As a new school year begins, there’s a lot to focus on: new routines, new goals, new skills and new opportunities for growth.

Start the year with wellbeing.

Greetings Adapted PE Teachers and NCPEID Members,

My name is Dr. Sean Fullerton and I am an Assistant Professor at Towson University currently teaching in the Health and Physical Education program. I am researching the ways Adapted PE teachers use technology in their teaching and attitudes about technology use.

I subscribe to the "ELEMENTS" described by Pro-Activity of Move, Fuel, Recover,…
