Physical Education Teacher Jobs in Minnesota

A Physical Education Teacher in an elementary school setting plays a crucial role in promoting physical activity and healthy lifestyle habits to young children. They plan and deliver instructional programs that facilitate the development of motor skills, strength, body coordination, and knowledge of rules and strategies for various sports and physical activities. In addition to creating fun and engaging lessons, they also assess students' abilities, provide instructions and feedback, and encourage active participation and sportsmanship. They may also coordinate school-wide physical activities or sports events and ensure safety protocols are observed during physical education classes.

Professionals in this role should possess strong communication skills, patience, creativity, and knowledge of child development and age-appropriate physical activities. They are typically required to have a bachelor's degree in physical education or a related field, along with a teaching license or certification. Additional certifications, like CPR and First Aid, are also beneficial. Prior to becoming a Physical Education Teacher, individuals could have roles as a teacher's assistant, after-school program coordinator, or sports coach, which provide valuable experience in working with children and managing group activities.
