Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Post-Baccalaureate Certificate)

  • Adapted PE program implementation — autonomously design, deliver, and evaluate comprehensive adapted physical education programs across the full disability spectrum served by a district's special education division.
  • Complex student assessment — conduct multidimensional physical and motor assessments for students with severe or multiple disabilities and translate findings into individualized, measurable IEP goals.
  • Non-routine instructional problem-solving — apply critical thinking and inductive reasoning to develop novel instructional modifications when standard adapted PE techniques are insufficient for an atypical student profile.
  • Perceptual and gross motor curricula — construct developmentally sequenced curricula targeting sport achievement, fitness, and motor skill domains for heterogeneous groups with orthopedic or neurological impairments.
  • Student-centered feedback systems — design and implement structured positive reinforcement frameworks that sustain motivation and self-efficacy across long-term adapted PE service delivery.
  • IEP contribution and advocacy — lead the adapted PE component of IEP development meetings, providing expert written and oral input grounded in assessment data and therapeutic knowledge.
  • Behavioral environment management — establish and sustain proactive, student-responsive behavioral frameworks that ensure physical safety and maximize instructional time for high-need populations.
  • Program data systems — develop and maintain comprehensive student-record databases and progress-monitoring tools that support compliance with federal and state special education mandates.
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration — serve as the authoritative adapted PE resource for school psychologists, occupational therapists, and physicians in coordinating holistic student support plans.
  • Professional literature application — critically evaluate emerging research in adapted physical education and systematically integrate validated practices into ongoing instructional refinement.
