Physical Education Teacher Education Concentration (40 Hours)
PURPOSE
This program leads to a multi-age (pre-K through 12 th grade) license to teach Physical Education in the State of Ohio. The program is designed to prepare teacher candidates with competencies that meet the Beginning Teacher Standards of the National Association for Physical Education and Sport. The program includes field experience components at the elementary and secondary levels, and culminates with a full semester student teaching experience split between the two levels.
REQUISITE COURSEWORK
Undergraduate degree preparation may be in any field, with applicants not required to have an undergraduate degree in Physical Education. Regardless of the undergraduate degree achieved, candidates must satisfy pre-requisites for admission to the program. The admission requirements outlined below are additional to the requirements for admission into the Master of Arts degree (i.e. candidates must have an undergraduate degree with a Grade Point Average of at least 2.75, appropriate letters of reference, and a well articulated career goal statement). Over and above these general requirements, admission to the PETE concentration of the MA degree is a two part process (outlined below) that might take time to complete if additional undergraduate coursework is required.
- Candidates provide a full resume and transcripts and meet with faculty for an interview
- It is essential that candidates enter the program with some background and knowledge in the following areas:
- Physical Education Content
- Growth and Development
- Technology
Therefore, candidates are required to complete the following undergraduate courses (or equivalents), either at KSU or another institution, with an overall GPA of 3.0. These courses constitute a total of 27-29 undergraduate credit hours.
