Physical Education (PED)
Jennifer Currier, Steven DeVries (chair), Stephen Miller, Ray Reasland, Ed Timm, Ellen Whale (athletic director)
Emphasis is given to preparation for teaching physical education and coaching competitive sports, for a career as a physical fitness and wellness professional, and for specialized graduate studies. Within the major options and electives in the Department, there is ample opportunity for selection of courses to meet the special interests and needs of individual students.
Fitness Major : A minimum of nine course credits in Physical Education, which include PED 111, 213, 214, 237, 308, 334, 362, 480, and at least one course credit selected from 365-369.
Teaching Major : A minimum of nine course credits in Physical Education, to include PED 111, 213, 214, 237, 308, 318, 327, 328, 334, and either 324 or 331. PED 324 is required for students seeking K-6 certification. PED 331 is required for those seeking 7-12 certification. In addition to the foregoing requirements, prospective teachers must also apply for admission to the Teacher Education Program (preferably at the start of their sophomore year) and complete a second major in either Elementary or Secondary Education described under Education.
Coaching Endorsement or Authorization: To obtain a Coaching Endorsement the individual must complete a major in either Elementary or Secondary Education and be granted an Iowa Teaching License. The Coaching Authorization is available to those who do not major in Elementary or Secondary Education or who do not hold an Iowa Teaching License. Both the Endorsement and the Authorization qualify an individual to be a head coach or an assistant coach in any sport offered in the Iowa public schools. Students who complete one of the following programs may apply for the Endorsement or the Authorization through the Office of Teacher Education.
- Coaching Endorsement :
PED 205 and completion of a major in
Elementary or Secondary Education,
which includes EDU 215 (Educational Psychology).
*
- Coaching Authorization :
PED 205 and EDU 215 (Educational Psychology).
*
- * In place of PED 205, Physical Education majors satisfy the requirement for the Coaching Authorization by taking PED 213, 214, 237, 308, 340, and EDU 215. These same courses combined with a major in either Elementary or Secondary Education will also satisfy the requirements for a Coaching Endorsement.
