The Kinesiology Department offers two degrees: the Bachelor of Science in Education degree (B.S.E.) with a major in Physical Education and the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Health Promotion and Wellness. It is the policy of the department of kinesiology that majors be ambassadors of fitness and healthy life-styles. All majors should have knowledge of, and will be assessed on, cardiovascular function, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Majors in the department of kinesiology are strongly encouraged to become involved with professional clubs and organizations at the departmental, state, and national levels. The departments programs of study reflect guidelines from the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (AAHPERD), the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE), Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the Association for Worksite Health Promotion (AWHP), the American Red Cross, and requirements from the School of Education at Missouri Southern State College. Students studying in the department of kinesiology must earn a grade of C or better in all required courses with a Kine prefix. The department of kinesiology has established a relationship with the Sport Institute of Finland in Vierumaki, Finland. This agreement provides opportunities for students from Vierumaki to study at Missouri Southern, and conversely, students from Missouri Southern may visit and study in Finland.

Role
The School of Education is comprised of three departments: Kinesiology, Psychology, and Teacher Education. The combined role of these departments involves mentors and scholars dedicated to human development and to shaping communities. Additionally, the school provides support courses in physical education and psychology for the core curriculum. All departments prepare students for professional careers and/or graduate school. The faculty serve as professional mentors for their students by demonstrating current practices that have been developed from research. The faculty also contribute to the scholarly community through research and writing within their disciplines. The goal of the school is to provide an environment where scholars can expand their knowledge and apply new skills to shape communities. Specific goals include: 1. To acquire a working knowledge and competency in the philosophical foundation of the discipline; 2. To provide cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning in communication, problem solving, and values clarification; To develop an understanding of how humans grow and develop. This

Faculty Lipira - Head, Beard, Beeler, Conklin, Cooke, Corn, Dykens, Fancher, Faubion, Green, Hobbs, Hubbard, Jimerson, Lusk, Mitts, OKeefe, Rutledge, Smith, Traywick, Turner, Vavra, Faculty in the department of kinesiology feel that all students at Missouri Southern State College should be trained in sound principles of fitness and wellness. It has been estimated that approximately 60% of Americans are not regularly physically active. This sedentary lifestyle may manifest itself in the form of chronic conditions including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, anxiety and depression, and certain cancers. The core course requirements (Kine 103, Lifetime Wellness and Kine 101, Introduction to Physical Activity) will assist all students in making the lifestyle changes necessary for becoming active, fit, and healthy.
Physical Education
Students who desire certification as a teacher of physical education will become qualified at both the elementary and secondary level (K-12). Physical education K-12 majors should refer to page 165 where the requirements for Missouri Southerns teacher education program are listed.

Coaching
In the state of Missouri, head and assistant coaches in all sports must be certified teachers or administrators and be contracted by the Board of Education for the full school year as a full-or part-time teacher or administrator. The school board may also hire, as an assistant coach only, an individual who possesses a valid substitute or temporary (provisional) certificate, provided the school provides evidence that the position is required to maintain existence of the program and/or an adequate safety level, the coach completes an in-service training program, and a copy of the current teaching certificate is on file at the school. All coaches must attend a Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) rules meeting. For the coaching requirements of another state, you will need to contact the states governing agency. For students with an interest in coaching, we offer the following related courses. These courses are not required and are considered electives.

Teacher Education
The descriptions of the teacher education programs and the requirements that are listed for each program in teacher education in this catalog are subject to change during the period that this catalog is in use. As changes are made by the State Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), legislative and regulatory bodies, and accrediting agencies, candidates in the program will be alerted through the advising process. Teacher education candidates

Teacher Education / 165
are responsible for their programs of study. They are encouraged to obtain degree plan sheets for the program they are pursuing and work closely with their advisers. Eligibility for current certification is a requirement for graduation. Transfer students with a Missouri Associate of Arts degree will need to meet several MSSC core requirements. The assistant teacher certification officer, Taylor Hall 222, must complete a transcript evaluation as the core is not automatically complete for certification. The teacher education program consists of the Teacher Education Department and Secondary Education Committee, the Teacher Education Council (which serve as the governing unit), and the Committee on Admission and Retention. The Teacher Education Department oversees all teacher education programs and is specifically responsible for the elementary education program grades 1 through 6; early childhood education program, birth through grade 3; middle school program, grades 5 through 9; special education programs, grades K through 12; and TESOL program grades K through 12. The Dean of the School of Education is the chief spokesperson for the teacher education program and in this capacity is the chief administrator responsible for the teacher education programs. The dean serves under the direction of the President of the College and the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The teacher education program is based on a conceptual framework that defines the role of the teacher as an educational decision maker. In this role, the teacher must make decisions about pedagogical design and lesson design. Decisions concerning pedagogical design include those regarding classroom management, curriculum development, field experiences, technology, and program evaluation. Decisions about lesson design include communications, use of science, technology, and the arts, problem solving, values clarification, intellectual domains, and social institutions. An extension of the role of the teacher as an educational decision maker includes the teacher as a learner, provider of services, researcher, and change agent. Central to the preparation for teaching is the conceptual framework, composed of knowledge, skills, and techniques that have been gathered from research, reported effective practices, and learned societies in such areas as human growth and development, learning theory, assessment, cultural diversity and special needs, curriculum content, psychological, sociological, historical, and philosophical foundations, principles of effective instruction, and school effectiveness. In order to be an effective educational decision maker, the teacher must possess certain knowledge, cognitive abilities, and pedagogical skills. These are included in the following 10 standards: 1. The preservice teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline(s) within the context of a global society and creates learning experiences that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for students. 2. The preservice teacher understands how students learn and develop, and provides learning opportunities that support the intellectual, social, and personal development of all students. 3. The preservice teacher understands how students differ in their approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners. 4. The preservice teacher recognizes the importance of long-range planning and curriculum development and develops, implements, and evaluates curriculum based upon student, district, and state performance standards. 5. The preservice teacher uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage students development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills. 6. The preservice teacher uses an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation. 7. The preservice teacher models effective verbal, nonverbal, and media communication techniques to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom. 8. The preservice teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social and physical development of the learner. 9. The preservice teacher is a reflective practitioner who continually assesses the effects of choices and actions on others. This reflective practitioner actively seeks out opportunities to grow professionally and utilize the assessment and professional growth to generate more learning for more students. 10. The preservice teacher fosters relationships with school colleagues, parents and educational partners in the larger community to support student learning and well-being.
Admission to the Teacher Education Program
After the candidate declares a major in teacher education, two levels of admission to the teacher education program exist. The first level is application for tentative formal admission. Applications for tentative formal admission to the teacher education program may be filed with the Dean of the School of Education after the candidate has declared a teacher education major and successfully completed 55 semester hours of prescribed course work, including current semester enrollment. The deadline for application is the third week in February for those seeking formal admission in the subsequent fall semester. The deadline for application for those seeking admission in the spring semester is the third week in October. Students must have tentative formal admittance before courses can be taken in professional education. Courses with an EDUC prefix cannot be taken until the Junior Block (Educ 329, 321, & 423) has been completed, except for Educ 100, Educ 200, and Educ 302, which may be taken at any time. Educ 301 must be taken before or concurrently with the Junior Block. Educ 316, Educ 324, Educ 342, Educ 380, Educ 422, and Educ 480 may be taken concurrently with the Junior Block classes.
166 / Teacher Education
Qualifications for tentative formal admission include the following: 1. Submit a completed application that is signed by the candidates adviser. 2. Have a cumulative GPA of 2.75 in all course work. All candidates in education must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.5 in their teaching areas, e.g., art, mathematics, elementary education, etc. 3. Pass all sections of the Missouri CBase Test with a minimum score of 235. (This test is not required of post baccalaureates.) 4. Have a composite ACT enhanced score of 20 or a SAT (VM) of 800. 5. Submit a hand-written autobiography in correct and coherent standard English. The autobiography must be read and approved by the candidates adviser. 6.

Upon identification the candidate will need to make certain documents and information available to the Admissions and Retention Committee of the Teacher Education Program, i.e., conviction status, probation information, recommendations from court and public officials associated with the conviction. This process must be repeated when application is made for student teaching. There is a process that convicted felons must follow before consideration is given for certification in the State of Missouri. Failure to identify oneself will cause the candidate to be immediately removed from the program. When candidates complete these qualifications, they will receive tentative formal admission to the teacher education program and notification from the Dean. Candidates who fail to gain tentative formal admission also will be notified by the Dean. Reasons for failure to gain tentative formal admission will be stated, along with suggested corrective measures, should the candidate wish to continue pursuing formal admission. The second level is full formal admission, which is granted after the candidate successfully completes the eight credit hour Junior Block: Educ 329, Pedagogical Theory, Methods, and Practices; Educ 321, Micro Teaching; and Educ 423, Classroom Management. The candidate must be recommended by the instructors of these courses. The candidate must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.75. If at any point in the program a candidates GPA drops below accepted levels, the candidate will be dismissed from the teacher education program. Grades below a C in professional education courses will not be accepted for the degree requirements in teacher education. Candidates seeking certification in elementary education, middle school education, secondary education, special education, and early childhood education must have a grade of C or better in each of the courses in these certification areas. 1. The following list are courses at MSSC that must have a grade no lower than a C. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) classifies these courses under professional requirements as foundations of teaching, teaching methods, elementary school courses, and clinical experiences.

After completion of Educ 329, Pedagogical Theory, Methods, and Practices, but before the professional semester, candidates in early childhood education, elementary education, middle school education, and special education take approximately 26 or more hours of work in professional education and in a teaching specialty. During this time the candidate must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or better and a GPA of 2.5 or better in the teaching specialty. The candidate must earn a C or better in all professional education courses, and must retake courses in which a grade lower than C is earned. The candidate is expected to maintain those personal and professional requirements that were met as part of the admission requirements to teacher education. Requirements that must be met prior to admission to student teaching are: 1. Be fully admitted to the teacher education program. 2. Have a cumulative GPA of 2.75. 3.

offered at MSSC. This course must be taken before any of the methods courses in special education can be taken. The MSSC requirement is for all special education candidates to complete the cross-categorical methods course and one additional methods course in any of the three areas: mild/ moderate learning disabled, mild/moderate behavioral disordered, or mild/moderate mentally handicapped. An additional methods course in LD, MH, or BD, is required to provide the candidate with a depth of knowledge in a specific categorical area. The cross-categorical practicum satisfies the practicum requirement for both areas of certification, provided there is at least one student in the classroom with the targeted categorical eligibility. Candidates student teach in cross-categorical disabilities and must meet all course requirements for that area, qualify for admission to student teaching, and then complete ten weeks student teaching in a crosscategorical classroom. That includes students in the additional category chosen. Candidates who pursue these programs must carefully follow the suggested order of study for these categories.
