Teacher Readiness in Adapted Physical Education: Teaching the "Able," Not the "Label"
Bruno, Laura E.
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v91 n4 p14-21 2020
The majority of physical education teacher education (PETE) programs include some form of adapted physical education (APE) training for preservice teachers; yet PETE candidates report feeling underprepared to teach individuals with disabilities. The number of students with disabilities included in general education continues to grow, in accordance with inclusion legislation, particularly free appropriate public education (FAPE) and least restrictive environment (LRE). The aim of this article is to present a template or overview of the essential topics and methods that should be included in an APE course for PETE candidates.
