Physical Education or PE teachers instruct young students in how to exercise,play sport,and do other recreational activities correctly and safely. PE Teachers help the development of coordination,balance,posture ,and flexibility with things like simple catching and throwing skills. The followings are the major responsibilities of being a PE teacher. Most of the time you will be in charge of teaching health and/or PE classes during the day. Many teachers have to teach at more than one school. At the secondary school you may have to teach a Heath class or two. Coaching is another duty you may choose to do especially early on in a career. In fact,you may choose to coach several sports. You are not expected to be experts in all sports,but must be able to show students the basic techniques involved in a wide range of activities. Other duties that you may have to partake in during the day. And,of course,you will need to attend faculty and parent-teacher conference meetings throughout the year. Lastly,many physical education teachers are required to do a year-end Field Day or a physical education show of some kind. Recreation Officers often find themselves working for local government authorities and local groups. Their aim is to raise people's awareness of healthy lifestyles and improve general fitness through arranging recreational activities for groups of all ages from the very young to the elderly. There are many other job opportunities which our graduates can look forward to. If you are interested in any of these,please drop in on me later. So much for today. |
