Free Adapted Physical Education Workshops

Join us for a two-day professional development workshop designed to empower in-service and student-teaching PE teachers with practical strategies and tools for inclusive physical education.

💰 Cost: FREE | 🍎 Refreshments provided | 📄 Professional Development Certificate available

York College is proud to host a two-day professional development workshop series designed to empower in-service and student-teaching physical education (PE) teachers with the skills and knowledge to better serve students with disabilities in inclusive PE settings.

Led by five nationally recognized experts in the field of Adapted Physical Education, this free training opportunity covers:

APE advocacy and certification
IDEA’s 13 disability categories
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) & differentiated instruction
Behavior management strategies
Equipment adaptation & disability sports
Assessment and instructional planning

Participants will receive a certificate of completion for professional development hours, engage in hands-on activities, and connect with a growing network of inclusive educators across New York City.

These workshops are part of a research study funded by York College’s Faculty Strategic Initiative Grant.
All registered participants will be asked to complete a short pre-workshop and post-workshop survey. A small number of attendees may also be invited to a follow-up interview.

By registering, you agree to participate in this research component.
If you prefer not to be included in the study, please do not register for this workshop.
There is no penalty for choosing not to participate, and similar workshops may be offered in non-research formats in the future.

🍎 Refreshments will be provided. Registration is free, but limited to 50 participants.
