Adapted Physical Education services during General P.E. class will allow for:
Active Participation: Students participate in the class activities with their peers at a challenging yet comfortable level according to their abilities. While participating in the general P.E. class the students’ opportunities for participation and repetition will be increased with the support of the A.P.E. staff by specific instruction, visual materials, and adapted equipment.
Safe environment: The A.P.E. staff and P.E. instructors are aware of activities that may pose an uncomfortable situation due to the nature of the students’ abilities. We will present the student opportunities to feel comfortable and confident that their safety will be ensured..
Adaptations as needed to the equipment and class: Adaptations and modifications to equipment, rules of the games, and class requirements are determined and made specifically to their needs in P.E. class.
The P.E. class generally includes:
· Warm-ups: The students work to increase endurance and strength in the following areas: cardio, arm, abdomen, and leg muscles.
· Class games: The students focus on their understanding of the sequencing of the games, following instructions, understanding the objectives of the games, and have opportunities for sportsmanship.
· Fitness testing: The students work on developing correct form and endurance to perform sit-ups, push-ups, running, and jumping skills. (The middle schools will be using the Presidential Fitness Testing and South weight room.)
