Physical Education - Teacher/Coach Program
Program Overview
The teacher/coach program provides an articulated curriculum that incorporates effective instruction, extensive professional field experiences, state of the art technology and academic resources. This type of program develops lifelong learners who possess the skills, knowledge and personal-social attributes to competently assume professional roles in a culturally diverse, highly technical society. The faculty members strive to develop highly competent teachers/coaches who make a difference in the lives of K-12 students through physical activity.
The National Council for Accreditation of Coaching Education has accredited WMU at Level V for its coaching education program. WMU's coaching education program is the first to be accredited by NCACE at Level V and will serve as a prototype for other organizations seeking to promote excellence in coaching preparation.
