The Physical Education Department operates two distinct undergraduate programs: a program for teacher certification in physical education, and a series of non-teaching options to prepare students to pursue career interests such as sport administration, sport psychology or coaching, and provides preparation for a graduate degree in many areas of interest.1 Consultation with an advisor can lead to a program of study leading to dual certification in Health and Physical Education.
The Physical & Health Education and Sport Studies program is housed in the School of Education and Human Services along with other prestigious majors such as Childhood and Adolescence Education, Special Education, Sports Medicine and Exercise Sciences. All programs are accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and are registered with the New York State Education Department granting initial certification as a Physical Education Teacher K-12. The curriculum has been submitted for review by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)
The comprehensive program of study leading to teaching certification includes aspects related to the Bio Sciences, such as Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology; Coaching; Administration and Leadership; Adapted Physical Education; Fitness and Wellness; Technology in Teaching; Psychology and Sociology of Physical Activity, Movement Education, Motor Development; Outdoor and Cooperative Pursuits. The major also focuses on the teaching of team and individual games along with lifeguard training, Aquatics and Dance.
Our student teachers receive extensive field-based experiences prior to the Student Teaching assignment. Opportunities to observe and participate as a teacher are provided at outstanding schools in the Buffalo Metropolitan area. The student teaching experience culminates with workshops in Multicultural Education, Child Abuse, Prevention of School Violence, Drug and Alcohol Awareness, Teaching of Literacy, Resume and Job Search Techniques, and preparation for the New York State Teachers Exams, (LAST and ATS-W).
Teacher Certification Options
The Physical Education Teacher Certification Program strives to develop a liberally educated individual 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 grades kindergarten through 12th or to pursue professional growth through further study and/or graduate work.
Physical Education majors enjoy a continuous and extensive program of clinical and laboratory experiences at the college and in the public schools. They do in-school observations, micro teaching, tutoring, videotaping, and large-group instruction. These experiences help to insure that the program remains responsive to the needs of both individual students and the profession.
The program incorporates the standards established for Physical Education at the local school district level, the New York State learning standards for health and physical education, and the Guidelines set forth by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) and the curriculum standards outlined for health education and health certification by the American Association for Health Education (AAHE). This will enable each graduate to pursue employment opportunities in careers that focus on Physical Education from birth through the completion of Grade 12.
The teacher certification option culminates with a fourteen-week student teaching experience in the public schools. Each student teacher is given the opportunity to experience the privileges and responsibilities of a full-time teacher on both the elementary and secondary levels. A person choosing to graduate without completing student teaching must fulfill this credit requirement in consultation with his/her adviser.
In order to obtain teacher certification, candidates must pass the tests required by the New York State Education Department, the NYS Teacher Exams (LAST and ATS-W). Preparation for the specialty content exam is provided. Candidates should consult their advisers for further information.
Pending New York State approval, the department will offer dual certification in both Physical Education and Health Education.
Admission
Entering physical-education majors should have a strong high school background in the biological sciences. Advanced standing from accredited two or four-year institutions of higher education is granted when course content for completed work is substantially the same as course content at Canisius. In most two-year programs, it is expected students will enroll in either liberal arts or the physical & health education curricula.
Upon completion of the sophomore year, all students must be approved as majors by the Physical Education faculty. Acceptance is contingent upon receiving a minimum grade of C (2.0) in BIO 107 and BIO 108 and in all PED courses taken in the first year of study. Students who do not meet this minimum standard may not take additional major courses, but may retake courses with deficient grades in order to qualify for acceptance into the program. A review of the candidate's portfolio will form the basis for continuation in the program. Candidates must attain a 2.5 G.P.A. in all major courses before they will be permitted to student teach. Students must complete all major requirements before student teaching. Students wishing to combine Teacher Certification curriculum in this department with the Athletic Training Program may pursue dual certification.

Non-Teaching Minors
The Physical Education major may wish to pursue a career other than teaching. One non-teaching minor and one concentration have been developed to prepare students for professional careers or graduate training. These programs lead to a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education with a minor in Sport Psychology or a concentration in Sport Administration. In each program the student must combine the elected minor or concentration with the 10 courses in the Physical Education Core.
The Sports Psychology minor provides students interested in psychology and physical education with an interdisciplinary approach to the study of sport, physical activity, health psychology or exercise psychology or coaching. The minor ideally prepares the student for careers in coaching, social psychology, or sport psychology. Students may seek advisement from either the Psychology or Physical & Health Education and Sport Studies Departments.
