Assessing Inclusion in Physical Education: Using the Lieberman-Brian Rating Scale for Physical  Education (LIRSPE) (K-12) 

Students in all grade levels enter Physical Education (PE) classes with wide variation in skill level and ability to access the tasks of the PE program. PE teachers must intentionally plan to include learners of all abilities in their classes. This session, presented by the Office of School Wellness Programs, introduces the Lieberman-Brian Inclusion Rating Scale for Physical Education (LIRSPE). The scale is used to assess the efforts of PE teachers to include all learners in the PE program when planning for instruction. Participants will review the LIRSPE tool, use it to assess strengths and gaps in their inclusive practices and discuss and share strategies to ensure all students have appropriate access to PE learning experience.
