Overview

You’ll learn how best to transmit your knowledge of physical education to eager students, helping them to discover the personal enhancements that come with health, wellness, and fitness.

Key Features

The Physical Education Teacher program from The City University of New York prepares you for employment as a physical education teacher at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, and the graduates make up a large percentage of New York City’s Pre-K through 12 physical education teachers.

This program will not only support you to gain New York State Certification but will also provide you with both the analytical and practical skills to offer students the support needed to thrive.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

The Professional Track (Option 1 A) enhances teaching skills for students who have their New York State Initial Certification in teaching physical education (P–12). Graduates of this track will be prepared to supplement their instructional, evaluative, and supervisory skills in their positions as teachers, coaches, athletic directors, administrators, and other education-related roles.

The Pre-Professional Track (Option 2 B) is designed for students who come to the field from a background outside of the allied health professions or teacher education and seek initial certification to teach in New York State. The pre-professional track leads to New York State Initial and, after three years of fulltime teaching, professional certification.

The TransB Track (Option C) is designed for candidates enrolled in a DOE Collaborative program.
