Experiential Learning
Beginning in the first year and continuing throughout the program of study, students are engaged in teaching physical education at all levels within public and private PreK-12 schools and other educational settings. The sequence of field experience begins with working 1:1 with a child, then small groups of children, then full classes in local schools. In the final semester, students complete a full-time student teaching practicum. Skills courses also include peer teaching opportunities.
