Undergraduate Adapted PE Adapted PE Teacher Certification Track Today in the United States, it is estimated that 95 percent of school-aged students are being provided physical education instruction in some type of general physical education environment. These students include persons with disabilities. There is a clear need to prepare general physical educators to provide the appropriate services to all students. Texas Woman’s University is the only University in the state of Texas that prepares physical education majors with these specialized competencies to take the Adapted Physical Education National Exam. This certification allows physical educators the right to call themselves Certified Adapted Physical Educators (CAPE). In addition, these students graduate with a second teaching field in special education. Most of the graduates of this program will teach and/or coach in the public schools. The average starting salary, depending on the school district is estimated between $28,000 to $30,000 for a 10–month period. During the summer many physical educators work at summer sports camps, teach summer school, or take graduate courses. This program provides a unique opportunity for physical educators to make themselves more employable and more capable to meet the needs of all children.

He was doing well in all his subjects but a new teacher this year believing spelling a necessary life skill was insisting he perform as the other students. Jim's embarrassment over the weekly posting of spelling grades was jeopardizing his successes. All The Eggs In One Basket School was hard for Scott due to his learning disability, but he tried his best in the past because he wanted to play football. This year, incentives lost, and failing grades, the only option to graduate if he failed the HSCT was with a special diploma. One course and one teacher with a strict reputation stood in his way. Bootcamp Estella is a first year teacher of students with learning disabilities at an inner-city elementary school. Being a white female in a predominately African American school, the principal openly acknowledges that he was forced to hire her but would have preferred to hire an African American male teacher. Unfortunately, none had applied. Feeling unwanted and unsupported by the administration, she struggled to deal with a difficult and aggressive student and his mother. Difference of Opinion Jane is an adaptive physical education teacher in a middle school. One of her former students fails his regular PE class and his parents and doctor request that he be returned to her class. When the department head of special education blocks his return due to a technicality, Jane comes to his defense

What is Special Education? WHAT IS SPECIAL EDUCATION? Special Education includes specially designed instruction and related services provided to students with disabilities, ages three to 21. These services are provided in an environment as near to an average classroom as possible. WHO IS ELIGIBLE? Students qualify for special education services if they are determined to have a disability and are in need of a specially designed instructional program to succeed in school. A student's disability may be in one or more areas: academic, physical, mental, emotional, information processing, or speech/language. HOW DOES A STUDENT QUALIFY FOR SERVICES? Anyone who is concerned about a student's progress in school may start the process. Teachers typically consult with each other and try different interventions to help a struggling student. The Teacher Assistance Team keeps a record of the applied interventions, duration of the intervention, and the results. When the team determines that further attempts at interventions would be repetitious or impractical in nature, it makes a referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) by contacting the principal or chairperson.
