Description
Summary:The purpose of this article is to introduce PACER as an alternative to the traditional, whole-group methods of teaching physical education and to provide examples of how it can be implemented in a basketball unit and then modified to fit the needs of individuals with visual impairments within that basketball unit. Using PACER is an excellent way for teachers to successfully include all learners by creating a positive environment in which students gain confidence in themselves through task cards and peer assessment, confidence in their class through the formation of teams, and confidence in their teacher through the teacher workshop, teacher assessments, and team rewards.
