An individualized education program (IEP) is a legally binding document that maps out a student’s educational program, including any specially designed instruction and supports that are needed. This article from the May/June issue of Strategies will guide physical education teachers in the IEP writing process.

Schools play an important role in promoting physical activity, since they provide daily opportunities for students from diverse socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds. This study examined how U.S. elementary schools implement the Whole-of-School (WOS) approach to promoting physical activity and analyzed how school-level characteristics influenced the physical activity opportunities for students.

Edutopia

The true value of education technology doesn’t lie in its sophistication or its complexity; it’s the impact on learning that matters. That was crystal clear a few months ago, when we asked our community to share the truly brilliant ways they’ve seen technology integrated into classrooms this year. But what stood out as we selected the most intriguing use cases were both high-tech and low- tech applications that addressed real classroom needs.

 

K-12 Dive

Students with and without disabilities from Washington, D.C.’s Barnard Elementary School gained skills in acceptance, inclusion and teamwork. Will Crick, a physical education teacher at Barnard, incorporated bocce game skills into the school’s PE curriculum this year so the team players could hone their skills, and so even students who weren’t on the bocce team could learn the game.

 

PsyPost

A new pilot study suggests that play-based, whole-body movement activities may help children with autism spectrum disorder improve their self-control and reduce certain negative behaviors. The findings, published in the journal Disability and Rehabilitation, show that a movement-focused intervention led to faster responses on a test of inhibitory control and fewer sensory and disruptive behaviors.
