Program Description
This AA area of concentration provides the first two years of a teacher
preparation program for the elementary and secondary grade levels.
This curriculum prepares students to transfer to four year institutions with
a broad-based background in the study of human movement and education
theory and psychology. This curriculum is based upon introducing
students to the National Standards for Physical Education (NASPE) for
entry level physical education teachers. The program allows the students
to fulfill their general education requirements, participate in field work
experience, as well as complete a core of professional preparation work
that is appropriate for students in their first two years of the physical
education major. Courses will address pedagogy, psychology, motor skill
and movement abilities as well as health and fitness promotion.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of this program a student will be able to:
Identify historical, philosophical, and social perspectives of
physical education issues and legislation.
Analyze and correct elements of motor skills and performance
concepts.
Develop and implement appropriate (e.g. measureable,
developmentally appropriate, performance-based) goals and
objectives aligned with local, state, and/or national objectives.
Design and implement content and assessments that are aligned
with lesson objectives.
Demonstrate knowledge of current technology by planning and
implementing learning experiences that require students to
appropriately use technology to meet lesson objectives.
Implement effective demonstrations, explanations, and
instructional cues and prompts to link physical activity concepts
to appropriate learning experiences.
