Podcast 18 Live Assessment Panel Part 1

I am extremely excited to be sharing with you all my second live podcast series from the 45th National Adapted Physical Education Conference in California. This podcast discussion focused on assessment within APE. In this panel we had another all star panel filled with a variety of APE/assessment experts. Our panel included Dr. Lisa Silliman-French, an APE Professor at Texas Woman’s University and a former APE teacher and special education coordinator for 17 years; Dr. Barry Lavay, a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at California State University and author of the co-authored textbook Positive Behavior Management in Physical Activity Settings; Kathryn Russell a Special Education Administrator for Los Angeles County Office of Education and a former APE specialist; and Marci Pope a Co-Director for the Northern California Adapted Physical Education Consortium and a lecturer at California State University. The podcast will be broken up into 3 separate episodes which each focus on a portion of assessment, with the lst having audience participation. This podcast discusses why we need to assess, what areas we need to assess, and the question of eligibility with APE.
