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."

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.

Looking forward to being a part of your conference!

#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.

What an amazing opportunity!

#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.

It’s about to kick off! @SHAPEWV convention at the Bridge! I’ll be on Basketball Court #3 presenting: 11:00 “Why We All Need an Adapted PE Bucket” 1:45 “High Quality PE = Adapted PE” @GopherSport @shapemaryland @MAPEC_Members

I’m on my way! It’s 240 miles to Bridgeport, WV where the @SHAPEWV convention kicks off tonight! Looking forward to presenting x2, catching up with friends and making new ones all while learning and growing surrounded by people who value this work.

I’m registered!

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”

Bradley! Spring Clamps! Brilliant! Especially thought the back of the chair + pool noodle instant low basketball hoop is fantastic. Adding "spring clamps" to my #AdaptedPE bucket asap. @PELearnPlay

I’m so appreciative when a student has a one-on-one who is always ready to engage. It’s an art to know when to step in to assist or step back and allow the student to work through the struggle. It really made a difference for this student today in his #AdaptedPE lesson.

Thankful for a day of professional learning with @BaltCitySchools #AdaptedPE team. It’s challenging to grow when you are silo’d but when we come together and work hard, challenge assumptions, and listen to understand we can make a lot of progress.

One Week from today I'll be joining @SHAPEWV for their convention at the Bridge Sports Complex. I'm facilitating 2 sessions, with giveaways from @GopherSport at the end of each! "Why We All Need an Adapted PE Bucket" 11:00am "Adapted PE = High Quality PE" 1:45pm See you there!
