Students shall have two placements of 7-8 weeks duration each, with one in elementary PE classes (grades K-5) and the other in secondary PE classes (grades 6-12). Students are admitted to this course through a stringent screening process conducted by the Teacher Education Committee. No student is admitted to clinical practice unless that student has completed all degree requirements, made application, and been approved for clinical practice. Those applying for clinical practice must demonstrate accomplishment through grades, quality points, and completion of field experiences. Upon successful completion of clinical practice and the edTPA portfolio, a letter grade and a recommendation for teacher licensure will be given. Fee applies.
