What course do you need to take to become a P.E teacher?

Answer 1

You would need the basic education classes followed by Different kind of physical activity classes like Basketball to Hockey.

Answer 2

Judging by the teachers I had at school I would suggest a course in Pig Ignorance for starters. Next would be a course 'How to be at your angriest all the time.' Then, most important, 'How to throw a piece of chalk so that it hits a students eye without actually bruising it.'.......and I was a really good sportsman at school...I pitied the useless ones.

No really, nowadays most P.E teachers can read and write in joined up letters. Some can even feed themselves.

The best ones have probably done a 3 year teaching course. Others may have cheated by studying Sports Science and then done a 1 year PGCE. They may be brighter but they have had less contact with real students. Take your pick.

Answer 3

I looked at a college Physical Education major page and saw that the requirements are divided based on whether you plan to teach K-9 or the higher grades 9-12 (or a broad spectrum of K-12). Some of the courses included Human Anatomy and Physiology, Sport Science, Kinesiology, Sports Medicine, Methods of Education, Psychology and other basic academic education courses.

MOST Phys. Ed. teachers I had in junior high and high school also taught other courses--history was a favorite. I imagine that, no matter what core Phys. Ed. based courses you have to take, you must also have ample rounding in education in order to meet these outside requirements and function within the complex system of public education. A coach/phys. ed. instructor wears many hats at a school, and if you wish to go into this at the primary or secondary level, you should be prepared to teach another subject as well.

Answer 4

Where I live, you would need a degree (four years) in Kinesiology or Physical Education followed by a B.Ed (two years) in either Elementary or Secondary Education. It would help if your undergrad degree included another teachable minor like English or History. One school here does a combined degree program that leaves you with two degrees but can be finished in five years. There is another program that allows you to do a PE degree that focuses on Education, so you're even more prepared to teach (but you still need a BEd). That second type of program would put you at a competitive advantage for entrace into the BEd program.

Answer 5

Answer 6

as being a p.e teacher just take the courses they provide for you to take

Answer 7

My friend who I went to school with is a PE teacher at my daughters school. She did a degree in sport science and then a 12 month Post Graduate Certificate in Education.

Hope this helps!

Answer 8

Bremner, you are my hero!

Seriously, it depends on what state you're in. In my state, to get a certification to teach ANYTHING, you need a bachelor's in your subject, and something like 3 years of post-graduate college work. I've been in college for over 6 years now (got my BFA and am 2 years into my certification) and I am SO tired of it and want to start teaching already.

Make sure teaching is your dream before you start the coursework - it's a huge load!

Answer 9

Reseach colleges and universities that have a Physical Education major. Keep involved in Sports. Good Luck to you.

Answer 10

First you'll need a lobotomy. Or if a female, become a lesbian.

You need a Bachelor's and Master's in Physical Education.
