Course description (exactly as it will appear in the catalog, including prerequisites):
PEP 3620 (3) The course is designed to provide students with instructional methods, activities and skills for teaching Physical Education K-6 and Health Education. The course will include a 15-hour hands-on-practicum teaching experience in an area public school. The content of this course will be presented through various instructional strategies and teaching models. Prerequisite: EDUC 3100.
Justification for the new course or for changes to an existing course. (Note: Justification should emphasize academic rationale for the change or new course. This is particularly important for courses requesting upper-division status.)
The design of the new course is as requested by the teacher education program to incorporate both physical education and health in the same course. By combining the two previous courses the elementary education majors will have fewer credits required for their degree. The new course will incorporate the PEP 3630 Methods of Teaching Elementary Physical Education (3) and the HLTH 4300 Teaching Elementary Health Education(2)into one three credit course. The course will be less inclusive of the content previously delivered in the two courses and a practicum of fewer contact hours.
