The Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education housed in the Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Science (KRS) Department is nationally accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). The Teaching/Coaching Licensure (TC) program is a part of the College of Education and Health's (CEH) professional preparation program curricula approved by the Arkansas Department of Education. Our TC curriculum develops teachers of Health and Physical Education who are competent in the design and implementation of effective K-12 programming that promotes 21st century health and physically literate individuals. TC students observe Health and Physical education teachers and students in urban and rural public-school classrooms.
The TC curriculum culminates with a year-long (two semester) internship in Arkansas public schools. In the internship, TC students partner with innovative teaching partners who provide TC students with real-world experiences in teaching, classroom management, and coaching. TC students emerge from their internship as practitioners capable of applying content knowledge, curriculum and instructional design, classroom management, and assessment strategies.
