COURSE OVERVIEW

Physical education teachers make essential contributions to student wellness, fitness, and achievement. As educators, we want to ensure that children and adolescents build skills, knowledge, and a foundation for lifelong health and physical literacy. Gain practical strategies to enhance standards-based instruction, assessment, and adaptations for students with disabilities. Pathways within the course meet the unique needs of early childhood, elementary, and secondary educators. Teachers will learn fresh ways to embed social-emotional learning and to advocate for inclusivity. We’ve even included opportunities to focus on your own wellness and movement! This course is teeming with tips to take your PE instruction to thevarsitylevel.
