Description: This course is a companion course to and must be taken concurrently with PETE 3500: Methods of Teaching Elementary Physical Education. This course integrates the content, theory, and conceptual aspects of academic and professional teacher education in a 60-hour standards based field experience in elementary physical education. This field experience provides the pre-student teaching candidate opportunities in school settings to demonstrate their developing teaching competencies and extends opportunities to implement and assess integrated lessons that promote student achievement. Students apply principles of teaching and classroom management to make appropriate decisions for diverse groups of learners and to adjust approaches for elementary physical education students with special needs.
