Professional Practice (6-12 credits)
Students seeking initial certification as health and physical education teachers must also student teach as required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education before IUP’s Health and Physical Education Coordinator will recommend approval for certification to the certifying officer at IUP—the Dean of the College of Education and Educational Technology.
• Those certified as elementary teachers must complete six credits in secondary student teaching.
• Those certified as secondary teachers must complete six credits of elementary student teaching.
• Non-certified students must complete both elementary and secondary student teaching for a total of 12 credits
The content and field experiences included in the M.Ed. in Health and Physical Education program are based on the national standards of the American Association for Health Education and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education.
