Bachelor of Science - Education - Multi-Age/Health & Physical Education

Program Description

Health and Physical education is an important part of a balanced education program. Students who participate in physical activity in school have higher levels of coordination and flexibility  which helps prevent injuries, tend to have fewer issues with anxiety and depression, develop leadership and socialization skills and are more likely to stay healthy as adults. As a health and physical education teacher, graduates are helping students develop motor skills, knowledge and behaviors needed to create a future life of active living and emotional stability. 

Classwork is comprised of a Multi-Age Education core courses and Health and Physical Education specialization course. Classwork in the first year will focus on teaching methodologies and introductory practices for teaching subject matter. Higher level health and physical education classes offer a mix of education, biology, health and sport analysis courses. Students will explore the psychology behind team and individual sports, how to implement physical education in a school, how developmental stages will impact what is taught and much more. Findlay students benefit from field experiences outside campus beginning in their first year. Over four years of courses, students engage in over 1000 hours of fieldwork with exposure to a  variety of districts and classrooms.
