Click on any of the following to learn more about the CSULB Physical
Education credential program:
A physical education credential enables you
to teach elementary, middle school and high school physical education.
The credential has two major parts - content and pedagogy (or physical
education & teaching). In order to demonstrate subject matter competency
you must complete prescribed courses in your field. California schools
often teach a variety of activities so the credential requires you to demonstrate
breadth and depth in the content area. As you look at the list of required
courses, you will see that you are required to complete lower division
activity courses and upper division content courses.
The professional education courses will help you learn how to teach. In these courses you will learn about methodology and classroom management in the physical education setting. You will also learn about today's schools and how you can most effectively impact the diversity of students you will find there.
