I often get asked why I always have a stuffed animal in my #AdaptedPE bucket, right now a white seal named "Sealy".
Sealy can help with:
1. Emotional support, ex. "Sealy will do it with you"
2. An engaging object to catch/throw
3. A 3rd voice during check-ins or player in tag

In my lessons why I refer to my schedule for a student/class as "my/our journey".
I feel a schedule is something you must adhere to, such as dismissal must take place at 3:00pm
A journey is something you go on together and adjust as needed throughout to reach an outcome.

#AdaptedPE student’s automatic chair wasn’t working & his aide was pushing him around for evasion activities, making him a passive participant.
I made a quick paper remote control so the 👨🎓 can tell the aide where to push him.
👨🎓 and aide both agreed it was a big improvement

#AdaptedPE 👩🎓 working on balancing on different bases and she kept trying to d down dog upside down?!?!
I was perplexed!
Then I saw that this👩🎓, who cannot yet read, was picking the card up each time, holding it upside down, and covering the words!
Perspective is Everything!

An #AdaptedPE 👨🎓 wanted an increased 🤚 dribbling challenge so we worked on dribbling, securing the 🏀 , and then moving his 🦽 forward.
He advanced through levels of challenge until he was traveling through a course trying to improve his performance. From 45 to 31 sec. so proud!

#AdaptedPE 👨🎓 was using his manual chair w/ consistent light turns of the wheels.
Increasing the need for speed w/ timed work intervals & verbal prompting were not having an impact.
Bring on the blue tape to mark where to reach for each push & the results were almost instant!

I’ve been supporting a High School #physed team for 7 yrs & hadn’t ever seen a visual posted, not even 1 I provided!
Today, I saw this poster a 1st year teacher made after 1 consultative service with me.
Moments like this really fill my bucket.

Spent the last two days with my car in the shop! Relieved to get my gear back! I can do a lot with an #AdaptedPE Bucket but not everything.
Lookout Wednesday, I’m rolling in reloaded!

Following up on earlier work for an #AdaptedPE 👩🎓 by making a more permanent "praise board" on card stock.
After the team rotated out the 👩🎓 went over to each teammate to offer a fist bump & a word of praise.
By the end of the class her peers were giving praise independently!

Appreciate @MrJustinLund and @marniosenbaum
for the #AdaptedPE equipment ideas he has shared. Justin has a whole Amazon list pinned on his page. I finally picked up a couple of them:
1.EazyHold
2. Gear Ties
3. Slap bracelets (help students identify L/R)

I’ve been using the same #AdaptedPE expectations (yellow sheet) w/ a now 4th grade 👨🎓 since K. Today in his class I saw this sticky note of expectations he and his aide had developed.

@willwestphalpe.bsky.social gave me the needed push to create a new debrief strategy for MG & HS 👨🎓 I support in #AdaptedPE
I'd been looking for an age appropriate tactic for a while that was accessible & meaningful.

To better ground myself & support others I'm working on a hierarchy of challenge.

These first weeks when working w/ older #AdaptedPE students I try to create greater buy-in by asking what goals they want to work towards.
It can take some time but it's worth it when students later sees their voice matters when I incorporate these into lessons.
