What kind of experience with children is necessary to apply to the Physical Education Teacher Education program?
A. The Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences is looking for evidence that you have a commitment to the profession of teaching. This evidence can be in the form of paid or volunteer experiences in your local community (child care, youth coaching), in a school (cadet teaching, assistant coaching), or in another setting with school-age children (camp). Additionally, the Education Department provides every student applying for admission with at least 10 hours of experience in a public school classroom during his/her EDUC 111 Introduction to Teaching course.
