Program Mission Statement: The Health & Physical Education program prepares students as highly-skilled teachers with a biblical worldview who identify and meet the present and future needs of their students.
Program Description: The Health & Physical Education Major trains students to teach Health and Physical Education at the K-12 level. Coursework and field experiences are designed for the student to develop an understanding of both the elementary and secondary level learner, implement effective instructional practices, and to create safe learning environments. The culminating student teaching experience in the final semester allows the student to work in both public and private schools with experienced master teachers. Our graduates are fully prepared to be effective and relevant teachers in any educational setting.
Program Learning Outcomes: As a result of this program, HPE teacher candidates will:
1. Plan, create and implement health and physical education instructional materials with biblical integration.
2. Demonstrate knowledge of current trends in health and physical education while incorporating technology to analyze and interpret data.
3. Design and utilize assessment tools to evaluate student learning.
4. Identify teaching strategies to meet the needs of diverse learners.
5. Develop communication skills with individuals and groups; disseminate information in a variety of oral, written and electronic formats.
Experiential Learning: Field placement experiences take place throughout the program, beginning in the first semester and culminating in the final semester with Student Teaching. Field experiences consist of observation, internship, practicum and student teaching. Students in early education classes complete observations as a part of course requirements. Upperclassmen are assigned to internship, practicum, and student teaching experiences by the Field Placement Coordinator. Student teaching placements occur within a 40-mile radius of LBC unless the student is completing an international experience. Student teachers complete two placements, each seven ½ weeks in length in a public and private school, or one placement of 15 weeks in a public school.
