The BS Degree in Kinesiology with a Concentration in Physical Education prepares students for entry into a teaching credential program. This course of study satis�es State requirements for the Subject Matter Program in Physical Education and for departmental standards of competence in the subject matter of Physical Education.

Physical Education and Adapted Physical Education Teaching

Students who wish to become credentialed as public school teachers in physical education or as adapted physical education specialists should select the concentration in physical education program. However, to be eligible for admission to the credential program at SF State, students must attain a GPA of 2.75 in the Subject Matter Program curriculum. Students must work closely with an advisor to ful�ll the requirements of the Subject Matter Program, and should also. Contact the Credential and Graduate Services Center for teaching credential information. The Center is located in Burk Hall 244, (415) 405-3594; credinfo@sfsu.edu; http://coe.sfsu.edu/cstpc.

Advising

Students in all the programs must work closely with an advisor to select the proper degree program, concentration, and con�guration of courses to support career and scholarly interest related to the study of human movement and physical activity. Students seeking to major in or change their major to kinesiology must consult with the undergraduate advisor in GYM 137 to be o�cially accepted into the major. Undergraduate students interested in pursuing a master’s degree in kinesiology should speak to their academic advisor after completing core requirements in the program (KIN 384, KIN 457, KIN 480, KIN 486, and KIN 504). Many of the courses listed in the major patterns have prerequisites or co-requisites and must be taken in a particular sequence. (Consult the on-line course descriptions.) See "Duplicate Use of Credit Between the Major and GE" at http://bulletin.sfsu.edu/undergraduate_education/uged/Undergraduate_Degree_Overview. Prior approval by the student's major advisor is required for all individually tailored groups of courses and for course substitutions.

Portfolio Preparation

Each student in the Subject Matter Preparation Program will develop and maintain a professional portfolio. The professional growth and development of the student, through completion of courses and through required and recommended non-credit bearing experiences, should be subject to the students own ongoing and should be thoughtfully documented. This process should serve as a mechanism for personal growth. The resulting professional portfolio will be an evolving document: a means for personal goal setting and assessment; and a means for formative and summative evaluation.

Adapted Physical Education Specialist Credential

By completing the following courses, along with the Subject Matter Credential in Physical education, a Specialist Credential in Adapted Physical Education can be achieved.

The internship (KIN 630) is taken during the students’ last year within the specialist credential program. The internship consists of six to eight hours a week, for twelve weeks of providing supervised movement experiences for individuals with disabilities. This experience is completed under the direct supervision of certi�ed adapted physical education teachers. Placements are related to student’s needs and direction of employment pursuits.
