Physical Education Program
Physical Education majors, upon successful completion of the program and graduation from Northeastern Illinois University, are entitled to Illinois State Teacher Certification, grades K-12. The program includes the 30 credit hour Education Professional Program (includes HPER- PEMT-201) and 50 credit hour Physical Education Major. Students are encouraged to complete one of the minor programs. Student Teaching for this program is scheduled for one full semester.
Unique to the Physical Education Major is the Block Program which is taken during the Senior year. In the Block Program, major courses are taken on campus during the morning hours. The student will spend six weeks in an elementary school for a minimum of 80 clinical hours, and six weeks in a high school for a minimum of 80 clinical hours. In addition, the student will spend at least 100 hours at one of the schools coaching an interscholastic sport.
NOTE: Students must be admitted into the College of Education no later than the December prior to the year they wish to enter into Clinical Block. Additionally, students must have completed all professional preparation (with the exception of TED-SCED-305P) and major core coursework prior to entering into Clinical Block.
