Hello and happy holidays! For this episode of What’s New in APE, I was able to interview two of my undergraduate
students (John Nagel & Landon Kilmesh) who recently completed the introduction to APE course that I teach at the
University of Northern Iowa. This was also my first semester teaching the introduction to APE course at the University
of Northern Iowa, as well as it was the first semester that we had a service learning component on campus, where our
undergraduate physical education students were able to teach physical education to students with disabilities at the
university. During this episode we were all able to reflect on the introduction to APE course, discuss how this class
helped to prepare them to teach physical education to students with disabilities, and how working with students with
disabilities helps to change our perceptions on life and ourselves.
Stayed tuned to more What's New in APE podcasts, as we are scheduled to record a new episode with the LakeShore
Foundation in early January. Once again, I hope all of you have an extra wonderful holiday and we will see you in the
new year!
