The Roadmap to Adapted Physical Education is a new FREE interactive course on the SHAPE America Online Institute that will guide you through the core components of adapted physical education services and how to apply these components to your program. The self-paced course allows participants to reflect on their own physical education program through critical thinking tasks and engagement activities. As the final project, participants will have the opportunity to answer questions that will allow them to personalize their own roadmap for adapted physical education services specific to their state and district.

Do you currently rely on a “day-to-day” lesson strategy in your health education classroom? Would you like to ensure that your teaching is up to date and advancing student learning? Are you looking for a health curriculum that’s tailored to the unique needs of your students? If the answer to all of the above is “yes,” then this series of five individual courses is for you! Course one begins with a deep dive into the National Health Education Standards. Subsequent courses then guide you through a logical progression, including:

• Using backward design in curriculum mapping, as well as unit and lesson plan development;
• Incorporating authentic, performance-based assessment;
• Developing successful implementation plans and strategies;
• and more!

This FREE interactive 3-hour course will guide you through an overview of each of the Essential Components of Physical Education. This self-paced course will show how the Essential Components of Physical Education play a key role within the context of a well-rounded education, identify the critical policies and practices that make up the essential components, and allow participants to reflect on their own physical education program through critical thinking tasks and engagement activities.
