Sport Pedagogy
Description of Program
The Sport Pedagogy emphasis is intended to provide students with coursework in physical education teaching. This major WILL NOT lead to licensure in physical education with graduation. In order to be eligible for future licensure, a student must achieve a 2.75 or higher overall GPA upon graduation. Students must maintain a 2.5 or higher GPA to remain in the Sport Pedagogy emphasis. Students will need to pursue additional coursework and program requirements to receive licensure and should meet with their adviser to discuss career options. Students wanting to graduate with a licensure in teaching should pursue the Physical Education Teaching emphasis.
It is the mission of the Sport Pedagogy program, within the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, to enable students to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to effectively teach and promote physical activity as an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. UW-Eau Claire Sport Pedagogy graduates will demonstrate knowledge of and skills in the Wisconsin Content Guidelines for Physical Education.
