Adapted physical education is a field that requires creativity, dedication, and a deep understanding of how to make physical activities accessible to all students. For educators seeking to enhance their adapted PE programs, Toolkit4PE is an invaluable resource. Created by Christy Sloane and Alex Forbes, two seasoned educators with a passion for inclusivity, this website has become a trusted tool for teachers across the country.
Toolkit4PE offers a wealth of resources tailored to the unique needs of adapted physical education. From detailed lesson plans and instructional videos to practical strategies for engaging students of all abilities, the website is designed to support educators in creating effective, inclusive PE programs. Whether you are new to adapted PE or a seasoned professional, Toolkit4PE provides the tools you need to inspire and motivate your students.
Having had the pleasure of working with both Christy and Alex in Fairfax County, Virginia, I can personally attest to their expertise and commitment to education. They are both exceptional educators who have dedicated their careers to making physical education accessible to everyone. Toolkit4PE is a testament to their dedication, offering practical solutions that reflect their years of experience and passion for adapted physical education.
By using Toolkit4PE, educators can expand their repertoire of teaching techniques and find new ways to ensure that every student has the opportunity to participate in physical education. Christy and Alex have created a resource that not only supports teachers but also enriches the learning experiences of countless students.
Thank you so much for all that you do for Adapted PE teachers and their students. I teach at a special school for students who are medically fragile and have profound disabilities. Therefore, my APE classes are all inclusive. Do you have any suggestions for teaching students with multiple impairments and very little mobility? I already have been following Mr. Jeff on Twitter/Instagram, and implement and adapt many of the activities to meet the needs of my students. I am wondering if there are any other resources available for my student population that I may not know about?
Thank you!
Yes! Jeff is a great person to follow! I am trying to turn Just Adapt It into a resource where you can get lesson plans, ideas etc. and I will share some links you might find useful. ToolKit4PE is another great one, and I would recommend PinkOatmeal on YouTube!
