Adapted Physical Education

It is the goal of the adapted physical education program to prepare each student for a lifetime of physical activity, health and well-being, both inside and outside of the school, through the teaching of a high quality standards-based instructional program in a safe and positive environment.

Adapted Physical Education (APE) is a diversified program of developmental activities that are modified to meet the district's physical education standards. A carefully designed physical education program is developed and implemented within the psychomotor domain for individuals with disabilities. Assistance can be provided to students in the general education program and/or along a continuum of physical education services. The APE teacher must have a credential authorizing the teaching of APE, as established by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
