Four issues gave rise to the creation of Developing Effective IEPs in Physical Education Online Course:
  • All too often, IEPs (individualized education programs) do not specifically address physical education.
  • Adapted physical education often is not included in the IEP process.
  • Many physical educators are not prepared to contribute to the development of an effective IEP.
  • Many physical educators fail to understand the legal ramifications of IEPs.
The result? Many students are being deprived of the top-quality physical education experience that they deserve.

Now, adapted physical educators, general physical educators, special education teachers, and others can use this highly practical course to create IEPs that are appropriate and effective for their students.

Developing Effective IEPs in Physical Education Online Course walks readers through a wealth of information in a concise, easy-to-understand way that facilitates effective collaboration on and implementation of individualized education programs. Accompanying video clips and practical examples enhance the learning. The course provides critical information and guidance on these topics:
  • Special education laws
  • Civil rights laws as they apply to students with disabilities
  • IEP goals for the physical education of children whose disabilities affect their learning in the subject
The course also covers how to do the following:
  • Assess children who need IEPs
  • Determine student placement for physical education
  • Enhance parental understanding of adapted physical education in the IEP process
  • Understand the roles of administrators and physical educators in IEPs
  • Ensure that the guarantees provided by the American with Disabilities Act are followed for children with disabilities in physical education
  • Develop an IEP for adapted physical education, including writing a proper narrative and creating appropriate goals
Developing Effective IEPs in Physical Education Online Course, which is organized into five modules, will help physical education teachers be effectively involved in their students’ IEPs. Administrators can use the course as an excellent tool for providing professional development for their staff. Teachers can take the course individually on their own schedule, or a district administrator might want to have the district’s teachers take the course as a group and learn and discuss the material together.

Teachers can take an exam at the end of the course, leading to a certificate of completion, which can be presented to an administrator to gain professional development credit. The course represents three contact hours.

Excellent online class

provides laws that I didn't know that protected physical education. great videos within the course to show the effectiveness of A.P.E within the classroom. I learned a lot about Physical Education laws and the necessary steps one needs to go through so that their child is able to be a part of A.P.E. The course taught me new things and also refreshed my mind to what I already knew about Physical Education.

Great Resource

"Developing Effective IEPs in Physical Education" is a great resource for both in-service teachers as well as pre-service professionals. Should be required for all physical education majors before degree. Very useful for virtual learning. All current teachers can benefit from the detailed IEP structure this course provides.
