Informative Guide
The Purpose
The purpose of my project is to help inform general physical education teachers on how to create an inclusive physical education class for students with disabilities. To further explain, my project will be a place where educators can access important information quickly, allowing them to have a better understanding on how to accommodate their students. In addition, there will be tools to guide teachers to appropriate curriculum and activities that will create an inclusive classroom.
The importance for this project is to have general physical education teachers create an inclusive physical education class, versus and integrated one, by implementing evidence based teaching strategies. Not all teachers have experience or have learned how to work with students with disabilities in their professional careers. Having a source where teachers can go to receive information about a specific disability and how to accommodate or modify for that disability would be beneficial. Time and time again when people google or look for a source on adapted physical education, it is either blogs or websites discussing classroom strategies, or websites that looks like a research paper. Both don’t do a good job of helping educators learn and quickly obtain the information they need to be successful, my project addresses this need. My project will provide the necessary information in a user-friendly model which will allow general physical educators to utilize it as a resource when teaching students with disabilities.
