What You’ll Learn 

In Vermont State’s Physical Education program, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to stand out in your career as a forward-thinking leader. You’ll spend a lot of time applying your skills in the environments you’ll work in after you graduate:    

• Teacher Track: After at least 80 hours of field experience, you can apply for physical education initial licensure for grades Pre-k through 12. You can also enroll in the health education licensure program for dual endorsement in teaching both school health and physical education.      
• Health and Physical Activity: You’ll gain experience coaching or volunteering with our community partners in your first year. You’ll also have opportunities to boost your skills in individual and team sports and other activities.  

Outside the Classroom, In the Community 

In addition to many professional development opportunities our faculty organizes, you’ll build a strong network with graduates of our program at state, regional, and national conferences. You also can strengthen your leadership skills by sponsoring community events with groups including Vermont Special Olympics and the Society for Health and Physical Education (SHAPE-VT.)
