

"Thompson has done a brilliant job of meshing the curriculum with the resource...it's all there, a complete package."
