SPORT PEDAGOGY
A degree in kinesiology with a concentration in physical education (sport pedagogy) prepares students to be highly skilled physical educators and leads to an Alabama Class B teaching certificate. Kinesiology majors with a concentration in physical education study as a cohort. The core classes taken are elementary, secondary, & advanced methods, which teach students effective teaching styles and how to deliver different curriculum models appropriate for elementary and secondary students. Early field experiences are embedded within these methods and content courses and serve as excellent preparation for the culminating student-teaching internship. Students also take courses in the exercise sciences, which are foundational to teaching physical education as well as general education classes.
