The document describes a program called Meet in the Middle at Cedar Valley Middle School that pairs general education 8th grade students with students in the Functional Academic Classroom (FAC). There are two groups: Peer Mentors who work in the classroom and Partners in PE who assist in adapted physical education classes. The Partners in PE help students with their physical education IEP goals and assist the teacher, while also aiming to develop friendships. They are graded based on participation, attitude, journal assignments, a midterm research project, and a final class evaluation. The program aims to support students' academic and physical goals while also facilitating lifelong friendships.
