K-12, Middle Level Education, Secondary Education, and Health and Physical Education

Teachers have an impactful role in the life of developing young adults through mentoring, advocating and fostering learning. And as the learner develops, the teacher continues to be a big influence in the classroom as a role model and support mechanism. Not only do you become an expert in your thematic content area, but you learn to adapt in an ever-changing classroom environment so you can make a difference in the educational, social, emotional and behavioral well-being of learners - from the first class you ever teach to your last.

Commonwealth University's Health and Physical Education program will prepare you to teach grades K-12 or work in a number of fields from coaching and aquatics, to facilitating health and wellness programs in correctional settings.
