- // Overview Curriculum Roadmap Learning Goals Minors Courses Department Chair: Program Director: Jeffrey R. Lindauer, Ph.D. Introduction The Physical and Health Education Teacher Education (P/HETE) program strives to develop a well-rounded professional who has special knowledge and skills in the areas of movement and sport and their interrelated disciplines. Major emphasis is placed on the development of educational and performance foundations which will prepare an individual to teach in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 and/or related professional fields including further graduate study. Candidates enjoy a continuous and extensive program of didactic and laboratory experiences at the college and through collaborations with professional development schools which provide opportunities for in-school observations, micro-teaching, and large-group instruction. These experiences help to ensure the program remains responsive to the needs of the candidates, students, and the profession. The P/HETE program stresses local school district level connections aligned to both the New York State and the Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE) America Physical and Health Education Learning Standards. The teacher certification option culminates with a fourteen-week student teaching experience in the PK-12 schools. Each teacher candidate is given the opportunity to experience the responsibilities of a full-time teacher in physical education and health at both the elementary and secondary levels. Licensure Disclosure Before enrolling in any academic degree or certificate program with the intent to seek a professional license or certification in your state, it is vital that you determine whether the academic program will support or fulfill requirements for that license or certification. We advise you to contact the relevant licensing board in states where programs may not automatically meet licensing criteria on their own to determine what other requirements may be needed for professional licensure or certification if you are or will be residing outside New York State. Consult our Professional Licensure Disclosure website for specific information about your intended program. Qualifications Academic Criteria for Endorsement and Completion of Program: Cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher Grade of C or higher in major courses Satisfactory performance in field placements Advisement All students should have an advisor in the major and should contact the department directly to have an advisor assigned if they do not already have one. Meetings with academic advisors are required prior to students receiving their PIN for course registration each semester. All majors should work closely with their advisor in discussing career expectations, choosing their major electives, developing their entire academic program and planning their co-curricular or supplemental academic experiences. Double Majors Students who wish to expand their educational opportunities may decide to declare a double major. This decision may be based on career goals, planned graduate studies, and/or other student interests. Before a student declares a double major, it is important to meet with the appropriate academic departments for advisement. In order to declare a double major, the student must complete the Major/Minor Declaration form. This form will be submitted electronically and reviewed and approved by each department chairperson as well as the appropriate associate dean. Per university policy, each additional major requires a minimum of 15 credits that do not apply to the student's first or subsequent major. Some double major combinations can be completed within the minimum 120 credit hour degree requirement, but in other cases, additional coursework may be required. Please note that students will only receive one degree unless completing the dual degree requirement, including at least 150 undergraduate credit hours, regardless of the number of majors they complete. Both (all) majors appear on a student’s transcript. Minors in Other Disciplines Minors provide students the opportunity to pursue additional interests but generally do not require as many courses as a major. Minors generally range from five to eight required courses. To receive a minor, the student must complete at least 9 credit hours of coursework distinct from their other credentials (i.e., majors, other minors). The complete list of minors is available on the Canisius website and in the catalog and provides links to each minor. Some majors and minors can be completed within the minimum 120 credit hour degree requirement, but in some cases additional coursework may be required. Students must complete the appropriate minor request form. Curriculum An Ignatian Foundation All undergraduate students must complete either the Canisius Core Curriculum or the All-College Honors Curriculum . Many schools refer to their college-wide undergraduate requirements as "general education" requirements. We believe that the core curriculum and the honors curriculum are more than a series of required classes; they provide the basis for a Jesuit education both with content and with required knowledge and skills attributes that are central to our mission. Free Electives Students may graduate with a bachelor's degree with more but not less than 120 credit hours. Free electives are courses in addition to the Canisius Core Curriculum or All-College Honors Curriculum and
