Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:

(Attach permission from the affected units.  If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

Describe the rationale for the proposed program change(s):

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

1) Replace required course HESC343 Adapted Physical Education with an option for either HESC343 OR HESC 342 Introduction to Adapted Physical Activity.  Rationale: Both of these courses require structured, one-on-one student interactions with physically challenged individuals from the community. HESC343 is restricted to Health and Physical Education (HPE) majors, and this has become problematic because there are no longer enough students in the major to work with the number of community individuals participating in the class. HESC 342 covers the same material and is open to all HNES students.  Having more students in the class will give the students a more meaningful experience working with people with special needs.

 

2) Remove the following statement from the University Catalog:  "Students must complete 45 hours of volunteer work with school-aged children. A maximum of fifteen hours may be brought in from their high school work experience. All volunteer work must be reviewed and accepted by the HPE faculty". 

Rationale:  The HPE faculty have been informed that we cannot require this.

 

3) Add the following statement to the University Catalog:  "Achieve and Maintain the healthy zones on all components of health related fitness as measured by Fitnessgram.*

*Accommodations will be made for teacher candidates with documented health and physical impairments.

Rationale:  This is a new performance indicator required for NCATE accreditation and the HPE faculty must collect data on this.

 

Program Requirements: 

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog.  If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
