运动学理学学士-体育教师教育（PETE）

体育教师教育（PETE）集中度专门用于为学生准备在公立学校从事体育教师的职业。PETE浓度建立在SHAPE America国家标准和TExES物理教育EC-12标准的基础上。这些标准要求学生具备充分的身体素质，并能表现出各种各样的运动技能。进入此浓度后，学生应身体健康，并始终保持该水平的身体健康。同样，希望学生能够表现出基本的运动技能，例如踢，掷，基本的体操动作和运动技能。那些技能表现不佳的学生将有机会学习和提高，但必须达到令人满意的成绩水平才能参加实习。
The Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) Concentration is specifically designed to prepare students for a career as physical education teachers in the public schools. The PETE concentration is founded on the SHAPE America national standards and the TExES Physical Edcuation EC-12 standards. These standards require that students possess a substantial level of physical fitness and can perform a great variety of motor skills. Students are expected to be physically fit upon entering this concentration and maintain that level of physical fitness throughout. Similarly, students are expected to be able to perform fundamental movement skills such as kicking, throwing, basic gymnastic moves, and locomotor skills. Students who perform those skills poorly will be given an opportunity to learn and improve, but will have to meet satisfactory levels of performance prior to enrolling in internship. The PETE concentration requires admission to the Educator Preparation Program in the College of Education, successful completion of the THEA, a comprehensive Physical Education content examination, and passing the Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES) teacher certification examination before being admitted to student teaching. The student teaching internship requires that student teachers spend 5 full work days per week for an entire semester in the public schools improving their teaching skills. This is the culminating learning experience and it is not financially compensated, but students may receive financial aid. This concentration is appropriate for those students who are committed to becoming teachers of physical education, a highly rewarding and challenging profession.
