BPS Home Page Kindergartens Brookfield Kindergarten Kindergartens Facts Philosophy School Highlights ... Phone Numbers Dear Parents, Welcome to the Brookfield Kindergarten. Our Early Childhood Center is an atmosphere that is stimulating, creative, and comfortable. Young children learn basic skills through inquiry, discovery, and direct instruction. Play is the child's way of working and learning. The staff shares a common spirit of providing opportunities for learning in a safe and caring environment and continually tries to incorporate new ideas into the curriculum. This is evident through the use of Balanced Literacy and Standards-Based Math. Our Early Childhood Program recognizes the importance of parent involvement as an ingredient for the success of our kindergarten. The Parent Advisory Council is very active and provides the children with educational and cultural events throughout the year. We encourage all parents to participate in the P.A.C. which meets regularly once a month. You and your child will benefit greatly from your involvement here at the Brookfield Kindergarten. Together, our efforts will help bridge your child's transition from home to school and thus enhance their successful learning experience.

The How-To's of Adaptive Physical Education From the March 2001 Education newsletter. Research indicates that, many times, students with disabilities are not included in P.E. activities in favor of assigning them to study hall or scorekeeping duty. Martin Block, an associate professor of kinesiology at the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education, emphasizes that students with disabilities can and should be included in general physical education. An inclusive physical education class does provide many challenges to instructors. Among these challenges are the large range of student abilities and the lack of adaptive equipment and support. But Dr. Block emphasizes that teachers can overcome these challenges with creative lesson planning and collaboration with colleagues. "You need to get out of the mindset that one curriculum is appropriate for all kids. You need either multiple content areas or modifications," he says. When preparing to teach a student with a disability in an inclusive physical education class, Dr. Block recommends that general physical education teachers first seek advice and input from the special education teacher working with the child. He advises P.E. teachers to be aware of the child's abilities, needs, and IEP goals. The next step, says Dr. Block, is to think of multiple ways to plan activities. Traditional games can be modified with different rules or equipment. Dr. Block provides volleyball as an example. A game could consist of fewer players, or a larger ball could be used to accommodate students with disabilities. A teacher could also have multiple games being played simultaneously in order to accommodate the varying skill levels of all the students.

Adapted PE Assessment Instruments Assessment is the first step in developing the Individual Education Program (IEP) for an individual with disabilities. It focuses on identifying activity needs of the individual, and is the interpretation of measurements obtained through testing. Assessment is also used to make decisions about placement and program planning. It forms the foundation for the instruction given to an individual with disabilities so he/she can safely and successfully participate in physical education class. The IDEA Amendments of 1997 stated that parents need to be involved in the assessment of their child and the development of their child's IEP. Consequently, parental input and observations are vital to the assessment process. Some common assessment tests used in physical education are listed below. Another aspect of assessment is determining the physical education grade a student receives on his/her report card. IDEA 97 added the requirement that children with disabilities be included in all assessments. This means that if your regular curriculum calls for physical fitness, motor, or content knowledge assessments you MUST give that assessment to your students with disabilities or be prepared to provide alternative assessments. The new amendment also requires that students with disabiliites be given grades and progress reports on the same schedule as regular education students. This means that if parents of children without disabilities get report cards every nine weeks, parents of students with disabilities must also receive a report card every nine weeks.

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.

NYSUT.org New York Teacher Archive February 27, 2002 Adapted phys ed means joy in motion; BOCES educators tailor activity to the child When Roy Speedling talks about leveling the playing field for kids with disabilities, he's not necessarily speaking metaphorically. To make physical activity available to kids with varying degrees of physical, mental and emotional disabilities, Speedling would not only level the field - he'd raise it, lower it, shrink it, stretch it or strip it of obstacles like goals and bases. Whatever it takes. "We focus not on what they can't do, but what they can do," says Speedling, a member of Ulster BOCES Teachers Organization who has spent nearly a quarter-century criss-crossing the roads of Ulster County, bringing a special brand of physical education to special kids. The philosophy of adapted (sometimes called "adaptive") physical education is simple. With the right supports, any kid can take part in - and benefit from - regular physical activity. That could be anything from situps to bowling, swimming, cross-country skiing and even horseback riding. "Think about it," Speedling says, "For a kid who spends all day in a wheelchair, a horse is just a different mode of getting around. And there's nothing like that smile you see when you get them up on a horse for the first time in their life."

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. top 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. top WHAT IS THE MDT?
