""I love the studies themselves and the questions for teaching and learning. We will be using this book to open up the eyes of our future professionals."" Karen Marley, Colorado State University - Pueblo, US ""If you have long looked for a way to bring the gymnasium into the classroom for critical issue discussions, this is a textbook for you. One of the difficult aspects of teacher training is trying to place students in a setting where relevant issues come alive and seem real. Case studies have been used in the past, but rarely have offered the requisite depth and feeling to make them realistic. Stroot and her collaborators have assembled a wide variety of case studies that are well written and carefully crafted. These studies focus carefully on problems that have long been ""hotspots"" in our profession. For example, topics such as role conflict, discipline, inclusion, teacher resisting change, and marginalization of physical education have long troubled many teachers regardless of their experience ... If you want a text that will encourage your students to think and reflect, I recommend this one. Prepare for some quality reflection!"" Robert P. Pangrazi, Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University, US ""Great stuff! Well written with great contemporary concepts and wonderful ideas for all levels of physical education enthusiasts."" Bob Nutgrass, Simpson College, Iowa, US ""After using Case Studies in Physical Education as a supplementary text for my lectures and discussions in my courses for a year or so, I found it to be most helpful in sparking dialogue among my students. Therefore, I have decided to adopt it as a required text for future courses and have no doubt that it will prove to be most beneficial."" Lance Bryant, Arkansas State University, US
