Program Director: Devin Beasley, Ed.D.
Overview
This emphasis is designed for students who would like to teach physical education in a single subject setting within schools. Traditionally this has been in grades 7-12, but increasingly school districts are hiring physical education specialists for the elementary grades as well. Using California state guidelines, the emphasis has been designed to give students a broad content base in order to prepare them to pass the CSET examination, which is required prior to entry into a teacher education program.
