Obesity and obesity-related consequences -- Weight stigma and obesity bias -- Teaching students how to cope with obesity bias -- A conceptual framework for inclusion : social ecological constraint model -- Strategies for inclusion in physical education : applying the social ecological constraint model.
Summary:
Overweight students often suffer negative consequences with regards to low physical ability, skills, and fitness; obesity-related health implications; being teased and excluded from physical education by their peers; and psychosocial and emotional sufferings as a result of weight stigma. This has presented an unprecedented challenge for teachers to include them in physical education activities, even when they strive to provide individualized instruction for diverse learners and foster positive learning environments. Educators stand to greatly benefit from specific knowledge and skills to reduce bias and include overweight students. This title offers a compact and easy-to-read take on this problem.
