  <h2>Celebrating Adapted PE Teacher Paul K.</h2>

  <div>
    At Cross Country Education, we have the best of the best from across the
    nation, improving kids&#39; lives every day! This week, we are celebrating
    adapted physical education specialist Paul K.! Paul shares why he decided to
    become an adapted PE teacher, what he loves most about working with the
    Cross Country Education team and schools, and what he would tell adapted PE
    specialists (also called APE teachers) just embarking on their careers.
  </div>

  <h3>Why did you become an adapted PE specialist?&nbsp;</h3>

  <div>
    I love being physically active, and I want all students, regardless of their
    abilities, to enjoy physical activity.&nbsp;
  </div>

  <h3>
    What do you like about working as an adapted PE teacher with Cross Country
    Education?&nbsp;
  </h3>

  <div>
    One thing that I like about CCE is that we have a great group of APE
    teachers, and that I get inspired to try new activities and lessons. We also
    have a great support staff that is always there to provide support when I
    need it.&nbsp;
  </div>

  <h3>
    What have you liked about your experience working as an adapted PE teacher
    at CCE schools?&nbsp;
  </h3>

  <div>
    It was awesome to be able to build relationships with the staff at CCE
    schools, and they were very welcoming and helpful in the transition process.
    They were also very encouraging and communicative throughout the school
    year.
  </div>

  <h3>
    What kind of advice would you give to someone starting out as an adapted PE
    teacher?&nbsp;
  </h3>

  <div>
    One bit of advice I would give someone that is starting out in the APE field
    is to not be afraid to ask! Whether it be your colleagues, classroom
    teachers, administrators, students, or parents, don&rsquo;t be afraid to ask
    questions if you don&rsquo;t know something, and most of the time, they will
    be more than happy to teach you!
