  13. K-12 Records • Physical education departmentscommunication • Tracking testing every year • Pre & Post Tests • Progression

  14. For the p.e. teacher… • Having a distinct area where you keep files for adapted PE students is essential • I use an entire drawer in my desk to file all of the information I gather on students with IDP’s • Each student has their own labeled file • Each file contains their IEP, Fitnessgram test resutls, notes from the special education department, parents, and former PE teachers. • When teachers come through the public education system, it is so important that the entire department communicates ability levels and pass along records. • My department actually passes on all Fitnessgram testing from year to year to track progression over the years. We have found that keeping track of the records motivates students to improve and push themselves to do better than the year before.
