Student Teaching
Physical education majors who plan to become teacher-certified must complete a student teaching experience. Student teaching is a fourteen credit-hour, full semester course taken during the senior year.
The student teaching experience at SUNY Cortland is very highly regarded as the "culminating experience" of our entire education program, and , as such it is considered to be the single most important aspect of preparing for a career as a teacher.
