2016 Early Childhood Adapted Physical Education (Grades: PreK, K-2)

This is a completed event.

Description:

The Early Childhood Adapted Physical Education Academy is designed for educators (APE, PE, PT and ECE) interested in exploring developmentally appropriate motor skill and movement based curriculum and instruction strategies for the early learner. Teachers will learn techniques and strategies to promote child development in the kinesthetic realm, including social and emotional development; will explore observation, documentation and differentiation for the early learner; will examine motor development patterns of the early learner; and will attain creative integrated movement activities for the early learner. This high-quality staff development provides opportunities for sharing effective teaching and learning practices that improve the health and educational performance of all children. The ECAPE CTA will partner with the K-12 APE CTA for a variety of sessions during the week.
