Hi all,
Do any of you know of any cheap or free physical education related courses? I am currently a special education teacher and am looking to pickup 30 credits in physical education to get my license extension to teach gym. These 30 credits can be in undergrad or graduate level.
Here is NYS rules to which classes are accepted.
Content Core - Physical Education - 30 S.H.
"Content core" refers to coursework that instructs candidates in the specific subject matter of the certificate title sought (e.g., Mathematics, Biology, Spanish, etc.). It is the equivalent of a major in that subject area. Course content, rather than the name of the department through which a course is offered, determines the acceptability of a course to fulfill these requirements. Courses in the methods of teaching a subject are not acceptable as study in the content area.
Note: content core courses must be passed with a "C" or above at the undergraduate level or "B-" or above at the graduate level.
Acceptable coursework includes the following topics - foundations, history, philosophy, ethics and sociology of physical education and or sport, adapted physical education, movement education, kinesiology, applied anatomy, physiology of exercise, sport and exercise science, sport and exercise psychology, motor development, motor behavior, biomechanics, and the care and prevention of athletic injuries. Also acceptable are courses in coaching and activity based classes, such as team sports, target sports, striking or fielding sports, fitness activities, individual performance activities, dance, outdoor pursuits, net or wall sports, aquatic activities, track and field, lifetime activities, tumbling, gymnastics activities and adventure activities.
Please note that pedagogical courses, including content linking pedagogy courses, do not fulfill the content core coursework requirement (e.g., teaching methods in the content area). A maximum of 6 semester hours of coursework in anatomy and physiology is acceptable for this requirement.
Thanks all as always,
Mike
