I've worked with hundreds of teachers and one of the top truisms I've seen is:
More important than "being right" is for a teacher to "do right" by a student.
Seek ways to help them access the content, demonstrate learning, and remain engaged.
We are "teachers" not lecturers.

Enjoyed this read. Especially:
"Different starting points should be expected.
Exercise variations should be normal, not treated as penalties. Progress should include better control and understanding—not only heavier resistance."
Beyond the Rep: Teaching Strength in K–12 PE
Strength training in PE isn’t about who lifts the most.
It’s about teaching technique, safety, confidence, and choosing the right challenge.
Go beyond counting reps. Teach students how to build strength.

Found another use for a roll of painter’s tape: A Base for a Ball to Help Keep it in Place.
Painter’s tape is definitely one of my Top 10 AdaptedPE “must haves” where would you rank it?

Thanks for the reminder that the need for quality APE is growing and it’s up to all of us in the PE/APE field to meet this moment.
Happy to share this advocacy article and call for more Adapted Physical Education teachers in the US tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… #AdaptedPE

#AdaptedPE 👨🎓 crushed his overhand throwing goal w/ time to spare so he was given options:
1. Different skill
2. 1:00 challenge
3. Throwing at smaller 🎯
He chose #3 so we hung a hoop w/ minimal tape as it crashed to the ground when hit by the ball making a fun sound.

#AdaptedPE 👨🎓 is learning about Health & Skill components of fitness.
Trying to make connections to specific movements at stations.
Next steps:
1. Make visual for the component match the station.
2. Have a “this or that” card to indicate if it is Health or Skill related.

Thank you @SHAPEWV for an awesome convention! It was joy to join you.
We learned, we connected, we laughed, we celebrated, we played, we reflected, & we definitely ate well!
Now attendees, what you do with the content shared l is what really determines the value of the event.

I end every #AdaptedPE lesson with a debrief, often w/ these prompts.
Starting w/ something the Ss liked eases into the conversation.
Highlighting 1 star & 1 stair allows the Ss to reflect on the goal by identifying a specific element.
These can help focus Ss’ on the learning

I shared this picture with a parent to illustrate how middle school peers were engaging, in fact initiating, physical activity with an #AdaptedPE student.
It’s taken a long time to get here but this is what the work is!
The parents response is going in my “note from family HoF”
