| Grade Range: | |
| K–6 | |
| Course Description: | |
Activity Units The activity units in elementary school adapted physical education are designed to meet the special motor skills, functional movement/game skills, and physical fitness needs of the students served. Whenever possible, the units and activities are as much like and integrated into general physical education offerings as possible. Students enrolled in direct service adapted physical education typically participate one to two times weekly; additional service delivery options and participation in general education programs are utilized as appropriate and possible to do so. These services include (1) participation in general physical education; (2) participation in general physical education with appropriate modifications; (3) specially designed physical education; (4) adapted physical education (which could mean direct service, collaboration, or consultation). The physical education content and performance standards are intended to provide guidance regarding what is expected of students in this course. A student’s IEP will indicate which standards are appropriate for that student. | |
