NCPEID January Collaborative: APENS + The Certified APE Teacher

 Listen in on the January NCPEID APE Collaborative where Dr. Tim Davis (SUNY Cortland) and Brad Weiner (Fairfax County Schools) discuss what the Adapted Physical Education National Standards (APENS) are, why they were initially developed, and how to become a Nationally Certified APE Teacher. More information about the APENS can be found here. 

NCPEID is the National Consortium for Physical Education for Individuals with Disabilities. They play a major role in shaping the direction of adapted physical education and adapted physical activity, as well building and promoting APE & APA programs and services. https://www.ncpeid.org/ 

In addition, we introduce a new APE podcast out there called "The Talking Adapted PE Podcast" which is operated by Chris Ahrens (APE Teachers from San Diego County) where he talks with other APE teachers about their day-to-day lives and best practices.
