We love soccer and soccer golf! We use large inflated soccer balls, leafblower and switches (using our foot to press the button for *gentle* kickers lol) and ramps (baskets help hold a larger ball)- even the ramp on the playground! ⚽️⚽️⚽️ #fcpsPE #adaptedPE

Lets get to know Brad Hunter! What is the most essential piece of equipment that you can't live without? Dry Erase Markers, I use them everyday with students when writing goals, tracking progress, making impromptu visuals, updating the schedule, making temporary targets etc...

What type of assessment do you have a lot of success with your students? "Star Chart Trackers! Students work towards earning stars and get to physically place the star on the posted sheet after each successful effort so they can see the progress they are making"

What is your favorite PE/APE/UPE activity to teach and why? "Striking over a net with an implement, it is a joyful activity and every student can access the skill with accommodations to the implement, object being struck, net, boundaries, and/or rules"

What is your PE, APE, or UPE Superpower? Making student feel comfortable in whatever space we are in and whatever task we are working on. Bottom line, I want them to know that it is ok if the work is hard - that is how we grow - and I will be there to help if they need assistance
