"Teaching basic gymnastics: a coeducational approach provides methods of teaching and spotting for many beginning and some intermediate gymnastic skills. Emphasis is placed on guiding instructors in working with students in typical physical education classes. Instructors are urged to encourage students to seek their own individual levels of success rather than "perfect" performance. In most physical education classes, the typical student does not have the time to develop skills beyond the level of advanced beginner. Therefore, Teaching basic gymnastics does not address true intermediate or advanced skills. The events presented in the text include coeducational apparatus, individual and dual activities, pyramids, and modern rhythmic gymnastics. The level and number of skills presented in each teaching situation will depend on the amount of time available for the gymnastics unit and the instructor's expertise&… Throughout the text attention is given to the importance of providing a safe learning environment by way of careful inspection and proper use and placement of mats and apparatus. Class organization is also discussed."
