Learning Through Movement!

Ms. Drew’s Adaptive PE class was a wonderful example of how intentional instruction, purposeful practice, and positive encouragement can help every student grow!

This engaging lesson focused on the fundamentals of throwing, with students practicing overhand and underhand throws, proper stance and foot placement, and techniques to improve distance, aim, and accuracy. From the very beginning, students were actively learning, practicing, and building confidence.

Ms. Drew thoughtfully structured the lesson so that every student knew what to expect and had the opportunity to experience success. After warming up together, she brought the class in as a group to clearly explain the lesson and expectations. She modeled each skill and demonstrated the activities at every station, giving students a clear picture of what they would be learning and doing. Students were then paired by name and confidently directed to their starting locations.

What really stood out was the intentional feedback Ms. Drew provided throughout the lesson. She continuously moved among the stations, taking the time to work individually with students and help them strengthen their stance, form, aim, and accuracy. Her feedback went beyond simply celebrating effort—she helped students understand how they could improve and encouraged them to keep trying.

The result was a lesson that was organized, purposeful, supportive, and filled with opportunities for growth. Students were actively engaged, developing new physical skills, and gaining confidence along the way.

Ms. Drew reminded us that great teaching is about meeting students where they are, helping them recognize what they can do, and giving them the tools and encouragement to take their next step.

That is learning in motion!
