This could empower any adult in a school in providing accommodations. It could even allow some students to take greater control of their learning and growth in #Physed! Thank you for sharing Jim.
Same goal. Different entry points. For many students, behavior isn’t about defiance. It’s about access, regulation, and figuring out what works. When we give them simple ways to adjust, we’re not lowering expectations, we’re making success possible

An #AdaptedPE student needed an accommodation for basketball shooting. Fortunately in my APE bucket I had gear ties, thank you @MrJustinLund, found an unused rack for gear, added a hula hoop and in minutes we were up and running. The student made 3 baskets in a row at one point!

Thanks for the videos so we can see, and share, your work in action.
Making adaptations that still give students authentic and meaningful experiences in our table tennis unit. First one is a simple TT trainer that allows for students to hit a stationary “real” ball. Second idea is from @DigitTheAPE . Perfect for serving, cardboard paddle attached

This is what #APE is all about! Independence, access, expectations, and fun! @MAPEC_Members @mcpshpe
He was determined to use a full size lacrosse stick to work on the lacrosse scoop, so with little creativity and using varied pieces of ball equipment, we were successful!

I have to give a shoutout to @JodysAPE. I watched her present back in 2017 and she opened my mind up to what is truly possible in PE(Anything is possible). I now call her a friend and we continue to share and bounce ideas off each other. Thanks Jody. I appreciate you.
For this Teacher Appreciation week we hope you take a moment to appreciate the work of a fellow teacher. So often, especially on this platform, we learn, grow, and "get through" with assistance from scores of #AdaptedPE and #Physed professionals.
