A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All professions have their jargon, but the language of the education world is so impenetrable that it has become the stuff of internet jokes. This book translates and defines the terms and jargon unique to the K-12 world. What's the difference between Title I, Title IX, and Title VII? How does a norm-referenced test differ from a criterion-referenced test, or from a high-stakes test? What do classrooms look like when cooperative learning, experiential education, constructivism, block scheduling, or inclusion are being implemented? The Education Week Guide to K-12 Terminology will be a must-have reference for those new to the field, and will give veteran educators the language they need to explain terms to parents, school boards, and the outside world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every profession has its own terminology and acronyms that are essential to know in order to better communicate, not only with others in the profession, but also with those who interact with and use the services of that profession. Perhaps no professional field has more unique terms, abbreviations, and acronyms than that of education. Whether you are a teacher, paraeducator, support staff, or educator-in-training, it is essential that you know important educational terms and acronyms. Even parents need to know many of these terms and abbreviations as they try and navigate the educational system for the benefit of their children. Although it is impossible to list all terms, educational abbreviations, and acronyms, this reference guide provides a comprehensive list of those used most often in the field. Some additional terms may be specific to your state or school, and you will need to check with your State Education Department and/ or your local district so that you can add those to your knowledge base.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armageddon, Eye of the Messiah, is about the journey of a human soul that has endured wars in Heaven, Hell, and the Earth. Armageddon reawakens these two immortal human beings to a new adventure greater than life itself. Their quest is to save life itself. The Dark Lord has once again threatened to consume all life and man as we know him is happy to help him out. Man has chosen the new Caesar and God has chosen his Christ. Armageddon, Eye of the Messiah, teaches that life is a relentless will of the human spirit and we must always fight for its preservation, no matter how great the odds. When a human being loses the will to fight for what is right, he is always subjected to what is wrong. When he loses his will to fight for life than that person has truly never lived.
