Adapted Physical Education
What is the Adapted Physical Education Added Authorization?
The Adapted Physical Education Authorization is an authorization that you can add on to a Multiple Subject, Single Subject, or Education Specialist credential. It permits candidates to teach physical education to students with disabilities authorized by your credential.
Courses are designed to ensure that candidates have opportunities to develop a broad education and philosophical background on which to base their APE program decisions. The authorization may be added to an existing credential or earned concurrently with a credential.
The Adapted Physical Education Added Authorization is not a standalone credential, it must be added onto an existing Multiple Subject, Single Subject, or Education Specialist credential. Classes for the added authorization can be taken concurrently with credential classes.
