Teach children the power of activity!

Teaching children physical education fulfills a unique role in their overall development.

You'll learn from professors such as Kathy Haas, who says, "Our vision is to communicate the importance of balancing a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise, physical activity, or just play - a challenge in today's society!"

In addition to the Teacher EducationCandidate Proficiencies, physical education candidates demonstrate their ability to develop and plan physical education curriculum (K-12) that includes developmentally appropriate instructional strategies targeting state and national standards.
