Adapted Physical Education National Standards, Third Edition, thoroughly covers the latest Adapted Physical Education National Standards (APENS), offering current knowledge and best practices for teaching adapted physical education. This new edition solidifies the book’s reputation as an essential resource for adapted physical educators. Representing the first major revision to the standards since 2006, Adapted Physical Education National Standards, Third Edition, fully explains the 15 national standards as established by the National Consortium for Physical Education for Individuals with Disabilities (NCPEID). In addition to updating the national standards, this resource offers educators and professionals two other important updates: a new web study guide and a fresh design of the text. The study guide includes important information and more than 1,100 sample test questions for educators who are studying to take the Certified Adapted Physical Educator (CAPE) exam. This new tool allows candidates to prepare for the exam by taking practice quizzes based on the content within each standard. For each practice quiz, the reader is presented with questions randomly drawn from a pool of questions for that standard, ensuring a wide variety of sample exam possibilities. The candidate then receives a score and can review the correct and incorrect answers to determine areas for further study. Candidates can also view and download a comprehensive list of all questions for all standards. The new text design makes the content within each standard easier to read, providing a greater understanding of each level at a glance. Each of the 15 standards is presented in five levels. The level for a typical standard is organized this way: Level 1: the standard number and name Level 2: the major components of the standard Level 3: the standard’s subcomponents—dependent pieces of knowledge of fact or principle related to the major component Level 4: adapted physical education content—additional knowledge regarding the subcomponents that teachers working with individuals with disabilities need to know Level 5: application of adapted physical education content from level 4 to teaching individuals with disabilities Levels 1 through 3 outline the basic instructional competencies that physical educators who teach students in integrated or segregated environments must be able to demonstrate. Those levels provide the foundation for levels 4 and 5. The standards are logical extensions of SHAPE America’s 2017 National Standards for Initial Physical Education Teacher Education, SHAPE America’s 2008 Advanced Standards for Physical Education, and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards’ 2014 Physical Education Standards. Adapted Physical Education National Standards, Third Edition, is useful for a variety of stakeholders: Physical education majors and in-service teachers who are preparing for the APENS exam Higher education faculty members who want to evaluate their adapted physical education preparation programs K-12 administrators who want to use APENS exam results for reviewing and hiring new teachers Parents of children who require adapted physical education instruction, to inquire at their child’s IEP meeting about the qualifications of the physical educator for their child The book features an appendix of Frequently Asked Questions, a glossary of terms that includes abbreviations and acronyms in the field, and a summative list of references that were used by NCPEID committees in developing the APENS standards. It also includes an overview of NCPEID and a detailed description of how the standards and the certification exam were developed. Adapted Physical Education National Standards, Third Edition, will keep readers up to date on the standards, help them prepare for the CAPE exam, and help ensure that high-quality adapted physical education is available for all students who can benefit from it.

Focused on physical literacy and measurable outcomes, empowering physical educators to help students meet the Common Core standards, and coming from a recently renamed but longstanding organization intent on shaping a standard of excellence in physical education, National Standards & Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12 Physical Education is all that and much more. Created by SHAPE America — Society of Health and Physical Educators (formerly AAHPERD) — this text unveils the new National Standards for K-12 Physical Education. The standards and text have been retooled to support students’ holistic development. This is the third iteration of the National Standards for K-12 Physical Education, and this latest version features two prominent changes: •The term physical literacy underpins the standards. It encompasses the three domains of physical education (psychomotor, cognitive, and affective) and considers not only physical competence and knowledge but also attitudes, motivation, and the social and psychological skills needed for participation. • Grade-level outcomes support the national physical education standards. These measurable outcomes are organized by level (elementary, middle, and high school) and by standard. They provide a bridge between the new standards and K-12 physical education curriculum development and make it easy for teachers to assess and track student progress across grades, resulting in physically literate students. In developing the grade-level outcomes, the authors focus on motor skill competency, student engagement and intrinsic motivation, instructional climate, gender differences, lifetime activity approach, and physical activity. All outcomes are written to align with the standards and with the intent of fostering lifelong physical activity. National Standards & Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12 Physical Education presents the standards and outcomes in ways that will help preservice teachers and current practitioners plan curricula, units, lessons, and tasks. The text also • empowers physical educators to help students meet the Common Core standards; • allows teachers to see the new standards and the scope and sequence for outcomes for all grade levels at a glance in a colorful, easy-to-read format; and • provides administrators, parents, and policy makers with a framework for understanding what students should know and be able to do as a result of their physical education instruction. The result is a text that teachers can confidently use in creating and enhancing high-quality programs that prepare students to be physically literate and active their whole lives.

National Physical Education Standards, Fourth Edition, is the go-to book for all physical education teachers, providing the framework for creating curricula, designing lesson plans, and developing assessments. Created by SHAPE America – Society of Health and Physical Educators, the leading advocate for health and physical education, this text unveils the revised standards and new Grade-Span Learning Indicators, offers practical guidelines for implementation and assessment, and advances the idea that physical education means equity, access, and inclusion for all. The text has been designed so teachers can easily build relevant and developmentally appropriate learning experiences that engage all preK-12 learners. Incorporating the standards, the text creates a framework for physical educators to focus on the well-being of the whole person and their physical literacy journey. This latest edition features the revised standards, which reflect the following key shifts: Grade-Span Learning Indicators that replace grade-level outcomes Learning Progressions that offer sample sequential tasks to address a range of skill abilities The research in motor development that provided the foundation for restructuring the National PE Standards and creating Grade-Span Learning Indicators Expansion of the term physical literacy to reflect the developmental journey students experience through their time as physical education students Incorporating themes related to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion National Physical Education Standards, Fourth Edition, begins by documenting the revisions process, including the research evidence that led to restructuring the previous standards. It clarifies the framework of the National PE Standards and the essential content of preK-12 physical education for key stakeholders (students, teachers, parents, curriculum directors, administrators, boards of education, and policy makers). The text concludes by providing physical educators with resources to assist in using the standards to guide instruction and assessment practices. Administrators and teachers can confidently use National Physical Education Standards, Fourth Edition, to create high-quality physical education programs that prepare students for a lifetime of healthful and meaningful physical activity.

This handbook represents the first comprehensive and evidence-based review of theory, research, and practice in the field of adapted physical education (APE). Exploring philosophical and foundational aspects of APE, the book outlines the main conceptual frameworks informing research and teaching in this area, and presents important material that will help shape best practice and future research. Written by world-leading researchers, the book introduces the key themes in APE, such as historical perspectives on disability, disability and the law, language, and measurement. It examines the most significant theoretical frameworks for understanding APE, from embodiment and social cognitive theory to occupational socialization, and surveys current debates and practical issues in APE, such as teacher training, the use of technology, and physical inactivity and health. Acknowledging the importance of the voices of children, parents and peers, the book also explores research methods and paradigms in APE, with each chapter including directions for further research. Offering an unprecedented wealth of material, the Routledge Handbook of Adapted Physical Education is an essential reference for advanced students, researchers and scholars working in APE, and useful reading for anybody with an interest in disability, physical education, sports coaching, movement science or youth sport.

This comprehensive textbook examines adapted physical activity from across the disciplinary spectrum. From the history of adapted physical education to current practices in rehabilitative medicine, from working with children with emotional disabilities to developing care plans for adults with movement limitations, this collection surveys issues and helps practitioners plan sensible, well-grounded programs.
