2. Introduction Student Page [Teacher Page] Title This lesson will involve learning about the different ways sports can be adapted for students with special needs. Quality adapted physical education involves meeting the needs of each individual student with differentiated instruction based on the students abilities and interests. The differentiation may involve changing the rules, the environment, or the way the student is assessed. The ultimate goal is to have the students learn and to be successful while having fun at the same time. Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits
