What are your favorite ways to celebrate National Adapted PE Week? I’d love to hear ideas that highlight inclusion, movement, & student strengths! How can we celebrate National APE Week in ways that truly uplift our students & teachers? @SHAPEAmerica @MAPEC_Members #AdaptedPE

@BHunterinBmore This is awesome Brad!! Student choice and relationship building!! Gotta love MD weather 😂

Today for #AdaptedPE week, my favorite color shirt wasn’t goin to work since it was 28 degrees this morning. So, I pivoted and made it “pick your favorite color” with choices for poly spots, bean bags, and markers made available. Celebrate what makes you YOU!

@Musser_APE @MAPEC_Members Yes!!! Let’s do that friend!! Thank you for all that you do! You are awesome!

@MAPEC_Members @AFallsPETeach Thank you @AFallsPETeach and @MAPEC_Members ! Let's meet up on video conferencing to plan for 2027!

#AdaptedPE week concludes tomorrow, Friday, with "Favorite Color Friday". Celebrate what makes you YOU! Shoutout to @AFallsPETeach for these daily pushes to raise awareness for APE & thank you to @Musser_APE the inspiration. Post a win from this week too on social media.

Talk with your students about their “movement superpowers.” You might ask: •What is something your body does really well? •How do you like to move? •What helps you participate in PE?

🦸 It’s Movement Superhero Day! As part of National Adapted Physical Education Week, we’re celebrating the movement superpowers of every student—rolling, running, balancing, throwing, using assistive technology, & cheering on a friend. Because everyone belongs in PE. #AdaptedPE

@BHunterinBmore @Musser_APE Love it Brad!! Thanks for sharing your awesome idea!!

I took today's prompt in a slightly different direction. Using it to shine a spotlight on my #AdaptedPE students this week. Here is a link to the doc if you'd like to use it. drive.google.com/file/d/17jXuJp… @AFallsPETeach @Musser_APE

@BHunterinBmore @MAPEC_Members @Musser_APE @Eileenstrong925 I forgot to take a picture earlier. I’m representing my favorite baseball team @Orioles and my work team AACPS HPED! We are truly better together!!

Representing #AdaptedPE week with this shirt from my home school. It represents the school, the city, our teams (Orioles, Ravens, Terps), and state. Team Spirit Day is about highlighting how we all belong together! @MAPEC_Members @Musser_APE @AFallsPETeach @Eileenstrong925

@Musser_APE Focus on ability, not the disability! Be flexible with equipment, your student needs and your lesson plan! Think outside the box! Build relationships with your students!! Ask questions and Collaborate, collaborate and collaborat some more!!

Happy National Adapted Physical Education Week! We would love to hear your advice for a first year adapted PE teacher! Dig deep and tell us what you wish you could have heard during that first year! #AdaptedPE #physed #physicaleducation

@NMcCoy_APE @PELearnPlay #teamwagon

@PELearnPlay Yes, exactly! I live out of these wagons haha

Set this arcade style hoop up for some of my Ss who use wheelchairs or walkers to provide more shot opportunities and more independence in that they didn’t need an adult or peer constantly retrieving/handing them a ball. Didn’t take much and pretty simple to do!🏀 #AdaptedPE

🌟 National Adapted Physical Education Week is NEXT WEEK! 🌟 Join us in celebrating inclusion & the strengths every student brings to PE! 💙 🟡 Mon: Wear Bright Colors 🧢 Tue: Hat Day 🤝 Wed: Team Spirit Day 🦸 Thu: Movement Superhero Day 🌈 Fri: Favorite Color #AdaptedPE

I saw this super cute idea @GTCromwellAACPS and I love it! What a great idea to provide a way for students & staff to share kind notes to teachers in the building! Promoting kindness & positive words can have a huge impact on a teachers day and the school culture. Great idea!!

My favorite part of social media is meeting and learning from amazing teachers! Thank you to all #AdaptedPE & #Physed teachers who pour their hearts into working with students with disabilities! Your passion & belief in every child changes lives everyday!#grateful @MAPEC_Members
