Thomas Johnson Middle – Adapted Physical Education

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The adapted physical education program is based on the Maryland Physical Education Content Standards delivered through adapted physical education services as documented in an individual student’s IEP. The program components develop physically literate students in the acquisition of motor skills and movement patterns as well as the application of knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement and performance. Students will demonstrate their knowledge and skills in order to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness with the recognition of the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and/or social interaction. Students will be introduced to an array of components, themes, and activities which address each of the content standards aligned to the grade level general education curriculum; however, the student will require a different scope and sequence, adapted and modified, instruction, materials and equipment.
