Unity Day! Posting pics w some of my favs 🧡 Bringing attention to the importance of bullying awareness, standing up for others, and being a good human! #ExperienceInclusion #UnifiedMD @SpOlympicsMD

Today an SEIA was supporting a student in PE for Football skill practice. She made sure to promote #independence for the student by simply holding the ball just off the floor so the student could pick the ball up just like her peers! #AdaptedPE #PhysEd #APE #Football #throw

Using #visuals for Adapted PE sessions is a great way to engage students! We are going to work on color coding units/skills to help with organization! #AdaptedPE #APE @MAPEC_Members

Emily & Liz starting year 23 with an awesome group of APE Itinerants! Welcome to the team Dani! We can’t wait to see the awesome ideas and experiences from everyone this school year! #fcpsmd #AdaptedPE #APEService #APE

We’re excited to kick off a new school year with Adapted PE! 🏃‍♀️🏀⚽️ We’re looking forward to supporting our students and PE teachers, welcoming new students and staff, and continuing to create meaningful opportunities for ALL students to participate, communicate, and succeed in Physical Education. This year, we’re updating our communication supports in the gym, too! Simple, low-tech tools like “I Need” and “I Want” communication boards and ASL supports can help give students and teachers more ways to connect and communicate during PE. Here’s to another great year of movement, inclusion, and learning! 💙💛 #AdaptedPE #InclusivePE #PhysicalEducation #Inclusion #FCPSAdaptedPE @fcps_cangemi @FCPSMaryland @RegaliaFCPS @K_Turner_FCPS @FCPS_JBingman

Headed to @LCPSHPE for a day of professional development. Looking forward to sharing strategies and mindset about Inclusion in PE and Adaptive PE Equipment. Don’t forget- Different Students, Different Strengths, One PE Class. @UVACAPE1 @FCPSMaryland @fcps_cangemi @RegaliaFCPS @FCPS_JBingman @K_Turner_FCPS @FCPSCurriculum @KathyGullCII @Lead2Support

We had a great time meeting the three newest members of the FCPS Phys. Ed Department! Today was about sharing the collaboration between PE and Special Education, learning how our APE team works together to support students and teachers across the county, and thinking creatively. Who knew a simple newspaper could become adaptive equipment? 📰 From balance and coordination to skill practice and teamwork, one inexpensive item turned into countless opportunities to address PE and cross-curricular objectives as well as Adapted PE goals and services. We’re excited to welcome these educators to our county and can’t wait for an incredible school year!@FCPSMaryland @KathyGullCII @FCPS_JBingman @K_Turner_FCPS @RegaliaFCPS @fcps_cangemi @MAPEC_Members @shapemaryland #AdaptedPE #InclusiveEducation

Love visiting teachers who make sure they include ALL students with their peers! TRES PE teachers are amazing at this and so creative! #adaptedpe #inclusion #APE #APEChatter

Hey APE folks, Look at this amazing tool for easy #datacollection during service! A 🏈 wristband with a dry erase marker makes it quick and easy to record data during #APE service! Shout out to @FCPSMaryland APE Itinerant, Beth Cangemi for trying this out & sharing! #APEChatter #Data #APEService

Tomorrow is the last day of #InclusiveSchoolsWeek! Celebrate #TeamDay by wearing your team, your school or your favorite club colors! FCPS has over 47,000 students and 6,700 staff.

Day 3 of #InclusiveSchoolsWeek25 is our favorite! Build a Stronger Tomorrow by dressing just like a PE or APE Teacher who help students build strong bodies. As we work on building strong bodies during PE class, how can we come together to build strong schools & communities who value Inclusion & Belonging? #StrongerTomorrowFCPS #ChildrenFirst  #FCPSWeBelong  #InclusiveSchools #InclusiveSchoolsWeek #ISW25 #FCPSWeBelong @FCPS_JBingman @TroyDKeller @K_Turner_FCPS @ShannonPisculli @RegaliaFCPS @FCPSCurriculum @KathyGullCII @BGHEPE @Lead2Support @FCPSAchievement @KHarris_FCPS

It’s #Kaleidoscope Day- day 2 of #InclusiveSchoolsWeek25. Show your colors, show your support of all individuals and all abilities.  Every child is different. Many process information differently, speak different languages, eat different foods, celebrate different holidays. What does it look like to respect those differences? #ISW25 #FCPSWeBelong @FCPS_JBingman @TroyDKeller @K_Turner_FCPS @ShannonPisculli @RegaliaFCPS @FCPSCurriculum @KathyGullCII @BGHEPE @Lead2Support @FCPSAchievement @KHarris_FCPS

Today kicked off #InclusiveSchoolsWeek25 with #HatDay! What does inclusion look like to you?  How is it different in each classroom and at different levels? The APE team took part & had a great time traveling around the county seeing so many students & staff take part. #FCPSWeBelong #ISW25

Get your hats out & ready for #InclusiveSchoolsWeek25. On Monday we kick off the first day- Hat Day- to show our support & commitment to #Inclusion. We are all individuals, but we are all FCPS and are proud of each and every student and staff! Keep being you. #ISW25 #FCPSWeBelong @FCPS_JBingman @TroyDKeller @K_Turner_FCPS @ShannonPisculli @RegaliaFCPS @FCPSCurriculum @KathyGullCII @BGHEPE @Lead2Support @FCPSAchievement @KHarris_FCPS
