This article reports data drawn from a survey of students’ views about their future teacher role. The students were recruited from adapted physical education specialization provided by the University School of Physical Education. The data are used to construct four types of role of adapted physical education teachers. The typology of role which has implications for the range and type of professional development opportunities which might be made available to teachers. The findings show that the majority of students found a holistic type as the most appropriate and they chose the type of teaching which took them closer to the person. As part of the study the authors have independently developed the Model of Roles of APE Teachers (APEROLE) over seven years of teaching practice.
