What is Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE)?

Picture
"Preparing future physical educators to guide children in the process of becoming 
physically active for life”
"Society is recognizing the health and quality of life implications associated with low levels of physical activity. Graduates of the Department of Kinesiology are well prepared to work in a variety of physical activity professions serving people of all ages. Student- centered instruction blending theoretical knowledge and hands - on experience makes our graduates attractive candidates for careers or advanced study in preventative and rehabilitative exercise training, corporate fitness, personal training and fitness leadership, physical education, and sports medicine." For more detailed information on what learning objectives are covered in the program go to 2008 National Initial Physical Education Teacher Education Standards.
