Physical Education Opportunities for Exceptional Learners (PEOPEL) is a second year Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title III project within the Phoenix Union High School System. This program is designed to meet the need for a program at the secondary school level that addresses itself to meeting physical, social, emotional and mental needs of physically and mentally handicapped and other exceptional students. In 1975-76 the PEOPEL staff pilot-tested and revised curriculum materials and teaching strategies which were developed in 1974-75. A comparison of 54 PEOPEL students with 36 other handicapped students not participating in PEOPEL provided evidence that the PEOPEL program had a positive effect on students' physical abilities and attitudes. Based on findings of the evaluation, recommendations were made to adopt the PEOPEL program as a regular program in the Phoenix Union High School System and to periodically re-evaluate the impact that the PEOPEL program has on students' physical and mental education.
